After a hiatus of a couple of years, Erlangen physics students had the chance to join a 3 day excursion to CERN. 42 students (accompanied by Prof. Dr. Anna Nelles and PD Dr. Robert Lahmann) learned about the history of CERN, visited the ATLAS control room, the Antimatter Factory, the CERN exhibit and various other places at the world‘s largest center for particle physics research. The trip was kindly sponsored by the Department of Physics and the elite graduate program of physics at FAU.
