Alongside the wonderful weather and the beautiful city, I would say that my favourite part of the visit were the guided tours, which gave me insight into how high calibre research facilities like theirs operate- the sheer scale of some of the experiments was astounding! Additionally, the combined teaching and touring ultimately inspired the investigation into neutrinoless double beta decay during the final project, where we were tasked in groups to design a detector".

This incredible opportunity was definitely one of the highlights of my summer, and I would highly recommend it, especially for those with a keen interest in particle physics!

Well done to this student whose superb writing skills won her a place on this inspirational visit to CERN. It really does sound like it was a great opportunity with lots of similarly enthusiastic students. Well done!
