Between 6th and 12th of November 2023, research institutions across Germany invite the interested public to experience particle physics in a variety of ways

Where does our universe come from? And how did it develop after the Big Bang? What secrets does the cosmos hold? And what makes the Large Hadron Collider the "world machine"? During the countrywide Woche der Teilchenwelt (Particle World Week), you can find answers to these questions with the help of scientists. The member institutions of Netzwerk Teilchenwelt open their doors to share their enthusiasm for particle physics with the public.

Virtual visits to CERN, guided tours through the accelerator facilities of German research institutes, interactive workshops, movie nights and talks with physicists – all this is possible during the event week. The research institutions of Netzwerk Teilchenwelt, including TU Dresden, have prepared more than 20 events with a wide range of formats and topics for visitors of all ages.

The Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics, whose members conduct research on the ATLAS experiment at CERN in Geneva, is organizing the following events during the Woche der Teilchenwelt:

Evening lecture: Does Dark Matter consist of Black Holes? (Prof. Günther Hasinger, TU Dresden/German Centre for Astrophysics) 
Tue, 7.11 | 6:00 pm 
Auditorium POT/81/H Gerhart-Potthoff-Bau, TU Dresden (also in livestream)

Science in the Pub: All about CERN and life in the physics lab (in cooperation with Live Science e.V.) 
Thu, 9.11 | 7:30 pm 
Lohrmanns Tap Room, Kamenzer Straße 13, 01099 Dresden

Virtual visit to the ATLAS experiment at CERN 
Fri, 10.11. | 4:00 p.m.

About Netzwerk Teilchenwelt
Netzwerk Teilchenwelt (Network ‘Particle World’) is a project that communicates particle physics to young people and teachers, involving more than 30 research institutes throughout Germany as well as CERN. It is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as part of the KONTAKT2 project (Communication, Recruitment of Young Scientists and Sharing the Discoveries in the Field of the Smallest Particles with the General Public). The project is led by the TU Dresden. The German Physical Society (DPG) is the patron of Netzwerk Teilchenwelt.
