A short recount on the structure of matter and its forces will be followed by an explanation on how particles interact with matter.
A particular emphasis will be given to gaseous detectors, as a way to detect the passage of charged particles, the properties of the detectors, the pitfalls in their construction and their future use.
The presentation will be followed by a few examples of how large scientific projects (CERN being a good example) allow scientist from different cultures to work together for a common purpose.
