The best summer of my life!
The best summer of my life! My stay at CERN was fantastic. I learnt about it through my institute and my supervisor in Pakistan. I am a physicist and I am working here under the supervision of Peiluigi Paolucci. My project title is "RPC chamber construction, commissioning of CERN RE4 RPC detectors and analysis of

Summer Student at CERN: a life changing experience.
Summer Student at CERN: a life changing experience. Without doubt, it's every particle physicist's dream to be involved in some work at CERN. And my dream just came true. My name is Chilufya MWEWA and I'm from Zambia. Currently, I am pursuing a master's degree in experimental High Energy Physics (HEP) at the Unversity of

From Robotics to CERN and back
From Robotics to CERN and back Let me introduce my self. I’m Imre Nagi, but you can call me Imre. I am an undergraduate student from Bandung Institute of Technology majoring Electrical Engineering (specialization in Control Engineering). Okay, it will be better if I answer all of your questions. But please note that my english

Fluctuations and correlations in Heavy Ion collisions
Fluctuations and correlations in Heavy Ion collisions I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Malta starting my final year in a combined degree in Mathematics and Physics. I am more interested in theoretical physics rather than experimental physics, although experiments are there to prove or rather more likely to disprove theories that

Reconstructing the Higgs mass with multivariate techniques (BRTs)
Reconstructing the Higgs mass with multivariate techniques (BRTs) I first heard of the CERN summer student program in the summer of 2011 while working at TRIUMF, the Canadian cyclotron facility. There, I worked in the ATLAS Canada group on a Higgs to ZZ analysis, and heard a lot of amazing stories about CERN from other

Working with the CERN-VM File System
Working with the CERN-VM File System I learned about the summer student program from a friend. I knew that CERN was most known about physics and at that time mainly about the discovery of the Higgs Boson, but I also knew that such a domain and discovery required an extraordinary level of innovative technology and
