Our trip to CERN (2)

After the tour of the CMS Facility, we had lunch. The food was absolutely delicious! It was interesting to see how many people there were working at CERN, and the food hall was completely packed with other students like ourselves as well as workers and staff.

After Lunch, we met with Professor Roger Jones, who escorted the group to his group's offices. We then had a question and answer session with another School from Accrington and learned much about Particle Physics - I personally loved hearing about the theoretical sub-atomic particle known as the "Tachyon" of which I learned this particle is theoretically faster than light. 

It was really nice to see Professor Roger Jones again, especially in another country, and he allowed us to see the ATLAS Control Centre, of which he was present when they discovered the Higgs Boson. 

It was such a great day, and we all enjoyed the great opportunity! Not every day can you say that you have been to CERN!
