Electromagnetic Adventures #1: How to steer a proton

In the LHC, there are 1232 components responsible for deflecting the protons, but only 8 responsible for accelerating them. Why is there such a big difference? What do we even mean by deflection and acceleration? This #TeachingTuesday video is the first chapter of our Electromagnetic Adventures miniseries. We’ll talk about electromagnetic fields, how to control a beam of electrically charged particles and how to design a particle accelerator like the LHC.

As part of the education portfolio of #CERNScienceGateway, the #CERNSolvayEducation programme was launched by CERN jointly with @SolvayGroup for the #STEMeducation of high-schoolers. It is designed for teenagers who want to go beyond high-school physics and get an introduction to CERN #physics and #technology. In each video, you can test your understanding by answering quiz questions. If you are at least 16 years old, you can enrol for free in the online CERN-Solvay Education Programme towards obtaining a digital certificate, which will allow you to apply for a CERN-Solvay residential student camp.
