CERN Summer Students Programme
• Each summer, several physics and engineering students from Croatia participate in the CERN Summer Student Programme
• Usually one financed by CERN and the rest by MZOS– Nearly 40 students in the last 10
years
• We have to select the best from many interested candidates:– > 20 candidates for 3 places in
2013
Some past student projects• New detector testing (pixel, GEM,
…)• LHC Physics analysis• Accelerator control electronics• Nuclear Physics experiments• .and much much more…
Future projects at CERN
• LHC running expected till ~ 2030 through several energy & luminosity upgrades
• Many smaller size projects (e.g. anti-matter gravity)
• Farther future options at the energy frontier:
