Ten students from BORG Mittersill in Austria visited CERN and the CLOUD chamber from November 6th to November 9th, 2023.
This excursion to CERN was initiated by Armin Hansel, CLOUD-DOC PI at IONICON, and organised by Leander Stark from University of Innsbruck. This educational event was financially supported by "Sparkling Science 2.0" funds.
Six CLOUD-DOC Fellows showed the CLOUD facility to the students and introduced themselves and the project in the presentations:
- "Why do we grow bananas at CLOUD" (Introduction to CLOUD, Hannah Beckmann)
- "What clouds and radiation have in common?" (Introduction to radiation, Aleksandra Morawiec)
- "Falling in love with clouds" (Introduction to Cloud meteorology, Gabriela Unfer)
- "Key species in our atmosphere" (Zhensen Zheng)
- "New particle formation in the upper troposphere over the Asian monsoon region" (Introduction to modeling, Christos Xenofontos)
- "How to design an experiment: From a basic chemistry experiment to the run plan of CLOUD" (Boxing Yang)
Visiting group participated in the working meeting of the running CLOUD experiment and visited the CLOUD control room.
Leander:” Thanks again to everybody for contributing and the engagement. I believe it was a valuable experience to simplify and present the complex concepts we work with at CLOUD to a non scientific audience.
