A trip to the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory


A summary by physics student, Jack Brett 

Picture from the Science and Technology Facilities Council
"Last week around twenty of us who are taking physics A level took a trip to the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Abingdon. We spent the day there and it was very interesting. I learnt about many complex theories concerning particle physics, including the famous Higgs Boson particle. There were many fun activities in which we took part, such as a tour of the laboratory as well as fascinating lectures from people who wok there. It was a very pleasant day out overall and was very useful for learning more about particle physics. I would strongly encourage anyone taking physics for A level to come along."
