CERN Accelerating science

ABOUT ACADEMIC TRAINING
The CERN Academic Training lectures take place from September to June and provide CERN members - any contract type - with opportunities to deepen and broaden their academic knowledge. The lectures cover physics and technology research results, as well as leading-edge news from other disciplines. Past lectures often present a great historical value. The lectures are open to all members of CERN personnel (staff, fellows, associates, students, users, project associates and apprentices) free of charge.
The Library has a collection of all the handouts since the start of the program in 1961. Most lectures from 1990 onwards have also been recorded. The complete catalogue of the Academic Training Programme lectures is archived since 1968. Since 2018 we can upload selected lectures in a dedicated YouTube playlist.

Physics Beyond Colliders at CERN / Jaekel, Jörg (speaker) (University of Heidelberg)
The CERN Physics Beyond Colliders (PBC) study group was created in 2016 to explore the CERN and European potential for experiments complementary to those investigating the high-energy frontier at present and future large colliders. It currently supports proponents and CERN scientific committees in the preparation and subsequent review of such projects.The first lecture will introduce the field with a comprehensive experimental overview of the PBC landscape, with emphasis on projects proposed to be located at CERN.

CERN Academic Training on hadron therapy - New treatment options at CNAO: the Boron Neutron Capture Therapy / Necchi, Monica (speaker)
AbstractBoron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a technique that aims at selectively treating tumour cells while sparing healthy tissue, by concentrating a boron compound in the tumour mass and then exposing the tumour to thermal neutrons: . The technique was first proposed soon after the discovery of the neutron and the observation that boron easily captures low-energy neutrons [...]
