Discovery Mondays - 'Globe-trotting detectors'

From Chicago to Athens via Liverpool, the detector components for the LHC experiments travel high and low before converging on Geneva for their final assembly at CERN. Thousands of scientists from 85 countries across the world are participating in the ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb experiments, each making their own contribution to the overall project, whether in the production of the sub-detectors, the preparation of the physics or the analysis of the data.

At this Discovery Monday you will witness the collaborations' whistle-stop world tour and see some of the extraordinary means of transport that convey the detector parts all the way to CERN's doorstep.

All aboard for this remarkable trip around the world in ninety minutes!

The event will be conducted in French.
