The web sites below are for you to use to get some background on high energy physics and on our work at the HU Center for Particle Physics. Please take notes and, most important, write down your questions.

Perplexed? Try this -- it might help! HEP Glossary (prepared by the Boston University ATLAS Group)

The Particle Adventure
Explore the Standard Model of particle physics from both conceptual and experimental points of view. The Particle Adventure is arguably the single best Website for learning about the ideas of particle physics.

Bedtime Primer on Particle Physics
The "Bedtime Primer on Particle Physics" is a shorter, more whimsical overview of the ideas of HEP. It also has plenty of links to lead you to more information.

CERN in 2 Minutes
Learn about CERN, the European Laboratory for Nuclear Reseach -- fast.

Pictures from CERN
QuarkNet staff teachers took these pictures of the CERN facilities during their recent visit.

Tour of Fermilab
Fermilab, located in Batavia, Illinois, is the site of the Tevatron, currently the most powerful accelerator in the world.

ATLAS at CERN
ATLAS stands, improbably, for A ToroidaLHC ApparatuS. It will be one of the two main colliding proton beam detectors in the LHC.

Hampton University in ATLAS
This is a brief description of what we do!
