Like many this weekend, at ISIS we were excited to see the #Aurora over Oxfordshire skies – look at the amazing images captured by one of our users, Marta Falkowska!

But how does the Aurora link to ISIS science? (1/3)

Congratulations

to Dr Tim Marley on successfully defending his #PhD on the MIGDAL experiment! 🥳

His PhD was jointly supervised by Prof. Pawel Majewski from PPD and Prof. Henrique Araujo from Imperial Physics.

#OnThisDay in 1957, CERN's 1st accelerator, the 600 MeV Synchrocyclotron, was switched on for the 1st time!🎉
Used for CERN's early particle & nuclear physics experiments, it was 15.7m in circumference - about 1700x smaller than the #LargeHadronCollider .

It's #ThrowbackThursday !🎉

Last month over 1000 students attended our Particle Physics Masterclasses, ran with @ISISneutronmuon, Diamond Light Source Research in Schools and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Public Engagement team.

A teacher said 'It brings alive what they see in...the classroom.'📚

This summer, we’re opening our doors to the public for the first time in eight years! 🙌

Expect big science, memorable activities and off-the-charts fun.

This #PhotoOfTheWeek 📸 is of LHCb Experiment, taken in 2008 during preparations for the 3rd run of the Large Hadron Collider CERN.

LHCb investigates why there is so much more matter than antimatter in the #universe by studying b-hadrons, which contain beauty/bottom quarks. 🔍

On this #WorldQuantumDay , we feature CERN theorist John Bell who, 60 years ago, formulated a theorem known as Bell's inequalities. It allowed #quantum entanglement to be tested, which is at the root of promising technologies including quantum computing and cryptography.

Between the 1960s and the mid-1980s, dozens of women worked #AtCERN as “scanners”. Their job consisted in identifying the trajectories of the particles in the images taken inside the bubble chambers.

“Scanning” took place around the clock. The work was done manually, using a
