​​​	​Our annual masterclasses are primarily intended for those students taking modules that include particle physics at '​A' or 'AS' level but are also open to any physics student or teacher interested in studying or teaching the subject. The Masterclasses will consist of a mixture of talks given by researchers in the Particle Physics Department, hands-on practical sessions and visits to experimental facilities
	​​ ​​Resources to help understand some of the basics of particle physics and for those with some background
​​	​ Resources to learn more about what it's like to work in the   Particle Physics Department at STFC​​​
​ ​	​Videos about placements, events, and experiments in the ​​Particle Physics Department​

   CODING RESOURCES:

​	​ Information about the micro:bit, a pocket-sized computer, and workshop training to get primary school introduced to coding in a fun and engaging way. ​​

STAFF INTERVIEWS:

​Dr. BEN SMART, who is currently working on the development of data acquisition for the ATLAS pixel detector and the preparation of the RAL facility for pixel module loading and testing.​​​​

Prof BILL MURRAY, ​​ a joint academic with Warwick University who is currently engaging with future collider projects. He was also the ATLAS Higgs Convener in the run-up to Higgs discovery 2012 and then Physics Coordinator. 

​Dr. EMMANUEL OLAIYA, an experimental particle physicist who works mainly on beyond the Standard Model physics such as Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM), Z prime bosons and Quantum Black Holes. He is also an expert in computing and software. 

​

Dr. JENS DOPKE, a Senior Detector Scientist working on assembly of, electronics for and data acquistion from, large Particle Physics experiments. Currently mostly involved in ATLAS, he also invests time into design and test of future detector systems, as well as reaching out towards arts and humanities through X-ray based imaging projects with the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
