Performing a real subatomic experiment (EX²) : Thanks to the Excellence Initiative of the University of Strasbourg, various advanced experimental platforms allow students to perform real subatomic experiment on a small scale, under the supervision of a research group at IPHC. These platforms feature state-of-the-art detectors used for research. For a list, consult the EX² site
Within 3 to 4 weeks, each student group should elaborate and conduct their experiment, analyse the data and obtain the measurement a physical observable. In addition, a partial or complete simulation of the experiment might be implemented to allow a robust data interpretation. Results are then discussed with the research group and summarized in the form of a short scientific paper followed by a defense.
