Presentation: Elementary Particles, detectors and accelerators (Carla Marin i Ricardo Vázquez)

The LHCb Collaboration has recently presented new results that could bring us a step closer to understanding the different nature of matter and antimatter at a fundamental level and solve one of the longest-standing cosmological questions: Why is the Universe mainly made of matter?

Thanks to five successful editions, the Beamline for Schools (BL4S) competition that offers highschool students the chance to conduct a real experiment at a real research laboratory has become a very popular science competition that has so far motivated almost 10,000 students to learn about particle physics.
