Particle Therapy Masterclass at the University of Plymouth

On the 27th of February 2025, the theoretical physics group at the University of Plymouth will run a particle physics masterclass https://physicsmasterclasses.org/ on the theme of Particle Therapy.

The event is for students in Years 11 to 13 studying physics at schools and their teachers.

The Particle Therapy MasterClass (https://indico.cern.ch/event/840212/ ) demonstrates the direct impact of fundamental research on medical applications. This Masterclass Project allows participants to familiarise themselves with the actual operation technique used for cancer treatment employing x-rays, protons or carbon ions like a physical knife directed by software programs.

Information  about registration will be available soon.
