Every year, more than 10,000 high school students in more than 60 countries attend the International Physics Masterclasses to dive into real data from major particle physics experiments and uncover the mysteries of matter’s fundamental constituents. The initiative was launched during the International Year of Physics in 2005 by the International Particle Physics Outreach Group (IPPOG). In Italy, it is supported and coordinated by the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN).
On 3 March, a group of students from the International School of Trieste visited ICTP to attend a Masterclass organised in collaboration with the Trieste section of INFN and focusing on data from the ATLAS experiment at CERN.
