Adventures at low temperatures #2: It is just a phase
Explore the transitions between different phases of matter, and how they can help us draw heat away from the LHC.
-
Adventures at low temperatures #1: Keeping it cool
Investigate why the LHC has to be kept at a temperature colder than outer space, and how it manages to stay at such a cold temperature.
