LHC@home

Fulfilling a life-long dream in a few weeks! We are traveling to Switzerland in early September, and plan to visit CERN on one of the days we are there. Hoping to get in one of the tours, though the website said only about 10% of the people who visit are able to go on a tour. Is there mention of the @home projects in the Gateway center? Would love to be able to point it out to everyone and say, "I am a part of that!"

For those outside of CERN, have any of you visited and toured CERN? For anyone inside, do you have any suggestions on what we have to see? I grew up next to FermiLab outside Chicago, and have wanted to see CERN since I was a kid. Cannot wait!

You may have checked this already but just in case https://visit.cern/tours-individuals

I remember somebody here has got on the tour before but forget who it was.

Did you get to visit FermiLab?...I went to Batavia a few decades ago

Well if you get on the tour just show my stats here and say you did all of that work

I am a long way away from Geneva and over the hill......and could never talk the wife into making the trip
( I am NW of the Linear Collider at Hanford WA}

Have a fun trip and that is a vacation from way over here for sure
