Future Collider Experiment: an educational tool for graduate students
The Future Collider Experiment (FCE) app is a platform-agnostic analysis tool. It provides a sneak peek into the particle physics processes that will become available at the Future Circular Collider (FCC) in a user-friendly environment. A typical workshop can take the format of two research groups (IDEA and CLD), studying FCC-ee collisions at the four…

Tactile quark puzzle
The Spherical Quark-Puzzle provides a 3D visualisation of the quark model of hadrons and the basic conditions under which quarks form hadrons (e.g. neutrons or protons), as dictated by quantum chromodynamics. As a representation of the SU(3) symmetry, the predisposed symmetry of a platonic solid, the (spherical) dodecahedron is used to build all hadrons from…

Exographer, a videogame based on particle physics
Exographer is an exploration game based on particle physics. In Exographer, players use gluonic boots or a photon sphere to overcome obstacles while discovering, one by one, all the elementary particles of the Standard Model. The levels are inspired by real laboratories (giant colliders and detectors, neutrino underground facilities, cosmic ray observatories…). A lost civilization…
