Cosmic Piano: analysing the sound of the Universe
The Cosmic Piano is an innovative outreach tool designed to detect muons from air showers produced by cosmic rays colliding with the atmosphere. It consists of scintillator-based modules with avalanche photodiodes (APD) readout, which produce a musical note and a flash of light whenever a muon passes through one of them and triggers its electronics.…

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…
