From today, CERN will be taking bookings for visits of its
underground facilities during the Open Days. From 9 a.m. to
8 p.m. on 28 and 29 September, members of the public will
have a rare opportunity to visit one of CERN's underground
sites. Two points of the Large Hadron Collider, CERN’s
flagship accelerator, will be open to visitors, as will its
four main experiments and the SPS, another underground
accelerator.

underground visits is limited, access to the underground
facilities will be by reservation only, and tickets must be
obtained from the CERN Open Days website. For safety
reasons, children

style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"> to the underground

tickets, which will be valid for a specific day and
timeslot. The tickets, which are free of charge, will be
made available on the site progressively over a four-week
period.

style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">CERN operates
state-of-the-art scientific instrumentation, particle
accelerators and detectors, in the pursuit of fundamental
knowledge about matter and the Universe. Its largest
accelerator, the LHC, is an underground ring measuring 27
kilometres in circumference that smashes tiny particles into
each other. Their collisions are analysed by several
detectors, including in particular four huge machines
measuring tens of metres in height and length, packed with
millions of sensors. The LHC is fed by a chain of
accelerators, the last of which is the Super Proton
Synchrotron (SPS), housed in an underground tunnel measuring
7 kilometres in circumference.

underground facilities, the public will be able to discover
35 other exciting sites where CERN’s activities increase our
knowledge, such as laboratories, the Computer Centre,
accelerators and experiments accessible on the surface and
technical facilities. Visitors will have the chance to meet
scientists, engineers and technicians, who will explain the
discoveries and technologies of the world's largest particle
physics laboratory. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

number of visitors expected, certain roads will be closed to
traffic. No parking for the general public will be available
on the CERN sites, so visitors are strongly recommended to
use public transport and the shuttle-bus service provided
for the event. These shuttle buses, for which there will be
no charge, will make regular trips between the external car
parks and the CERN visit sites. Each visitor will be
entitled to a free ticket for one return trip to the Open
Days, valid on all public transport within the Unireso Tout
Genève zone, courtesy of our partner for the event
<i>Transport Publics Genevois</i> (Geneva’s public transport
system).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
