Abstract
In a previous paper1 the BL4S science competition has been presented from the technical point of view. This paper focuses on the organizational aspects of the period that the winning teams spent at DESY to perform their experiments. Together with a description of the event, this paper provides the unique point of view of the participants.
Highlights
Beamline for Schools (BL4S) is a worldwide science competition
This paper focuses on the organizational aspects of the period that the winning teams spent at DESY to perform their experiments
In order to continue the competition during the period from 2019 to 2021, when all accelerators at CERN have been turned off for maintenance and upgrade, CERN collaborated with the German accelerator laboratory DESY in Hamburg
Summary
Teams of high school students are invited to propose an experiment that can be performed within the constraints of a given beam line and pool of instruments.[1] Starting from 2014, for the first five years, the BL4S competition was organized and hosted by CERN, Switzerland. The organization of the student experiments at CERN in 2014–2018 has worked in a very similar way. At the end of each chapter, the members of the winning teams describe their experiences. These are a collection of individual contributions of students from different years. They have been minimally edited in order to preserve the opinions of the students
