[ICTP Public Information Office]

Live experiments with spectacular and unexpected reactions will be the 
focus of the first performance in Italy of the internationally renowned 
Bonn Physics Show, to be held Friday, 27 March, at 11:00 in the 
auditorium of the old SISSA Building.

The event, organized by ICTP, in collaboration with SISSA and Imaginario 
Scientifico, will be held in English and is aimed at people of all ages.

The famous Higgs boson will be the protagonist of the special 
performance by a group of physics students from the University of Bonn. 
The show's two main characters will accompany viewers on an adventure 
that will lead them into the fascinating world of particle physics, the 
fundamental building blocks of nature. Along the way, meet luminaries 
like Rutherford, the discoverer of the nucleus, Lawrence, the inventor 
of the modern accelerator, and physicists working at CERN in the LHC tunnel.

WHEN: Friday 27 March, 11:00 (duration: 95 minutes)
WHERE: Old SISSA Building auditorium, via Beirut 4

Entrance is free, and all are invited!

The Bonn Physics Show is the brainchild of Herbert Dreiner, theoretical 
physicist, and Michael Kortmann. It aims to present physics in an easily 
understandable and entertaining way to an audience of all ages. For 
almost fifteen years the shows have been carried out with great success 
in Germany and other European locations, renewing every year with the 
turnover of students and with the contribution of new ideas.
