See the short interview with Jasper Kirkby and Markku Kulmala about the CLOUD experiment.
CLOUD experiment begins operation
The CLOUD experimental chamber. CERN is home to lots of experiments and collaborations. CLOUD is an experiment that uses a chamber to study the possible link between cosmic rays and cloud formation. The experiment is based at the Proton Synchrotron; this is the first time a high-energy physics accelerator has been used in the study of atmospheric and climate science. CLOUD's results could greatly modify our understanding of our planet's climate. |
