We had the visit of around 80 students and 5 professors from IES Sabadell to PIC installations. Their academic field based in Informatics ("Cicles formatius de grau mig/superior") made the tour to be exciting and full of questions. The visit, conducted by Dr. Josep Flix, started with two talks held in the IFAE Seminar Room (next to PIC). The first talk was entitled "The LHC and its 4 experiments: a data stream to understand the Big Bang" and was presented by Dra. Elisa Lanciotti, who is the LHCb contact at PIC. The students placed very interesting questions related to Physics and the techonology used on the LHC, during and after the talk. The level of curiosity was amazing! Maybe, in part related to the preparation sessions prior the visit the professors made and the comprenhesive Elisa's talk. Well after, Dr. Josep Flix presented "The use of Grid Computing by the LHC".After the talks we made a visit to PIC installations, so they could see how a Computing Center is built and managed.
So far, the morning was extremely fruiful. From PIC we want to thank the Professors (Gregorio, Fernando, Lino, Alberto, Alexandra) for their dedication and motivation they offer to their students.</p>
