Geneva Event, The
- Synopsis
- The story of a search for something so rare that many doubted its existence - the sub-atomic particle ‘W’. Physicists are striving to produce a unifying framework for the forces of nature. Their theories predicted that a new sub-atomic particle must exist; the problem was to prove it. The result was a three-year experiment with over 100 top research physicists from all over Europe and millions of pounds’ worth of equipment to detect the particle. Looks behind the scenes at CERN (European Centre for Nuclear Research) in Geneva and follows the frustrations and successes of the experiment.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
