Step inside the extraordinary world of particle physics at Harwell Campus

HALO is coming to Harwell Campus this November, bringing an immersive world of light, sound and science for you to step inside.

Created by artist duo Semiconductor, the installation transforms real data from particle collisions at CERN into moving visuals that surround you. Around the space, 384 wires turn that same data into sound.

HALO comes to Harwell as part of the Light Project – a year of events celebrating the campus’s 80th anniversary. Harwell has decades of expertise in designing and building particle accelerators and detectors, from instruments used at CERN to the stadium-sized machines on campus: Diamond Light Source and ISIS Neutron and Muon Source.
