Canada, SNOLAB and Switzerland, CERN — •Anna Bakenecker — Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität, Münster, Germany

Canada, Ontario, Sudbury, Lively, Creighton Mine - In the middle of nowhere, 2km under earth in a nickel mine is SNOLAB (Sudbury Neutrino Observatory) located. Detectors for neutrinos and dark matter particles are doing their work in the world's deepest underground laboratory. The laboratory, which is a clean room, can be only entered via a small cage (elevator) and a dirty mine drift. In order to work here as a physicist one has to undergo training for miners, however it is adventurous! I was working on a project on low background measurements as a summer student in 2010.

My second summer student job took me to Geneva, CERN in 2011. How to become a summer student? How does life look like at CERN? What kind of job can an undergraduate student do at CERN? Every year around 150 summer students from all over the world come together at CERN. The multicultural and the work experience made up an unforgettable summer in Switzerland.
