“…After two years of measurements he selected around 25 thousand wakes of muons in vertical angles between 20 • and 40 • . These measurements were compared to model calculations [2] (see Figure 1) for the expected stream of muons for different azimuthal angles from 0 • to 360 • assuming that the muon energy losses increase linearly with their energy E µ . The mathematical model of the Chephren pyramid was created for the presented calculations and can be easily adapted to examine the Cheops pyramid.…”

The Cheops and Chephren pyramid have been in Giza for about 3500 years. Their view is enjoyed by many people around the world who ask questions: how and why were the pyramids built? Cheops and Chephren pyramids are very similar on the outside. According to what we know, however, they are diametrically different in their internal structure. In the Chephren pyramid the internal structure was not discovered while the Cheops pyramid has many internal chambers, like: The King's Chamber, the Queen's Chamber. However, according to current knowledge, the Mummies of Pharaoh and his wife were never buried there. So, why were the internal structures of this pyramid built? Were the pyramids supposed to be a visible sign of Pharaoh's power? Are there any undiscovered chambers in both pyramids, which could give us answers to many questions?

“…Beamline for Schools [5][6][7], organized by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), is an interesting example of the use of a large accelerator. This is a competition for high school students from all over the world where they propose a scientific experiment that they want to perform with a particle accelerator.…”

In Japan, research activities by junior and senior high school students show an upward trend. However, there are limited examples of research activities in the field of elementary particles and atoms. This is due to the difficulty associated with procuring research tools such as accelerators or particle detectors. Therefore, we hosted the ‘Accel Kitchen’ in 2018 and 2019 at the Cyclotron and Radioisotope Center (CYRIC) in Tohoku University where junior and senior high school students could participate in ongoing research of particle and atomic physics. At each workshop, 12 junior and senior high school students participated in the beam experiment, including the production of francium atoms (Fr) by the fusion reaction of oxygen and gold, optimizing the transport of the ion beam and identifying the alpha decay nuclei, and laser trapping of Fr for two days. Each group that was involved in the experiment was supported by researchers and university students who acted as mentors. This was the first opportunity for junior and senior high school students to know about the particle beam experiment in Japan.
