Research & Teaching
The SPRACE group comprises researchers from the São Paulo State University (UNESP), and the Federal University of ABC (UFABC).
Our main area of interest is High Energy, Nuclear and Particle Physics and we are involved in the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Collaboration of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Switzerland.
We have a strong commitment to teaching and outreach activities. See for instance some of our lectures in the SPRACE Learning Center, and our outreach project A Chart in Every School. In 2010 an educational game with the elementary particles and their interactions was released. It is now available, free of charge for downloads or for on-line playing, at SPRACE Game.
SPRACE has also provided the translation to Portuguese of the app "The Particles", authored by Frank Close, available free of charge for smartphones at Google Playstore.
