At the end of each day, just like in a real international research collaboration, the Masterclass participants discuss, connected by videoconference with the other countries, the results emerging from the exercises.<\/p>\n<div>In addition to data from CERN experiments, some of this year&#8217;s Masterclasses are dedicated to the BELLEII experiment at the KEK laboratory in Tsukuba, Japan.&nbsp;Since last year, a number of Italian locations have also been participating, in collaboration with CNAO \u2013 National Centre for Oncology Hadrontherapy,&nbsp;in the&nbsp;Masterclasses&nbsp;on&nbsp;Particle&nbsp;Therapy, in order to introduce students to the medical applications of particle physics.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The initiative, now in its 18th edition, is part of the international Masterclasses organised by IPPOG (International Particle Physics Outreach Group).
