It provides the opportunity to relate A-level physics to fundamental research, and provides valuable access to practical experience and enthusiastic practitioners. Equipped with hints of what to look for, and using the type of interactive graphical display program that particle physicists use, students will have the task of recognising the W pairs amongst the quarks, leptons and Z bosons. We don't know the answer to that - but we hope that a new experiment called BaBar, starting on May 1st at SLAC, will give some answers. The lecturer will attempt to address these and other questions. This last talk is given as part of the Institute of Physics Congress and is in Peel Hall, Salford University.
