EPPOG Meeting Lisbon May 2007 Highlights from the UK Dr Robin Clegg Science in Society Programme

EPPOG Meeting Lisbon May 2007  UK – around 20 PP research groups  Funding agency – PPARC and CCLRC merged to form STFC – includes Rutherford & Daresbury Labs  Big emphasis on LHC outreach (€1M UK programme)  ‘Ask the Public’, Website, exhibition, first publications, Parliamentary event, large coverage in mass media, documentary films, animations commissioned – much done (credit Ray Mathias, UK LHC Comms Manager)  Other outreach continues:-

EPPOG Meeting Lisbon May has sections on Explore > Find out what particle physics is all about Study > The best web links for students at school or university Technology > Discover how particle physics technology benefits industry Teach > Links and resources for teachers in schools and colleges Research > Information for particle physics researchers News > The latest news, 'picture of the month' and archive.

EPPOG Meeting Lisbon May 2007 UK MASTERCLASSES  17 groups, 13 March to 24 April  24 Classes (16-18s plus teachers)  Many are large, eg Manchester- 180 students; RAL – 500 students from 36 schools over 3 days  some using BaBar data not OPAL/DELPHI  EuroClass? - seek inspiring addition eg Nobel Laureate at CERN; quiz good; technical problems  Dates, time difference issues

EPPOG Meeting Lisbon May 2007 COSMIC RAY DETECTORS FOR SCHOOLS  Different UK groups using different apparatus  Consortium led by Lee Thompson (Sheffield) looking into kit, linked to Eur/US/Can networks  ‘Eurocosmics’ umbrella, meeting autumn 2007  UK open workshop, summer 2007, for interested physicists and teacher  For a network, issue of cost per school (aiming for 3k€ per experiment?)

EPPOG Meeting Lisbon May 2007

 Masterclass 2007 – year olds from 12 schools  ‘CASCADE’ competition: 17-18yr olds prepare and give interactive presentations on particle physics to younger students (27 schools; some prize-winners visited CERN) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS – BIRMINGHAM UNIV

EPPOG Meeting Lisbon May 2007  18-year old students get bursaries to work with particle physics (Alan Walker)  Measures angular distribution of cosmic rays, and rate at the top of a mountain  Wins prizes at national & international science fairs, and has asteriod named after her!  Part of ‘Particle Physics for Scottish Schools’ framework HIGHLIGHT – EDINBURGH UNIV

EPPOG Meeting Lisbon May 2007

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS STFC Small Awards – up to 20k € (40/year) STFC Large Awards – up to 100k € (3/year) – Examples – PP for Scottish Schools; PP and music (strings/violin ) Science Centre Awards – must include 11-16s STFC Science & Society Fellowships (2/year) – Example Dr Maggie Aderin works with African- Caribbean ethnic minority groups around London and is making a film

EPPOG Meeting Lisbon May 2007 EXAMPLES OF ‘SMALL AWARDS’ PROJECTS  LHC Monthly Podcasts, with personal blog and ‘particle of the month’ – Brian Cox. 14k€  Lancaster Particle Physics Package- add LHC module 12k€  Travelling Spark Chamber for Schools – Birmingham, 10k€  Particle Physics at the Welsh Eisteddfod (national cultural event) 14k€ See for detailswww.stfc.ac.uk/PandS/Contents.aspx

EPPOG Meeting Lisbon May 2007 ‘PLUG-IN’ APROACH  Want (particle physics) to be featured in the content and programming of science centres and museums  (13M visitors to UK sites per year)  Hold seminar in partnership with ecsite-uk, the national sector organisation  Show them what is on offer, including links to CERN  Also plug PP in to teacher training & professional development programmes that others run
