2. H EUREKA Is one of the most widely used physics textbooks in Sweden for 16-18 year olds (high school/gymnasium). We are two university professors contributing with: Particle Physics Astroparticle Physics A glimpse of Special Relativity and Quantum Mechanics ATLAS images The Higgs particle and other collision events The LHC The ATLAS detector 2 Erik JohanssonStockholm University

5. F UTURE E DITIONS Visualisation of the Standard Model particles by showing the production and decay of a top/antitop pair – a rather complicated sequence Practically all Standard Model particles are present http://www.atlas.ch/multimedia/#the-top- quark 5 Erik Johansson Stockholm University

6. C ONCLUSIONS The great thing with textbooks is that they are read by many students year after year The animations and films of ATLAS and LHC are well suited for digital textbooks Digital textbooks make physics at school more interesting Heureka is now crossing Öresund, i e entering Denmark 6 Erik JohanssonStockholm University
