1 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 Broader Impacts in Particle Physics A Responsibility and an Opportunity R. Ruchti National Science Foundation and University of Notre Dame

2 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 Motivations Responsibilities –Enriching the broader community through: Research Education Engagement with private sector Engagement of the public Opportunities –Partnerships –Adding Value

3 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 The Funding Agencies are involved Both NSF and DOE Universities and Labs play important roles. DOE: Workforce Development NSF: Special emphasis: –Criterion 1: Intellectual Merit –Criterion 2: Broader Impacts –Apply to NSF proposals generally –Particularly for NSF Career Awards

4 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 Broader Impacts Education –Formal –Informal Of the Research –With the Private Sector –New Technologies –Spinoffs Across the Research Spectrum –Cyberinfrastructure –International Outreach –Informing our own and allied communities –Public Relations

5 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 Education Formal –K12 –Undergraduate –Graduate –Post Graduate –Continuing Informal –Museums and Science Centers –Public Forums –Media

6 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 Partnerships – Formal Education Experimental Reality –LHC: 15 yrs from inception to data taking –25-yr old grad student now was a 10-yr old then. –Need to work back in the education process to reach for students – future scientists. Focus on reaching teachers and including them as partners in the scientific process. Take an active interest in student preparation. Provide teacher and student research opportunities.

7 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 Responses to the Educational Challenge Some Examples Local –Your Place Community –CHEPREO Regional –MARIACHI State –CROP National –QuarkNet –I2U2 International –NALTA –CHEPREO –COSM

8 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 Regional - Mariachi Extreme Energy Cosmic Rays are nuclei that have been accelerated to kinetic energies in excess of 10 20 eV. Where do they come from? How are they produced? Are they survivors of the early universe? Are they remnants of supernovas? MARIACHI, a unique collaboration between scientists, physics teachers and students, is developing an innovative technique to detect and study them.

9 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 Statewide Scale - CROP

10 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 National – QuarkNet Joint NSF/DOE Support

11 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 International Scale - NALTA

12 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 International Scale - CHEPREO

13 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 Outcomes Community building –There is a large community of physics teachers and students actively engaged and eager for further opportunities for research and/or scientific enrichment. Opportunity to provide significant added value by new groups –Experimental and theoretical. Mentoring relationships –Build upon what we know works.

14 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 Informal Education Education and outreach through major experiments. –ATLAS and CMS are making major efforts –LHC awareness Museum exhibits involving active research topics –Bringing forefront science to museum settings –Partnerships with research groups and universities –iLabs (Interactions in Understanding the Universe, I2U2)

15 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 Undergraduate Education REU: Research Experiences for Undergraduates –Within the US –CERN (U Michigan Program) –Have an important impact on student decisions to attend graduate school EIR: Education and Interdisciplinary Research RUI: Research at Undergraduate Institutions

16 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 Graduate Education Traditional research activities. PIRE – Partnerships in International Research and Education IPSE – Internships in Public Science Education GK12 – Graduate teaching fellowships in K12 Education

17 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 Partnerships Example Cyberinfrastructure Data/Analysis Challenges –Huge data rates –Massive data sets –World-wide distribution –Distributed analyses Development of new cyberinfrastructure Collaboration with computer scientists and engineers Collaboration with the private sector

18 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 Responses High bandwidth connectivity –Locally, Nationally, Internationally Computing Models –Tiered Methodologies Tier 2C to attract broader user community Grid computing –Globally shared resources –Open Science Grid Impacts and connectivity to other research fields

32 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 Toward Developing a Vision

33 R. Ruchti DPF2006 30 October 2006 Summary Broader Impacts needs and deserves our attention at every level. Labs and Universities are key players in these activities. Both DOE and NSF are providing support commensurate with their agency objectives. We need to continue to do more… –As we further develop a vision for our field –E&O needs to figure into our planning
