Particle physics at School

The Standard Model at school

• Use frontline particle physics experiments to introduce the Standard Model– Quarks and leptons– The dynamics of particle collisions– The hunt for new physics processes

• Hands-on-cern.physto.se (or www. hands-on-cern.physto.se)

Award 2004

Hands on CERN (hands-on-cern.physto.se) has been selected a WINNER

of the Scientific American Science and Technology Web Awards 2004

Hands on CERN has been selected WINNER

of the Webby Awards 2005 in the Science category

The strong coupling constant

David Gross David Politzer Frank Wilczek

• Colliding protons

• Collision energy: 14 TeV

• A world collaboration with 1800 scientists including 300-400 students

• Datataking 2007

ATLAS info

• Video

• Animations

• How to put a particle detector together in minutes

• What are all the detectors good for?

• Atlas.ch

Stockholm House of ScienceA meeting place with several laboratories

for teachers and students

Conclusions

• Particle physics experiments like DELPHI and ATLAS can make physics at school more exciting

• Education material exists– Hands-on-cern.physto.se

• Information material exists:– Atlas.ch– CERN, DESY, Fermilab, SLAC….
