Presentation Transcript

  1. DELPHI goes to school • An innovative education project using DELPHI data • Real DELPHI events to explore quarks, leptons and gluons • Actually practically the whole Standard Model • Idea and first prototype, 2005-2006 • Hands on CERN (hands-on-cern.physto.se) • Event display: Marc Dönszelmann • Pedagogical improvements during the years • Hands on CERN is still going strong – healthier than ever! (Touch wood!) DELPHI 29 May 2008

  2. European Particle Physics Masterclasses • European science project for school • The European Particle Physics Masterclasses • 2008 (4th year) • ~ 6000 students in 2008 • 92 institutes in 21 countries • In total around 16 000 students during the 4 years • Example of frontline physics goes to school • Involves hundreds of particle physicists every year • A great success! DELPHI 29 May 2008

  3. We made it again! EPS 27-28 March 2008

  4. Hands on CERN awards Scientific American .com One of the best physics site 2004 2005 Webby Award Science category A physicst on Broadway – an unusual event

  5. Information, publications • http://www.physicsmasterclasses.org • Hands on CERN http://hands-on-cern.physto.se • Hands on CERN – a well-used physics education project, Erik Johansson, Physics Education 41 (2006) 250-254 • European Particle Physics Masterclasses make Students Scientists for a Day, Erik Johansson, Michael Kobel et al, Physics Education 42(2007) 636-644 DELPHI 29 May 2008

  6. ASEC ATLAS Student Event Challenge

  7. Summary • DELPHI events are still in use • Introduce the Standard Model with real particle data • Hands on CERN together with European Masterclasses (now International) is a great success • The students appreciate ”the real thing”, ie real experimental data • ATLAS follows in the foot steps of DELPHI DELPHI 29 May 2008
