The μΝet project aims to deploy and operate an extensive school network of educational Cosmic Ray telescopes throughout the Peloponnese region. As part of the μNet project, an extended educational program will be conducted, with educational activities focusing on the design, construction, testing, and operation of μCosmics detectors (microCosmics) as well as the remote operation of cosmic ray...
It is well-known that in certain contexts, there are striking analogies between light rays in geometrical optics and electrostatic field lines. For example, in the method of images, the image charge distribution plays the role of the virtual image in a mirror. It is also known that like optical refraction, the electrostatic field lines change direction as they are incident on a medium of...
The ATLAS Collaboration consists of more than 5000 members, from over 100 different countries. Regional, age and gender demographics of the collaboration are presented, including the time evolution over the lifetime of the experiment. In particular, the relative fraction of women is discussed, including their share of contributions, recognition and positions of responsibility, including...
We propose the experience “PER (Particle Escape Room) me si va ne la fisica recente”, designed by the outreach group “Physics4Teenagers” working at the Physics Department of the University of Pavia. Thanks to the combination of entertainment and learning goals, the educational escape room format has acquired great visibility in the last decades. The activity is a journey through the history of...
