Onboarding for new science communicators / LHCb Masterclass

→ Europe/Zurich
Description

Onboarding for new science communicators

This online onboarding event consists of two parts, which can be joined independently. The first part gives an introdution to  Netzwerk Teilchenwelt for everyone who just joined or eventually wants to do so. It addresses to new science communicators, university contacts and interested students. 

This onboarding helps you to get to know other science communicators and gives you the chance to learn about all aspects of Netzwerk Teilchenwelt: How to become an active part of the network, for which events are you paid and what kind of workshops are offered for students, teachers or science communicators.

We will try to answer all your questions! 

In the second part one particular Masterclass is presented in more detail to give an idea and one example of what you as a science communicator can actively do in Netzwerk Teilchenwelt. Also, to give an example what topics are typically explained to the students in talks or what type of hands-on excercises are possible within the different Masterclasses that exist.

For experienced people this part can be used to exchange materials and ideas on a certain Masterclass. Often several sites in Germany offer the same Masterclass, they share some material, but often each site has its own games, slides or aspects how to best communicate the topic to the students. It can be quite fruiteful to exchange these ideas and share the experience with others. So, whether new or experienced, register, join and enjoy! 

 

Both parts are held via zoom:

        This introductory talk includes a short presentation of Netzwerk Teilchenwelt and how to become an active science communicator. Also, possibilities to extend your science communication skills and links to materials for the differnt masterclasses will be presented. You are highly encouraged to join and ask all your questions!

      • The new LHCb Masterclass: Bringing Hadron Spectroscopy to the Classroom 30m

        The Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment at CERN offers an excellent environment to study various topics in high energy physics. This is also reflected in the LHCb Masterclass giving high school students and enthusiasts an opportunity to dive into the world of modern particle physics through hands-on experience with real LHCb data.

        First developed at the University of Bonn, the new LHCb Masterclass enables participants to independently perform a state-of-the-art physics analysis: the discovery of excited $\Omega_c^0$ resonances through modern hadron spectroscopy, using tools and techniques also employed by LHCb researchers. This is achieved through a combination of new lectures, interactive sessions, and practical exercises. In particular, the new LHCb Quark-Puzzle serves as an instructive tool for students to deduce properties of QCD in an innovative way.

        This talk will discuss the structure and objectives of the new LHCb Masterclass, highlighting novel concepts of knowledge transfer designed to teach a conceptual understanding of particle physics and spark enthusiasm for scientific research.

        Speakers: Lukas Julian Exner (University of Bonn (DE)), Piet Nogga (University of Bonn (DE))
