Room 72-1-020
Present: Emma Sanders, Despina Hatzifotiadou, Kathryn Grim, Achintya Rao, Steven Goldfarb, Sophie Tesauri, Marzena Lapka, Lisa Mc Carthy, Rolf Landua, Claudia Marcelloni, Ceri Perkins, Bolek Pietrzyk, Mirko Pojer, Dan Noyes, Sandrine Saison Marsollier, Corinne Pralavorio, Paola Catapano, Michael Barnett, Erik Johansson, Emmanuelle Carrier, Amy Dusto
1. CERN Web progress (Dan Noyes)
- Drupal is now live and training is available. Open issues include regulation- for example deciding how to deal with inactive sites. This will be covered in the communication plan.
- Work is underway for a new CERN website based on Drupal. The first areas for revamp will be public/ bulletin/ user/ & press/ An extensive consultation of both internal and external user communities of existing public and internal websites was used as the basis for the new plans. The survey of public users lasted 3 weeks and got over 3000 replies. This period included the neutrino news breaking, so the results allow comparison of how the website is used during normal periods with use during exceptional news periods.
You are encouraged to follow progress on Dan’s blog: cern.ch/change
- Rolf Heuer will be asking Council for their agreement to start using the name “European Organization for Particle Physics”
- IT is working on improving search facilities
- The domain name .cern will be applied for. This is also an opportunity to examine in depth the remaining structural questions for sub sites. – including the way CERN will point to the experiments.
2. News from the Press office inc follow up to neutrino news (Corinne Pralavorio)
- The neutrino news stimulated an interesting coverage of the scientific process. The press office hopes to improve on reaction speed next time. Due to changes in the media monitoring service, press cuttings are not yet available.
- A new ICFA brochure is available (intended for politicians mainly)
- A maths exhibition partly curated by David Lynch opens on the 21st Oct at the Fondation Cartier. There will be ATLAS events on show.
- What’s new @ CERN is on CDS - You are encouraged to send your comments to Corinne during this period of 3 pilot episodes.
- Nuit des chercheurs – Everything went well, and DG-CO thanks every-one for their contributions. 190 students attended and they have been sent a short evaluation to complete. A separate meeting will be scheduled for the debrief.
3. Local education projects (Sandrine Saison Marsollier)
Sandrine has joined DG-CO for a year to work on local education projects. She requests help for the organization of 2 programmes in particular – dans la peau d’un chercheur (for 9-12 yr olds) visits in March and April 2012, and scientific workshops for schools in Prevessin, Peron and Bellegarde.
This is also an opportunity to improve access of local schools to some of our education material that may be unknown to them – event analysis, video conference link-ups…
4. New animation of proton collisions at the quark-gluon level (Erik Johansson)
Animations can be seen at www.physto.se/~kej/animations
5. Physicist interviews for the discovery packages (Paola Catapano)
Please could the experiments send Paola suggestions of interviewees for videos to accompany the press office background information on potential LHC discoveries.
http://press.web.cern.ch/press/background/index.html
Kathryn and Paola will email log members the types of questions they propose asking.
There should be careful labeling on the website that the videos are PRE-discovery.
Examples of the types of contributions needed can be seen on the archived page http://www.cern.ch/LHC2008/nobel/index.html
6. Round the table news from the CCC and the experiments
IPPOG
–Lisa has posted overview and doodle link to sign up for meeting students on an arts-science Frankenstein project on the LOG meeting’s indico site.
ATLAS
– Joao will present Camelia at the next LOG meeting
- The French version of the pop-up book will be launched on the 25th October at the CNRS Entrée en Matiere exhibition at the Trocadero in Paris.
- there will also be 2 CERN/ ATLAS contributions at the London Science Festival end October.
CMS
- has a new Drupal website up and running: http://cms.web.cern.ch/
- has finished the masterclass video:
https://cms-docdb.cern.ch/cgi-bin/PublicEPPOGDocDB/ShowDocument?docid=259
- continues behind the scenes photos and filming of the work of collaboration members. The first photos will be uploaded to CDS this Friday, to enthusiasm from the press office.
- works on the visit itinerary at point 5. Phase 1 consists of improving existing infrastructure in the near future. More on this in the December LOG.
- there is a new graffiti mural at point 5 : http://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/1385905?ln=en
LHCb
- Detector upgrade discussions are underway which will necessitate a new computer room at point 8, and also a new control room. The experiment is considering plans for incorporating a new visitor centre linked to the control room. The goal is to carry out work during the 2013 shutdown.
- The LHCb film (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsmBMuTFdkA) has been shortlisted at a Japanese film festival (http://www.nhk.or.jp/jp-prize/english/what_is/index.html)
Results announced on 27th October. CERN should tweet this -> action DG-CO
ALICE
- a new bache showing a full size image of the detector has been installed at point 2.
CCC
- working hard to get to 5 fb-1…. (gifts of tiramisu are most welcome)
- presented the LHC puzzle game devised for researchers’ night, with components of the LHC printed onto magnetic paper, allowing students to design the LHC…
US-LHC
- requests videos of public talks on LHC science
AOB
Steve Goldfarb reported on interest in outreach at the iCATPP meeting in Como, and interest in introducing outreach presentations in other physics conferences.
