Description
This poster provides an overview of the current understanding of matter at the smallest scales and it is meant to be used as a pedagogical resource at high-school level. Teachers and pupils will find information about the Standard Model, the elementary fermions (classified by family and by flavor), the fundamental interactions and the Higgs boson. This poster was created in France by a team of physicists, teachers and outreach experts. More than 1,000 French high schools and higher education institutes (located in metropolitan France, French overseas territories and abroad) have registered to receive free copies of this poster. A pedagogical leaflet describing the poster contents goes along with the French version.
Through the IPPOG (International Particle Physics Outreach Group) network and the help of native speakers, translated versions of the poster with the exact same layout may be provided. These posters can be customized further by adding institute or funding agency logos, plus a QR code pointing to a particular website. Once translated, the high-definition poster can be used free of charge by anyone for educational activities.
This poster is already translated in several languages including English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Slovak and Hebrew – with more versions to come: Arabic, etc. Help for creating a version of the poster in other languages is welcome: just send an e-mail to afficheComposantsElementaires@in2p3.fr.
