On February 11 2016, the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration announced the observation of gravitational waves from a binary black hole merger. The transient signal GW150914 had been recorded five months earlier by the two Advanced LIGO detectors which had just started their first observation run, after a few years of upgrade. Parallel to the data analysis which led to the...

A cornerstone of good scientific practice is to make results available to the public. This is especially true for experiments at the LHC at CERN where public investment in fundamental research is significant and long-standing. As part of their commitment to open access and public engagement the ATLAS and CMS collaborations have made several large datasets available to the public.
There are...

In recent times the realisation that children make decisions and choices about subjects they like during their primary school years became widely understood. For this reason academic establishments focus many of their outreach activities towards the younger ages. During the last academic year we designed and trialled a particle physics workshop for primary schools. The workshop allows young...
