240. The Extreme Energy Events Project : Science in the Schools

Despina Hatzifotiadou (Universita e INFN, Bologna (IT))

7/7/18, 3:00 PM

Oral presentation

The Extreme Energy Events (EEE) project is a cosmic ray physics experiment and at the same time an excellent outreach project. Its scientific goal is the study of extended air showers from high energy cosmic rays and extreme energy events by detecting the muon component of the shower. To this aim, a network of muon telescopes has been installed in high schools distributed all over Italy. The...

245. The HiSPARC Experiment

Kasper van Dam (Nikhef)

7/7/18, 3:20 PM

Oral presentation

The HiSPARC experiment carries out cosmic ray research with the help of high school students. Universities, scientific institutes and predominantly high schools collaborate by hosting their own cosmic ray detection station. The approximately 140 stations throughout the Netherlands, United Kingdom and Denmark form a very large air shower detector array which enables new scientific questions to...

250. Hellenic Lyceum Cosmic Observatories Network (HELYCON): a status report

Dr Antonios Leisos (Hellenic Open University)

7/7/18, 3:40 PM

Oral presentation

The Hellenic Lyceum Cosmic Observatories Network (HELYCON) aims for the development of a network of Extensive Air Shower Detector Stations, distributed in Western Greece. In 2014 three pilot HELYCON stations were installed and still in operation at the Hellenic Open University (HOU) campus in Patra. Each station comprises 3 scintillator (1 sq. meter each) detectors and one or more...

Sustaining interest and engagement in particle physics. How we do it at CERN

290. Outreach as a particle physics blogger in China

Zhi-zhong Xing (Chinese Academy of Sciences)

7/7/18, 5:00 PM

Oral presentation

I was the first Chinese particle physicist writing the webblog articles to share news, knowledge, thinking and stories about high-energy physics and physicists with the public, first in Fermilab's Quantum Diaries (2005), and later in Chinese ScienceNet (since 2007).In this talk I shall briefly describe my happiness, experience and lessons in this regard, and explain why it is not easy to push...

308. Public Engagement with Particle Physics at the University of Birmingham, UK

Francesco Gonnella (University of Birmingham (GB))

7/7/18, 5:30 PM

Oral presentation

The Particle group at the University of Birmingham has a long history of a wide programme of engagement,
spanning from large events for the general public, to several projects for primary and secondary schools and teachers.
This talk will concentrate on our activities related to Science in connection with Art & Craft, both for Primary and Secondary Schools.
In particular, we will present our...

218. Cosmic Ray Extremely Distributed Observatory: status and perspectives

Dariusz Gora

7/7/18, 6:00 PM

Poster Presentation

The Cosmic-Ray Extremely Distributed Observatory (CREDO) is a project dedicated to global analysis of extremely extended cosmic-ray phenomena, so-called cosmic ray ensembles (CRE), beyond the capabilities of existing detectors and observatories. Up to date cosmic-ray research has been focused on detecting single air showers, while the search for ensembles of cosmic rays, which can even cover a...
