    LHC experiments

    Significant parts of the original data and of derived data sets from the LHC experiments are openly available to scientists, educators, students and the general public on the CERN Open Data portal opendata.cern.ch, and on experiment-specific portals.
    The latest data releases and some of their applications will be reviewed, with focus on both research (up to physics papers) and educational...

  5. 247. Recursive engagement: the public as data analysts and outreach creators
    William Kalderon
    05/06/2018, 15:31
    LHC experiments

    Two recent outreach projects are making use of public communities to enhance and build upon the first phases setup by physicists. “HiggsHunters” asked the public to search for displaced vertices in event displays, during which time a pool of trusted members arose in the associated discussion. The data this generated is now being analysed by schoolchildren, through which they can both learn the...
