GLOBAL COSMIC RAYS PORTAL
Welcome! The IPPOG Global Cosmic group invites educators and students to embark on hands-on sessions using setups suitable to be deployed as tabletop designs. In some of them the participants receive step-by-step instructions to build and assemble cosmic ray detectors, often using scintillator materials and photomultipliers. In others, open source software is prepared to facilitate data…

ATLAS Collaboration
JOINED: 2016 CURRENT STATUS: MEMBER LOCAL RESOURCES WEBSITE:ATLAS resources website ATLAS is a general-purpose particle-physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It is run by an international collaboration with about 5000 members from 180 institutions in 40 countries worldwide. It has been designed to exploit the full discovery potential and the huge…

Cracking the Cosmic Code
A simple presentation to explain the excitement surrounding the discovery of the Higgs boson. Borrows heavily from other presentations but adds lots of animation. Two versions are included: one is in English only; the other is in English and traditional Chinese. Talk was given in Taiwan in October 2013 and is geared towards a Taiwanese…

The fantastic voyage of Nino the neutrino, from the Sun to the Earth
Nino the neutrino travels from the Sun to the Earth with his friends (like a proton and a photon). But not everyone arrives to the INFN Lab’s of Gran Sasso in Italy. And someone even can’t stop there! This funny cartoon shows the properties of the neutrinos. It’s in Italian with English subtitles.

ATLAS Interview – Ludovico Pontecorvo, Muon System Project Leader, ATLAS Experiment on the LHC at CERN
The ATLAS detector is built with several layers designed to study different types of particles. At the outer-most layer lies the Muon spectrometer. ATLAS physicist Steven Goldfarb (U of Michigan, USA) interviews Ludovico Pontecorvo, ATLAS Muon System Project Leader to find out how the Muon Spectrometer measures these very small particles precisely. Topics covered include…

ATLAS Interview – Isabelle Wingerter-Seez, Liquid Argon Calorimeter (LAr) System Project Leader, ATLAS Experiment on the LHC at CERN
ATLAS is one of the largest and most complex science instruments ever built, designed to measure and identify particles coming from particle collisions. One of the most important measurements it makes is that of the energy of the particles. Stephen Goldfarb, ATLAS physicist (U of Michigan, USA) interviews ATLAS colleague Isabelle Wingerter-Seez, the Liquid Argon…
