ATLAS Collaboration

Intro

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 range of physics opportunities that the LHC provides.

ATLAS' scientific exploration uses precision measurement to push the frontiers of knowledge by seeking answers to fundamental questions such as: What are the basic building blocks of matter? What are the fundamental forces of nature? Could there be a greater underlying symmetry to our universe?

ATLAS physicists test the predictions of the Standard Model, which encapsulates our current understanding of what the building blocks of matter are and how they interact. These studies can lead to ground-breaking discoveries, such as that of the Higgs boson, physics beyond the Standard Model and the development of new theories to better describe our universe.

France

Intro

In France, introducing young people and the general public to basic science (nuclear physics, physics of elementary particles, cosmology and astrophysics), the technological advances they require and their related applications (energy, health, etc.), is a key mission for the 25 CNRS/IN2P3 national research laboratories and platforms, and the CEA/IRFU. Our educational and outreach activities are carried out in close collaboration to teaching staff and take many forms: visit to laboratories, “Masterclass” discovery days, teacher-training courses, loans of cosmic-ray detectors for use in classrooms, teaching aids, exhibitions, websites, virtual visits, audiovisual productions, books, etc.

Our goal: to give people a taste for science and physics

Nos activités pédagogiques et de vulgarisation se déroulent en partenariat avec les enseignants et prennent des formes très différentes : visites de laboratoire, journées de découverte « Masterclasses », formations d’enseignants, prêts de détecteurs pédagogiques de muons cosmiques utilisés en classe, supports d’enseignements, expositions, sites internet, visites virtuels, production de contenus audio-visuels, livres, etc.

Notre but : donner aux gens le goût de la science et de la physique

Italy

Intro

The Italian research agency dedicated to the study of the fundamental constituents of matter and the laws that govern them, under the supervision of the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR), is the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN). It conducts theoretical and experimental research in the fields of subnuclear, nuclear and astroparticle physics. Groups from the Universities of Rome, Padua, Turin, and Milan founded the INFN on 8thAugust 1951 to uphold and develop the scientific tradition established during the 1930s by Enrico Fermi and his school, with their theoretical and experimental research in nuclear physics. In the latter half of the 1950s, INFN designed and built the first Italian accelerator, the electron synchrotron developed in Frascati, where its first national laboratory was set up. During the same period, INFN began to participate in research into the construction and use of ever-more powerful accelerators being conducted by CERN, in Geneva. Today INFN employs some  6000 scientists whose work is recognized internationally not only for their contribution to various European laboratories, but also to numerous research centres worldwide. All of INFN’s research activities are undertaken within a framework of international competition, in close collaboration with Italian universities on the basis of solid academic partnerships spanning decades.

As an Institution working on cutting-edge scientific issues, INFN has a significant impact on the progress of knowledge, on technological development and on the economy of the country. Aware of this role, and of the fact that it is the duty of a public body to share its activities and the results that derive from them with society, the Institute is increasingly committed to outreach and public engagement. The Institute plays an important role in the communication of physics at the national and local level, by promoting, designing and implementing initiatives for the dissemination and promotion of scientific culture, both for the general public and for specific targets. In addition to traditional initiatives, it studies and experiments new forms of communication, emphasizing the fundamental relationship between physics and other areas of knowledge. The Institute also contributes a lot to the training of high school students through scholarships, internships, teacher training and school-work projects.

Outreach Activities

In Italia IPPOG è rappresentato dall’Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN). L’INFN è l’ente pubblico nazionale di ricerca, vigilato dal Ministero dell’Istruzione, dell’Università e della Ricerca (MIUR), dedicato allo studio dei costituenti fondamentali della materia e delle leggi che li governano. Svolge attività di ricerca, teorica e sperimentale, nei campi della fisica subnucleare, nucleare e astroparticellare. Le attività di ricerca dell’INFN si svolgono tutte in un ambito di competizione internazionale e in stretta collaborazione con il mondo universitario italiano, sulla base di consolidati e pluridecennali rapporti. La ricerca fondamentale in questi settori richiede l’uso di tecnologie e strumenti di ricerca d’avanguardia, che l’INFN sviluppa sia nei propri laboratori sia in collaborazione con il mondo dell’industria.

L’INFN è stato istituito l’8 agosto 1951 da gruppi delle Università di Roma, Padova, Torino e Milano al fine di proseguire e sviluppare la tradizione scientifica iniziata negli anni ‘30 con le ricerche teoriche e sperimentali di fisica nucleare di Enrico Fermi e della sua scuola. Nella seconda metà degli anni ’50, l’INFN ha progettato e costruito il primo acceleratore italiano, l’elettrosincrotrone realizzato a Frascati dove è nato anche il primo Laboratorio Nazionale dell’Istituto. Nello stesso periodo è iniziata la partecipazione dell’INFN alle attività di ricerca del CERN, il Centro europeo di ricerche nucleari di Ginevra, per la costruzione e l’utilizzo di macchine acceleratrici sempre più potenti. Oggi l’ente conta circa  6000 scienziati il cui contributo è riconosciuto internazionalmente non solo nei vari laboratori europei, ma in numerosi centri di ricerca mondiali.
