Intro
Brazil is represented in IPPOG by the National Network of High Energy Physics (Rede Nacional de Física de Altas Energias, RENAFAE, in Portuguese), officially created by the Brazilian Ministry of Science and Technology to coordinate the national effort in High Energy Physics. The country has a long tradition in High Energy Physics and its outreach. The event Masterclasses Hands On Particle Physics is applied in the country since 2008 and nowadays more than a 1000 students are reached every year in different institutions spread around the country. By the time Brazil was joining IPPOG, a Working Group was created congregating Particle Physicists and Science Education Experts from different Brazilian institutions around the country to promote particle physics outreach activities and to represent the country in IPPOG. Several initiatives are been developed by this group as the organization of regular meetings to exchange ideas and start new collaborations among the participants. For instance, a project to introduce cosmic ray detectors in elementary schools was born from this group. Given the size and demands of the country, uncountable initiatives and activities can still be created to promote particle physics and scientific knowledge in Brazil.

Várias iniciativas são desenvolvidas por este grupo como a organização de reuniões regulares para troca de ideias e para iniciar novas colaborações entre os participantes. Por exemplo, um projeto para introduzir detectores de raios cósmicos nas escolas primárias nasceu deste grupo. Dadas as dimensões e as demandas do país, inúmeras iniciativas e atividades ainda podem ser criadas para promover a física de partículas e o conhecimento científico no Brasil.

Australia

Intro
Australia has several active particle physics groups (University of Adelaide, University of Melbourne, Monash University, University of Queensland, University of New South Wales and University of Sydney).
Members of these groups contribute to several experiments such as ATLAS, Belle/Belle II, COMET, Ice Cube, LHCb along with various direct dark matter searches, and are working towards the realisation of future facilities (CEPC, EIC, FCC, ILC). There is also a vibrant theory community with members throughout the country providing input to their experimental colleagues and working on theoretical understandings and expansions of the Standard Model.

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.

Germany

Intro
Germany has a very large community in basic research on particle physics, nuclear physics and astrophysics, with more than 2000 people attending the regular common national conferences. The diversity of the physics program in these fields is also reflected in the scales of the involved experiments and collaborations ranging from table top nuclear decay experiments to large scale accelerator facilities, such as CERN/LHC and GSI/FAIR. The research in Germany rests on three pillars of activity in Universities, Max-Planck-Institutes and the Helmholtz Centres.
It is a key mission to explain the aspects of these fundamental research efforts to the general public and motivate young people with various background to contribute to the answers on the basic question of the origin of matter and the universe, and to advance technology and applications in related areas, such as medicine and the energy sector.
In Germany, a nation wide network (Netzwerk Teilchenwelt) since 2010 connects a growing number of research institutes and facilities to promote particle, astroparticle and nuclear physics.
Within the framework of Netzwerk Teilchenwelt, scientists are bringing particle physics into the classroom. Young researchers, mostly PhD students from the participating universities and research institutes, hold events for high school students, such as Masterclasses with data from various experiments or hands-on detector experiments.
Each year, around 3500 pupils take part in the multi-stage program, including 70 high school students being invited to CERN for workshops or to pursue their own research projects. Promising young academics continue to receive support during their studies and stay in close connection with the research groups via a Fellow program
Details
Die Gemeinschaft der Grundlagenforschung in Teilchenphysik, Kernphysik und Astrophysik in Deutschland ist sehr groß, mit z.B. mehr als 2000 Wissenschaftler*innen, die an den jährlichen nationalen Konferenzen teilnehmen. Die Vielfalt des Physikprogrammes auf diesen Feldern ist auch in den Größenordnungen der Experimente und Kollaborationen sichtbar, von Zerfallsexperimenten im lokalen Labor bis zu den Großforschungs- und Beschleunigeranlagen wie dem CERN/LHC und GSI/FAIR. Die Forschung in Deutschland verteilt sich dabei auf die drei Säulen Universitäten, Max-Planck-Instituten und die Helmholtzzentren.
Das bundesweite „Netzwerk Teilchenwelt“ verbindet seit 2010 die Forschungsinstitute und Einrichtungen um die Öffentlichkeitsarbeit in Teilchen-, Astroteilchen- und Kernphysik zu fördern. In Rahmen dieser Initiative wird unter anderem Teilchenphysik durch aktiv Forschende in den Klassenraum gebracht. Junge Wissenschaftler*innen, meist Promovierende der beteiligten Universitäten, führen z.B. Masterclasses durch in denen Schüler*innen Daten der LHC-Experimente auswerten können oder selbst Teilchen der kosmischen Strahlung vermessen.
Jedes Jahr nehmen etwa 3500 Schüler*innen an diesen Masterclasses und dem Stufenprogramm des Netzwerk Teilchenwelt teil. Das Programm ermöglicht es jährlich 70 Jugendliche ans CERN einzuladen, um dort an Workshops teilzunehmen oder sogar ein eigenes Forschungsprojekt zu verfolgen. Viel versprechende, junge Akademiker*innen werden in ihrem Studium unterstützt und bleiben durch ein Fellow-Programm mit den Forschungsgruppen verbunden.
