The Netherlands

Intro

In the Netherlands, (astro)particle physics is coordinated by Nikhef, which is a collaborations between the NWO-I institute for subatomic physics and six universities. Within Nikhef, ~75 technicians and engineers, ~185 physicists and ~25 support staff work together which enables the institute to engage in the design and building of detectors, the analysis of the data from these detectors, and the development of scientific theories. Nikhef has a long history in outreach, with participation in Masterclasses, open days, high school visits, etc. These events are organised by the Nikhef scientists and the communications department. Nikhef was the first organisation signing the IPPOG MoU in 2016.

Het (astro)deeltjes onderzoek in Nederland wordt gecoördineerd door Nikhef. Nikhef is een samenwerkingsverband tussen het NWO-I instituut voor sub-atomaire fysica en zes universiteiten. Binnen Nikhef werken ~75 technici en ingenieurs, ~185 fysici, en ~25 ondersteunend personeel samen, waardoor het instituut in staat is om detectoren te ontwerpen en bouwen, de data uit deze detectoren te analyseren, en wetenschappelijke theorieën te ontwikkelen. Nikhef heeft een lange geschiedenis in outreach, met deelname aan Masterclasses, open dagen, bezoeken aan middelbare scholen, enz. Deze activiteiten worden door wetenschappers samen met de afdeling communicatie georganiseerd. Nikhef was de eerste organisatie die in 2016 het IPPOG MoU ondertekend heeft.

South Africa

Intro

NRF-iThemba LABS (Laboratory for Accelerator Based Science)

At the tip of Africa lies the largest particle accelerator facility in the Southern Hemisphere and the only cyclotron facility of its kind on the African continent.
iThemba Laboratories for Accelerator Based Science (LABS), a research facility of the National Research Foundation (NRF), operates from sites located in Cape Town and Johannesburg offering applied and fundamental research capacity and infrastructure for accelerator-based sciences.
iThemba LABS has been producing radioisotopes for both the local and international market according to current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) in specialised facilities and supplied for clinical application, for more than 30 years.

Gillian Arendse

Gillian Arendse is a well-known and loved presenter at many an Educational event; whether a school, conference or symposium. He is an experimental nuclear physicist (by training), motivator (by choice and conviction), and a general all-rounder committed to use his gifts and talents to impact the lives of every person with whom he interacts. His passion to leave people better than he found them is fuelled by a need to be challenged on a daily basis.

Montenegro

Intro

 

In Montenegro, high energy physics takes place at University of Montenegro. University of Montenegro has been a full member of several international scientific collaborations in particle physics: H1 collaboration at DESY institute in Hamburg, CMS collaboration at CERN in Geneva as well as RD50 collaboration at CERN. Scientists from University of Montenegro had participated to several other experiments during their scientific specializations. Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics of University of Montenegro is devoted to rather diverse outreach activities ranging from Masterclasses to lectures for general audience during science promotion events.

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.
