American Physical Society Outreach Guide

This guide was created to provide ideas, opportunities, and most importantly “how-to” information regarding physics outreach programs. The goal of the Guide is to arm you with all the information you will need to do outreach programs, starting with a selection of possible outreach programs you can do. For every program we list, we provide the details about the resources you need, how to actually execute the program, FAQs, as well as Success Stories and experts you can contact for more information.

Local LHC Map

This online tool gives you a sense of scale for large particle accelerators. You can choose to place a ring of the size of the LHC, Tevatron or FCC on a map of your local area. Take screenshots to use in your presentations when you visit other cities, to show the locals how big the LHC would be if built in their neighbourhood.

Higgs-Presentations

This collection has seven presentations on the Higgs-boson and related topics. The presentations where hold by several German scientists after the Nobel Prize in Physics 2013 was awarded to François Englert and Peter W. Higgs. The presentations are generally understandable and can be used for information or as a source of inspiration for own presentations or discussions on the Higgs.

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 audience, including the participation of the Taiwanese groups in the CMS experiment.

CMS HEP Tutorial

This tutorial gives a basic introduction into fundamental concepts of data analysis in HEP experiments. In the current format it has been used for a one-week course in the context of a HEP workshop and a data analysis school. It should be most useful for undergraduate students who have the basic knowledge of particle physics, but without any experience in data analysis. Prerequisites are some knowledge of C++ and the ROOT data analysis framework (there are dedicated tutorials on ROOT as well).
