Exhibit Neutrino Pendulum

This is the worldwide first model of coupled pendula, which demonstrates the complete phenomenology of neutrino flavor-oscillations for 3 different neutrino species (flavors). Up until now, only models for just 2 flavors existed. The model is adjustable corresponding to variable neutrino mass differences and variable mixing parameters (PMNS angles) between the 3 flavors. Arbitrary oscillation patterns like those for solar neutrinos or atmospheric neutrinos can be simulated with any parameter settings (e.g. with the mixing angle 1-3 being zero or non-zero).

Quarked!

The Quarked! project was conceived by Professor Alice Bean and a diverse team of collaborators at the University of Kansas in 2003 as an entertaining method of introducing the world of subatomic physics to kids and adults. (...) Now, Quarked! - Adventures in the Subatomic Universe brings subatomic physics to life through a multimedia project including an interactive website, a facilitated program for museums and schools, and an educational outreach program. (...) Targeted to kids ages 7-12 (and their families), the Quarked!

Comics about Gravitational Waves

Nel 2016 viene annunciata la scoperta delle onde gravitazionali. Un anno dopo, i fisici registrano il primo segnale “multimessaggero” della storia della scienza, aprendo la strada ad una nuova branca della fisica: l’astronomia multimessaggera.

ATLAS Interview - Benedetto Gorini ,Commissioning/Run Coordinator ATLAS Experiment on the LHC at CERN

The ATLAS detector is a highly sophisticated and complex tool. ATLAS physicist Stephen Goldfarb (U of Michigan) interviews colleague Benedetto Gorini, ATLAS Commissioning /Run Coordinator. In this interview, Gorini explains to viewers the ATLAS control room's role in ensuring the proper functioning of this tool through a quick tour of the control room. He explains what the different desks do, what the screens are showing, and how all of this is coordinated.

ATLAS Interview - Chris Bee, TDAQ Project Leader, ATLAS Experiment on the LHC at CERN

The ATLAS detector on the LHC will give us more and more data on particle collisions than has ever before been collected. Out of all of this data collected how do ATLAS scientists select the data that is really important to them? In this interview by ATLAS's Steven Goldfarb (U Michigan), Chris Bee, TDAQ Project Leader describes how we filter the tremendous amount of data being produced by ATLAS to just the data scientists really want to keep and examine.

PhD TV: Dark Matters

Through hand drawn illustrations, this video creatively explains the basics on what we know about dark matter. Contents of this video are based on what the author learned during a conversation with physicists Daniel Whiteson and Jonathan Feng about Dark Matter and how CERN's collider is helping answer the question "What is dark matter?".
