German Outreach Report • Outreach Funding in Germany • Web Page Status • KET Report on Future of Particle Physics in Germany • Physics on Stage: Science on Stage e.V. Germany • University Online Lectures „Physics 2000“ Michael KobelBonn UniversityOPAL, ATLAS, D0 European Particle Physics Outreach Group Meeting, Vienna, 10.10.2003
Outreach funding in Germany • April 2003: first official outreach application to BMBF • 23 k€ / year corresponding to 0.2% of total HEP support(equiv. to 1 Ph.D. student position) • seems to have been in largest parts successful (final word this month) • Projects: • maintenance of www.teilchenphysik.org • particle physics experiments for schools: Kamiokanne • measurement of cosmic muons: • angular distribution • life time of muons • material CD for schools • masterclass competition WYP 2005 • (travel) support for physics teachers at CERN • financing letter has to be accompagnied by a national letter first proof to make sensible things with it before asking for more Th. Trefzger (Uni Mainz)
Outreach Web Pageshttp://www.teilchenphysik.info or .org and new:.de • News and events to be announced remotely by each institute • archive for each year available • well accepted by organizers • Forum for teachers • discuss particle physics in high school • comment available school material • not used… • Publicize Site wore widely 02/03 • 150 750 visits/month • 4Mb 50 Mb transfer /month
KET Report on Future of HEP in Germany • Complete Review of current state and future • Suggested and funded by reasearch ministry • Written by physicists +1 science writer: 120pg.NOW: available printed and on CD in Englishhttp://www.dpg-physik.de/fachgremien/t/ket/ketStudie/ket-study.html • For: scientists (non-physicists) colleagues physics students scientific educated public funding agencies and advisory panels • Graphics by DESY (HH/Zeuthen) + graphics bureauvery nice graphics for outreach! http://www.dpg-physik.de/fachgremien/t/ket/ketStudie/bilder.html • Publically presented in a symposium on 22.11.02 in Bonntalks (in German) available on the webhttp://www.dpg-physik.de/fachgremien/t/ket/veranstaltungen/hep_symposium.html
Science on Stage e.V. Germany (SonS) • Old German tradition: have a club for everything: • founded non-profit association “Science on Stage Germany e.V.” • get more recognition in the public • make easier to gain funding from third parties • first public appearance at the Science Days in the “Europa-Park Rust” near Freiburg. from October 16 to 18 • some ten thousands of students, teachers and families visit • present a small part of the German contribution to POS 3 • informing about the aims of SonS: • promote the education in technology and the natural sciences in school and society on a national and european level • organize events, workshops and symposia • increase activities in the field of public and media • Got a technical coordinator’s position from metal industry:Poststrasse 4/5, Berlin
Online university lectures and remote lab experiments • 3-years BMBF project: „Physics 2000“, ending 2004http://www.physics2000.de • Content: Siegen, Berlin, Bonn, Dortmund, Jena, Rostock • Evaluation: Berlin, Jena, Rostock • Program: „new media“ inuniversity teaching • aim: network of universities in teaching of research and applied physics • first steps for internationalisation of study(to be translated 2004: Lancaster) • Development Phase: • create 14 internet-based teaching modules, mostly cross-topic(Medicine-physics, Astro-particle, etc.) • create / improve 15 advanced lab course experiments available at 1 place only • develop concepts of combined teaching remote and locally • communication platforms • evaluation
Example: Bubble Chamber Experiment, Bonn Original: • > 1000 Bubble Chamber Photos in 3 differnt views on original film • Projektion table to view singleand overlay / move several photos • Radius-“Schablonen“ • Ruler • Virtual, remote: • ca 500 scanned photos (jpg) • overlay / move / zoom on PC screen • Analyse with Java Applicationen, via mouse
Realisation of bubble chamber experiment • Manual and Preparation (web-based): online • Tasks: • measurement of beam profile and cross-section for 24 GeV/c protons • measurement of charged and neutral multiplicity • measurement of nm momentum in a nenndecay at rest • identification of a “ V0 “-decay, e.g. ppp+0, 0 p - • Introductory test per video link by tutor • “Experiment“: locally at PC • analysis: offline Program just for measuring, student should think him/herself • results:sent per e-mail oder s-mail to tutorDifferent event samples (100 aus 500) provide copying • Possibly final video discussion
Status • Most modules / experiments ready by end of 2003 • 2004: • Test phase and evaluation • Translation into English (funding provided) • Complete overview:http://www.physics2000.de/ Lehrangebote
Summary • Outreach Funding in Germany first success! • Web Page Statusincreased usage • KET Report on Future of Particle Physics in Germanyavailable in Enlish printed and on CD • Physics on Stage: Science on Stage e.V. Germany founded • University Online Lectures „Physics 2000“some particle physics and spin-offs included possibly translated in near future
