  1. Visits and Shop Raven Hanna

  2. Visits What do visitors want to see? What can visitors see? What do visitors want to learn? What impression does CERN want to give visitors?

  3. Visitors’ Wants and Needs Varied backgrounds and interests What is CERN? What does it do? Who works there? What’s it like to work there? What is the history? What is the future?

  4. CERN’s Wants and Needs • Ensure visitors to enjoy their visits • Promote a science-literate and science-supportive public • Show the public their money is used wisely • Share our enthusiasm for physics and particle research

  5. Where to go? How do we show physicists at work? • big machines • control room • restaurant • offices • internal roads/ building facades • computer center • library

  6. Core Information • Everything we see and know is made of fundamental particles and follows rules • We know a lot, but still are working on many important questions • To answer these questions we need a way to observe very small, very fast things • We’ve developed particle accelerators to help. Each more powerful accelerator allows us to ask more probing questions. • LHC will address these questions: e.g. Higgs, antimatter, and history of the universe • LHC requires new technologies and engineering advancements • Groups apply to put detectors on LHC – here’s the four that have been approved and what they will study.

  7. Potential Itinerary Themes Mysteries of the Universe Cosmology Antimatter Informatics (web, grid) Engineering (cryogenics, superconductivity, magnets) Applied science (for medicine, like PET) Scientific method

  8. A Day at CERN • Start in the Globe (walk through LHC-like tunnel?) • Watch movie about CERN stats • Volunteer CERN employee lectures (enthusiastically) on particle physics (demonstrations?) • Walk past offices to Library talk on open source & scientific method • Bus tour around CERN to one more stop depending on tour type • End back at shop/Globe

  9. Under Consideration… • make tours afternoon? • set up “in situ” exhibits in the CERN halls? • have experts give tour talks?

  10. Shop Continuing the education…

  11. Designs Good Esthetics Share science-information Quality Informational tag
