Writing by Abha Eli Phoboo ATLAS Week, 11 February 2014
for the public because we want to inspire interest in fundamental research encourage sustained support for ATLAS, LHC and particle physics share the importance of intellectual curiosity & its benefits spread our enthusiasm for scientific endeavours, even when we are not making ground-breaking discoveries by establishing new, continuous website content
but mostly because “The whole point of doing that kind of science is to learn cool new things about the world, which is pointless if we then don’t tell anybody what we’ve learned.” – Sean Carroll, Wired
what we write about when we write about physics OverviewEveryone here is motivated by physics, June 2013 Interview with Peter Jenni about the EPS Prize • Granting a wish, July 2013 Callum Kerr visits ATLAS through Make-A-Wish Foundation, which grants "magical wishes to children living with life-threatening illnesses” New results from EPS, July 2013 Physics updates from Stockholm on new ATLAS results • Sharing the excitement of discovery, Sept 2013 • Prequel to CERN Open Days
Englert and Higgs get the Nobel, Oct 2013 Report on the award, special mention to ATLAS and CMS Full Coverage for ATLAS Muons, Oct 2013 Update about the completion of the ee chambers Higgs into Fermions, Nov 2013 News on new evidence of Higgs’ properties Dealing with Data, Jan 2014 How ATLAS deals with the huge amount of data
in short interviews, overviews, updates, upgrades, awards, reports, conferences, curtain-raisers, physics results, physics events, results of physics events, detector work, software, hardware, soft and hard probes, searches, human interest visits, matter, antimatter, or any kind of matter makes learning about ATLAS and physics more interesting than learning about Tom Cruise
in the works • first ATLAS PhD scholarship programme • ATLAS thesis awards what it takes to be a member state? recent ATLAS heavy ion result how many physicists does it take to sort 300kg of lego bricks into 23 large ATLAS model boxes? content audit and creation for new website
