Title: German Outreach Report

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

Outreach Web Pages http//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/ketStu
    die/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/ver
    anstaltungen/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 coordinators position from
    metal industryPoststrasse 4/5, Berlin

6
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
  • gt 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

8
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 ???n?enn decay
    at rest
  • identification of a V0 -decay, e.g.
    pp?p??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
  • resultssent 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 overviewhttp//www.physics2000.de/ ?

Summary
  • Outreach Funding in Germany first
    success!
  • Web Page Status increased usage
  • KET Report on Future of Particle Physics in
    Germany available 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
