Ideas
- Write article series about (development of -> frontier of) particle physics/fundamental physics, make (permanent) contact with the Aftenposten journalist (or other newspapers) who is in charge of science, and have them print one article e.g. each Saturday.
- Contact NRK Schrödingers Katt/Newton/Verdt å vite (P2) to see if they would be interested in doing a special on CERN 50 years.
Projects
- Prototype of Atlas detector [Samir] (deadline? status?)
- High school visits. We prefer to contact the physics teachers at
each school directly. Robindra will get a list of the high schools
in the Oslo region and try to find the physics teachers email adresses .We will do the presentation together and preferably talk about our
areas of study in an understandable and interesting way.
Terminated Projects
- CERN SSP collage: /websider/epf/epf_outreach/cern_summer.pdf [Robindra]
- "CERN 50 år: Om det minste og det største i universet"
Article on CERN and particle physics [Marianne/Olav/Robindra].
- Open Day 2004:
Marianne introduced CERN and the ATLAS
experiment to a crowd of roughly 40 high school students
(slides: /websider/epf/epf_outreach/presentasjon.ppt).
Particle physics stand [Olav, Robindra] forming part of the
department's public stand at Idrettsbygningen. The stand included
a cloud chamber, particle track images and a laptop running ATLAS/ CMS animations (pictures).
- Two posters have been produced: "ATLAS/LHC" (A0),
"Bubble chamber" (A1)
- Esben has superimposed the LHC ring on a map of Oslo:
"LHC ringen over Oslo"

Guidelines for this page
This html-page is found at /websider/epf/epf_outreach/index.html.
Everyone can edit it.
When someone has some information about the 'EPF Outreach' project (do we have a better name?)
to give to the others,
e.g. the birth of a grand idea, the realisation of an idea etc.,
this file is where to put that information.
And, for this file to be of any use, we must all keep reading and editing it.
The categories:
- Under 'Calendar' relevant deadlines etc. are listed.
(Does anyone know how to in a simple way use tabulators in html?)
- Ideas which are not yet being realised are put under 'Ideas'.
- When an idea is being realised (someone has taken responsability etc.),
'Project' is where to put the information.
The name of the 'project leader/members' should be stated.
Sometimes (hopefully) an item listed under 'Ideas' will be developed into a project.
When this happens, the item should be moved from 'Ideas' to 'Projects'.
- Under 'Names, addresses' relevant contact information
(to journalists, information employees etc.) should be put.
- Additional files or web pages for ideas or projects should be placed
under /websider/epf/epf_outreach/ (or your home/data disk)
and linked to from this document.
Make sure that they are open for reading(/writing).
Everyone is free to change the structure of this document, e.g. add new categories.
A good rule is to keep it simple and easily maintainable.
