Farrona , R. Vilar a Institute of Physics of Cantabria, Edificio Juan Jordá, Avda. De los Castros, S/N, Santander, 39005, Spain Abstract In April 2013, a CERN exhibition was shown in Santander: “The largest scientific instrument ever built”. Around the exhibition, were proposed several activities: guide tours for children, younger and adults, workshops, film projections… In this way, the exhibition was visited by more than two thousand persons. We must keep in mind that Santander is a small city and it population does not usually take part in outreach activity. With this contribution, we want to teach the way in which it is possible to take advantage of science exhibitions. It made possible to show the Large Hadron Collider at CERN experiment to the great majority of Santander population, and to awaken their interest in or enthusiasm for science.

A framework of activities as described above great progress in the last 100 years. The future is was set for it, and the exhibition was visited by more pulling for this direction and the basis of that future is than two thousand persons, when usually this type of the children of today's present. Because of this, it is of exhibition does not have more a few dozens of people. enormous importance for general public to get exposed The objective of this work is to show how to profit to science and get them to appreciate as a motorlife of from science exhibitions to a huge outreach event in a a high standard of life. small city as ours. It made possible to show the Large In this way, exhibitions offer us a great opportunity Hadron Collider at CERN experiment to the great to show and provide science. In according with this majority of Santander population, and to awaken their idea, as Caulton (1998) said, “the growth of hands-on interest in or enthusiasm for science. museums and science centres has been one of the most remarkable features of the leisure industry in the last decade, with almost every new exhibition proposal today incorporating an interactive element for visitors”. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2015.09.194 2405-6014/© 2016 Published by Elsevier B.V. 1226 A.M.M.

  • Input to the Update of the European Strategy on Particle Physics Provided by the Spanish Scientific Particle Physics Community
    ESPP2020-ES December 2018 Input to the update of the European Strategy on Particle Physics provided by the Spanish Scientific Particle Physics community Submitted to the ESPP Physics Preparatory Group - December 2018 Abstract This document summarizes the views of the Spanish community concerning the update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, which was launched by the CERN Council in its September 2018 session. The priorities, recommendations, and commitments of the community regarding the mid- and long-term plans in the different areas of activity of Particle Physics are discussed. We address the following aspects: the energy frontier (the LHC/HL-LHC program and beyond), beyond colliders’ physics (astroparticles, neutrinos, multi-messengers and cosmological surveys), nuclear physics and our contributions to theoretical physics. An Addendum containing more detailed information on the activity and resources of the Spanish community complements this main document.

A summary of the status and the priorities in the field of Particle Physics of the Spanish community is presented. The input provided here is the result of the work of the various national thematic networks, as well as the output of extended discussions of the whole community during two town meetings that took place in September and October 2018.

    CERNJuly/August 2020 cerncourier.com COURIERReporting on international high-energy physics WLCOMEE CERN Courier – digital edition Welcome to the digital edition of the July/August 2020 issue of CERN Courier. From giant detectors at the receiving end of artificial neutrino beams to vast sub-ice or subsea arrays and smaller setups investigating whether neutrinos are Majorana particles, neutrino experiments span an enormous range of types, scales and locations. Today, as explored in this issue, a new generation of reactor and NEUTRINO accelerator experiments – including DUNE in the US, Hyper-Kamiokande in Japan and JUNO in China – are gearing up to complete the measurements of neutrino- EXPERIMENTS oscillation parameters and establish the neutrino mass ordering. Meanwhile, a series of shorter baseline experiments are scrutinising the three-neutrino paradigm. STEP UP Coordinated global action has seen Europe, via the CERN neutrino platform, European strategy update unveiled participate in the long-baseline neutrino programmes in Japan and the US. This Neutrons on COVID-19 has proved a major success. The 2020 update of the European strategy for particle Big Science economics physics, released on 19 June, recommends that the neutrino platform receives continued support. Its highest priority recommendations are to pursue an electron–positron Higgs factory to follow the LHC, and that Europe explores the feasibility of a future energy-frontier hadron collider with a Higgs factory as a possible first stage. These are exciting times, and this month’s Viewpoint also calls on particle physicists to highlight the broader socioeconomic impact of our field. Elsewhere in this issue: a global network of ultra-sensitive magnetometers called GNOME homes in on exotic fields; neutron facilities prepare to study the structure of SARS-CoV-2; graphene-based Hall probes trialled at CERN; reports on the virtual IPAC and LHCP events; CLOUD experiment breaks new ground in atmospheric science; and much more.
