42. Education and public outreach of the Pierre Auger Observatory

Dr Charles for the Pierre Auger Collaboration TIMMERMANS (Nikhef/Radboud University)

21/06/2018, 09:30

The scale and scope of the physics studied at the Pierre Auger Observatory continue to offer significant opportunities for original outreach work. Education, outreach and public relations of the Auger Collaboration are coordinated in a separate task whose goals are to encourage and support a wide range of education and outreach efforts that link schools and the public with the Auger scientists...

15. Dissemination about natural radioactivity through Work-Based Learning experiences

Dr MARIAGABRIELLA PUGLIESE (INFN SEZIONE DI NAPOLI)

21/06/2018, 09:50

This work investigates the importance of Work-Based Learning experiences of Italian high school students and how some extracurricular basic knowledge may influence the student's intrinsic motivation. The Italian model, named Alternation School-Work, highlights the partnership between schools and workplaces or real life situations. So that, we consider the experience of about 120 students of 3...

142. The Distributed Electronic Cosmic-ray Observatory

Prof. Justin Vandenbroucke (University of Wisconsin)

21/06/2018, 10:10

Camera image sensors in cell phones can be used as detectors not only of optical photons but also of high energy particles. The Distributed Electronic Cosmic-ray Observatory (DECO) is a citizen science project launched in 2014 to detect cosmic rays and other ionizing radiation using smart phones. It consists of a free app and associated public web-based data browser. Users in over 80...

3. Search for coincident air showers over large scale distances with the EEE network

Paola La Rocca (CT)

21/06/2018, 10:30

The existence of time correlations in detectors separated by distances much larger of the size of the highest energy extensive air showers (EAS) has been long discussed over the years. Several mechanisms have been proposed to justify the existence of such events and, in the last decade, some experiments have also tried to search for correlations on a large scale distance, beyond one hundred...

144. “THE PIERRE AUGER OBSERVATORY” a peculiar didactical experience between school and work

Prof. Ilaria Veronesi (Centro ricerca Limat dipmat Unisa)

21/06/2018, 12:05

In this presentation it will be described a peculiar educational experience with a class of Italian students aged 17-18 during the competition "at the school of Astroparticles" organized by the National Institute for nuclear physics INFN. It will also be shown how the action-research in scientific methodology formed an alternative, effective, and motivating approach to the study of Physics....
