  2. Venus Transit 06.07 – 08.06 2004 Stand representing the study program: Physics Astronomy and Meteorology. CERN posters from the CERN 50 pages PC – hands-on-cern, demos Cloud chamber Oslo Outreach Activities EPOG 10.28.04 – 10.29.04 K. Pajchel, University of Oslo

  3. The Research Days is a national event 17. - 26. September Our research group participated in two of the main events The Research-marked and Young Research We represented the Physics Department and presented the CERN activities through 50 years. Oslo Outreach Activities EPOG 10.28.04 – 10.29.04 K. Pajchel, University of Oslo

  4. Research-marked was the big event. Two full days. Title: The Secrets of the Universe – experiments for the future Two tents: CERN 50 Exhibition, made at CERN Norwegian CERN activities through 50 years. Oslo Outreach Activities EPOG 10.28.04 – 10.29.04 K. Pajchel, University of Oslo

  5. Lead glass blocks Cloud chamber SAT from DELPHI (1000 kg ) Oslo Outreach Activities EPOG 10.28.04 – 10.29.04 K. Pajchel, University of Oslo

  6. Snapshots from the preparation Oslo Outreach Activities EPOG 10.28.04 – 10.29.04 K. Pajchel, University of Oslo

  7. Ready for receiving the guests. Friday morning: many young children 10 - 14 years (a day off from school ...) Saturday: many families Oslo Outreach Activities Screens Norway CERN Poster wall EPOG 10.28.04 – 10.29.04 K. Pajchel, University of Oslo

  8. Young Research 22. - 23. September Visitors: youth, 16 – 19 years. The events took place at the university The CERN exhibition was part of the presentation of the Department of Physics. Cloud chamber Oslo Outreach Activities EPOG 10.28.04 – 10.29.04 K. Pajchel, University of Oslo

  9. TV-program – 5. min about CERN and LHC in the most popular science program. The last CERN 50 event, so far... Closing of the exhibition: General public, jubilee-lecture, Prof. Egil Lillestøl. Birthday cake for all. Oslo Outreach Activities EPOG 10.28.04 – 10.29.04 K. Pajchel, University of Oslo

  10. Experience: The CERN Exhibition: It was attracting people, but it needed some explanation. It functioned at it's best when there was a person there to explain and talk with the visitors. Practical issues: Not too difficult to put up. We managed to move it on our own. Some problems with the security for the screens, specially the plasma screen. CERN posters: easy to print with good resolution. One could choose to print only a selection of them. Oslo Outreach Activities EPOG 10.28.04 – 10.29.04 K. Pajchel, University of Oslo

  11. The “hands-on” things attracted most attention – compared to the different multi media presentations (CERN presentations, PCs) The visitors, specially the young don't have time and patience to stay before a screen. They are more difficult to impress. Most popular: Cloud chamber simple and “live”, it has something to do with the space. Oslo Outreach Activities EPOG 10.28.04 – 10.29.04 K. Pajchel, University of Oslo

  12. The visitors were impressed by the SAT detector – WHAT is that? And the Atlas model – but again, it needed explanation. Oslo Outreach Activities EPOG 10.28.04 – 10.29.04 K. Pajchel, University of Oslo

  13. Nice example of: Hands on exhibit and Young Research Oslo Outreach Activities EPOG 10.28.04 – 10.29.04 K. Pajchel, University of Oslo

  14. Exhibits Cloud chamber: Supersaturated Environments http://www.cloudchambers.com/ The Atlas model: Samir.Ferrag@fys.uio.no It possible to order a copy of the model. Oslo Outreach Activities EPOG 10.28.04 – 10.29.04 K. Pajchel, University of Oslo
