The new set of conferences "Admira Talks" will be held from May 28, 2021 to June 14, 2021 and it will consist on a series of 4 lectures given by international experts surrouding the ADMIRA project.

This project seeks to motivate high school teachers offering them the chance to work with state-of-the-art technology developed in research centers such as CERN,  as well as providing additional formation and a networking space around a specific topic. It allows students and teachers the opportunity to handle real scientific instruments and data to experiment with and thus, be the main characters in their research projects making a contribution to the creation of scientific knowledge. The ultimate goal is to bring research closer to high school students so as to encourage STEM careers among them using the detection of particles with the MEDIPIX sensors as the means to that.

This 4 lectures are organized by researchers from CERN and from the Faculty of Physics of the University of Barcelona and the ICCUB in collaboration with the IDP-ICE. 

The access to the lectures is completely free - they are open to all students and teachers with an interest in the subject and they aim to complement the activities that the ADMIRA work group of our institute organized last year.

This activity will not be certifiable and has free access through several links. The language of each talk is specified in the program below.

 

PROGRAM

TALK: "How can we "visualize" particles with the detectors Medipix/Timepix"
Summary

In this presentation we will study the technology around hybrid detectors developed originally at CERN.

We will observe the process of electronic measurement that converts the signal emited by a particle in the detector to a computer image.

We will also discuss the transistor, the building block of microelectronic circuits and hybrid pixel technology applications.

TALK: “Let’s play with particle physics, Discover radiation everywhere with CERN technology”
Summary

Radiation is everywhere. In nuclear reactors, particle accelerators and outer space but also in the air around us, in the soil even in our own bodies (in very small levels). You can see it yourself with innovative CERN Medipix pixel detector technology. We will together go through the demonstration of interactive detection with online visualization of different sources of radiation.

Schedule:

· Introduction: Radiation everywhere in normal environment.

· Operation of miniaturized radiation camera.

· Interactive demonstration online detection on the desk – explanation and discussion.

· Other examples of radiation – outer space, particle accelerators, cosmic rays, ...

TALK: "Introduction to radiation"
Summary

We will begin this presentation by briefly recalling the principles of atomic structure (electronic and nuclear) that will set the groundwork to understand radioactivity.

We will describe the main parameters that characterize radioactivity and some of the most common examples. Next, we will present the classification of the different radioactive processes, some of their features and how to quantify radiation amounts (radiometry).

Lastly, we will explain how to measure the effects of radioactive exposure (dosimetry) and the safety precautions one must take so as to avoid such exposure (radiation protection), as well as some radiation detection mechanisms.

TALK: "Measuring natural radioactivity from cosmic rays and the soil with pixels and diode detectors"
Summary Oliver will present different educational experiments and radiation detector instruments that he developed during his doctoral studies at CERN. His 'DIY particle detector' project (https://github.com/ozel/DIY_particle_detector) can be easily built by students and teachers, and works similarly to one pixel of advanced pixel detectors like Timepix. Both are great tools for learning about natural radioactivity from the atmosphere (Muons!), the soil (natural Uranium, Thorium, Potassium-40 etc.) as well as from everyday objects.

ADMIRA Project: Activities with Medipix Detectors to Research Radiation in the Classroom

The ADMIRA Project (Activities with Medipix Detectors to Investigate Radiation in the classroom) aims to create a network of schools around the use of Timepix Detectors designed at CERN. The objective is to bring the Institutes closer to the research done in Universities and Research Centers. A group of schools that have participated in a selection process will use these devices in their classrooms. Teacher training activities will be open to any institute teacher who is interested (with the aim of expanding the network in future editions).

On this website you can consult the objectives of the ADMIRA project, the ways of participating and the activities offered for teachers and students. You can also find the didactic orientations, skills and key contents that are intended to work.
