1. Dave Barney, Michael Kobel Overview Key objectives Motivation Next Steps

2.  “E”  “I” to reflect true International nature of the group  Discussions at EPPOG meetings this year to expand membership and play a more prominent role in worldwide particle-physics outreach  Draft document at: https://cms-docdb.cern.ch/cgi-bin/PublicEPPOGDocDB/ShowDocument?docid=200 summarizes history of EPPOG & proposed evolution  discussed at October EPPOG meeting  endorsed by EPPOG EPPOG --> IPPOGDave Barney + Michael Kobel, ECFA Plenary Nov. 2010 2 EPPOG  IPPOG Overview

3.  Potential for Expanded membership >40 Non-member & observer states of CERN some of which have well-advanced outreach programs  Several in the process of joining CERN as full members Developing nations just starting with HEP programs  Comment: “I really like this. I'm particularly interested in the challenge of extending the Masterclasses to developing countries and would be happy to help with this” Many HEP labs around the world  KEK, Fermilab, Protvino………  Neutrinos, dark matter, light sources (mines) etc. Related fields of research  Particle astrophysics  ASPERA - http://www.aspera-eu.org/  JEM-EUSO (Extreme Universe Space Observatory on board Japanese Experiment Module) - http://jemeuso.riken.jp/ EPPOG --> IPPOGDave Barney + Michael Kobel, ECFA Plenary Nov. 2010 3 Key Objectives (1)

4.  Comment: “I think the main challenge will be getting the IPPOG membership right and of the right size. It will be important to be open to reasonable representation from e.g. major laboratories and other countries around the world. However if the numbers are too big then I suspect it will be less effective”  Comment: “It seems to me that in view of expansion of our activities we may have to set up a few working groups in the near future” EPPOG --> IPPOGDave Barney + Michael Kobel, ECFA Plenary Nov. 2010 4 Key Objectives (1) cont.

5.  EPPOG database of HEP Education & Outreach materials (see EPPOG talk tomorrow)  Will likely need manpower for maintenance  Need much improved web site to take advantage of the database and make content easily available to all  Will need manpower for this EPPOG --> IPPOGDave Barney + Michael Kobel, ECFA Plenary Nov. 2010 5 Key Objectives (2)

6.  Tighter integration with other particle physics Education & Outreach groups worldwide EPPOG --> IPPOGDave Barney + Michael Kobel, ECFA Plenary Nov. 2010 6 High Schools General Public ScientistsMediaScience Centres & Museums IPPOG ✔✔ ✔ ✔ EPPCN ✔ ✔ Interactions ✔ ✔ ✔ QuarkNet ✔ Aspera ✔✔ ✔ Group Audience Improved coordination, resource sharing, strengthening targeted efforts for effective sustainable impact Key Objectives (3)

7.  “IPPOG could transform to a possible worldwide leader in scientific education and outreach activities for particle physics and related fields.”  Comment: “I like this one, it is clear and motivating and it reflects how I feel.” EPPOG --> IPPOGDave Barney + Michael Kobel, ECFA Plenary Nov. 2010 7 Key Objectives (4)

8.  Particle physics (mainly CERN & LHC) is well known to the public  EPPOG members have helped this process EPPOG --> IPPOGDave Barney + Michael Kobel, ECFA Plenary Nov. 2010 8 Motivation

9.  In 1997 EPPOG identified 5 primary tasks:  Exchange information on outreach activities and experiences  Take inventory of materials used for outreach  Pool resources  Identify media contacts  Identify other collaborating partners to strengthen efforts EPPOG --> IPPOGDave Barney + Michael Kobel, ECFA Plenary Nov. 2010 9 Now is the time to revisit our youth and, at the same time, evolve our group ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ EPPOG evolution from “discussion forum” to developing it’s own projects (Masterclasses, database……) Motivation (cont.)

10.  Core activities of our group will not change  Bi-yearly meetings as forums for discussion, sharing of ideas, etc.  Every two years possibly have one meeting outside Europe  Provide organization and support for yearly International Particle Physics Masterclasses  Funding for EPPOG activities is now non- negligible  CERN (database), EPS + Helmholz Alliance + German “Gentner” program (masterclasses) --- But will likely need more funding/manpower…. EPPOG --> IPPOGDave Barney + Michael Kobel, ECFA Plenary Nov. 2010 10 Evolution, not revolution

11.  Require formal approval from ECFA that this is the right thing to do EPPOG --> IPPOGDave Barney + Michael Kobel, ECFA Plenary Nov. 2010 11 Next steps (1): Formal Approval

12. Next Steps (2) - Governance  Who would IPPOG report to?  ECFA, for 2011 at least?  EPS + APS (American Physical Society) + APS (Asian Physical Society) + … i.e. a combination of various international physical societies  ECFA + ACFA + …. i.e. a combination of various international committees for future accelerators  IUPAP (International Union of Pure and Applied Physics)  IUPAP Commission 11 (particles and fields)  ICFA (International Committee for Future Accelerators, sponsored by IUPAP Commission 11) EPPOG --> IPPOGDave Barney + Michael Kobel, ECFA Plenary Nov. 2010 12

13. Next Steps (3)- Members/Projects  Which new members to add first?  How to deal with increased membership  Working groups?  More frequent meetings? (via EVO?)  Travel outside of Europe is difficult for some existing members  Idea for 1 st 2011 IPPOG project (see talk tomorrow)  Likely need for dedicated manpower in 2011 (see talk tomorrow) EPPOG --> IPPOGDave Barney + Michael Kobel, ECFA Plenary Nov. 2010 13
