7. Most Observed Message: Scientists narrow search for Higgs boson - they are on the right track Most Observed Issue: Data not yet conclusive but announcement in 2012 is likely Most Negative Message: Arguments over use of term ‘The God particle’ Total Volume:1910 Very Positive:10.41% Positive:10.36% Neutral:68.17% Poor: 6.49% Negative: 4.55% Circulation:629,337,259 AVE:€112,156,338 Key Metrics – Overall (Global)

9. Key Take Away Points The announcement strategy was a success given the objectives to manage expectations about certainty, and the context required to understand the announcement at all. The reporting did convey the facts that the Atlas and CMS results had narrowed the possibility of detecting the Higgs’ decay signature to areas consistent with theory, and that further results would make it possible to have a more conclusive announcement in 2012 Having twice caught the general public’s attention with announcements in 2011 CERN has a unique opportunity to cement the role of ‘big science’ in a context which will retain broad public support – but it needs to demonstrate its awareness that its global audience does often not understand the language of physics and be prepared to help bridge this gap as a means to manage expectation. One thing is certain; CERN has entered the public mainstream to a degree unmatched by any other scientific institution – a fact with both positive and negative potential going forward.

21. ATLAS VISITOR CENTRE Three Phases Phase I: Renewal of Existing Visitor Centre (In Progress) Phase II: Path Between Globe and AVC (Planning Stages) Phase III: Complete Renewal of AVC Coordinated with CERN EDU Renewal of CERN Visits Itinerary 3/1/2016 c.marcelloni

22. PHASE I R ENEW OF AVC Reparation/Replacement of Existing Tools/Games New power point presentation shall be available soon New version of 3D movie New web site in the collaboration page WE NEED GUIDES 3/1/2016 c.marcelloni

23. PHASE II G LOBE -ATLAS PATH PROJECT The Globe-ATLAS Path Project will complement the Visitor Centre by providing a focus on the physics through interaction with real parts of the detector. It will be located on a plot of land connecting the Visitor Centre with the garden of CERN's Globe of Science, and will: 1. Provide a covered path that allows fluid passage in both directions 2. Exhibit real parts of the detector (including a1:1 mock up of the inner detector) in a fascinating and interactive way 3/1/2016 c.marcelloni

24. T HE SITE AVAILABLE 3/1/2016 ATLAS Garden Project Team 24

25. R EQUIREMENTS The exhibit should: Create a harmonious connection between the Globe and the ATLAS Visitor Centre; Favor usage of sustainable materials and renewable energy; Be robust and easy to maintain; Be coherent whether viewed before the ATLAS Visitor Centre, afterwards or on its own; Provide an online extension for continuation of the visit; Provide a clear view of the mural located on the wall of SX1. 3/1/2016 ATLAS Garden Project Team 25
