项目摘要

LUCID UK aims to inspire the next generation of physicists and engineers by giving school students opportunities to work alongside research scientists analysing cosmic ray data in a national collaboration using detectors on Earth and in Space. LUCID UK will take data from school based research projects and make it available to all schools. LUCID in space, CERN@school kits across the UK and other cosmic ray detector projects will all combine to give students the chance to analyse new data and give them a real experience of cutting edge science. We have run a CERN@school pilot last year and we have noted an increase in uptake in physics at the pilot schools. It has also been invigorating for physics teachers who have been inspired by being part of a research team. By extending this nationally and involving all the national players we can transform the experience students have of physics. LUCID UK has three key strands: 1. LUCID (Langton Ultimate Cosmic ray Intensity Detector) is a student designed cosmic ray detector which uses Timepix chips from CERN. It will fly on Techdemosat in 2012 and our aim has always been to involve schools across the country in analysing the data taken. We want to have in place an infrastructure so that all schools who sign up to the project can be part of a huge collaboration analysing data. For this network of schools, over a hundred have already expressed interest, we are developing a method of uploading the data to the Grid and producing analysis packages for the students to use. We will develop a website for the LUCID project which will allow students to access cosmic ray data and perform operations. This will be in connection with putting the data on GridPP and developing analysis packages for pattern recognition, particle identification and correlations between Earth and Space and across cosmic ray showers. We will bring together the cosmic ray community and will develop a common protocol for storing data so that all efforts of schools across the UK can be brought together into a national research project. We will be using the facilities of GridPP thanks to the support of Professor Steve Lloyd at Queen Mary, University of London. LUCID UK is fully supported by GridPP at Management Board level, a CERN@school VO has already been established. 2. The LUCID UK collaboration network will use the CERN@school network of students taking cosmic ray data using the CERN@school kits. At the moment we have eleven schools using kits round Kent. We have support from SEPnet to have a further six chips round the South East and we will develop a loan scheme so that with we can target around sixty schools a year. The Ogden Trust will support another six chips across the UK and we hope to expand this. The invaluable feedback from the teacher support group from the CERN@school pilot will continue to shape the development of LUCID UK. 3. We want to develop a larger range of applications for students using the CERN@school kit. Thanks to an STFC small grant we are almost finished with our GCSE package for schools so that the excitement of having a piece of CERN in school can be introduced in radiation work which is covered in all GCSE science courses. There has been a huge uptake in physics at our school as a result of this project with 180 taking A level physics and between 0.5 and 1% of the students who take physics at UK Universities coming from the school. Almost 2% of the girls who went to study physics last year came from us. With LUCID flying in space next year the time is right to widen the excitement of this proven project to students across the UK. ESA is also considering further flights for LUCID 2 and 3 and the infrastructure will be in place to exploit potential data from the Moon and from Mars. A UK collaboration will bring the strengths of the community together and make us a world leader in involving and inspiring students through cosmic ray research and data analysis.

LUCID UK旨在通过让学生有机会与研究科学家一起工作，利用地球和太空探测器在国家合作中分析宇宙射线数据，从而激励下一代物理学家和工程师。LUCID UK将从学校的研究项目中获取数据，并将其提供给所有学校。LUCID在太空中，欧洲核子研究中心在英国各地的学校套件和其他宇宙射线探测器项目都将联合收割机结合起来，让学生有机会分析新数据，并给他们一个真实的体验尖端科学。去年，我们在CERN@school进行了试点，我们注意到试点学校的物理学学习有所增加。对于那些因成为研究团队的一员而受到启发的物理教师来说，这也是一种鼓舞。通过在全国范围内推广这一点，并让所有的国家参与者参与进来，我们可以改变学生对物理的体验。LUCID UK有三个关键部分：1. LUCID（兰顿终极宇宙射线强度探测器）是一个学生设计的宇宙射线探测器，使用欧洲核子研究中心的Timepix芯片。它将于2012年在Techdemosat上飞行，我们的目标一直是让全国各地的学校参与分析所采集的数据。我们希望建立一个基础设施，以便所有注册该项目的学校都可以参与分析数据的巨大合作。对于这个学校网络，超过一百所学校已经表示了兴趣，我们正在开发一种方法，将数据上传到网格，并制作分析包供学生使用。我们将为LUCID项目开发一个网站，使学生能够访问宇宙射线数据并进行操作。这将与将数据输入GridPP和开发模式识别、粒子识别和地球与空间之间以及宇宙射线簇射之间的相关性的分析包有关。我们将把宇宙射线社区聚集在一起，并将开发一个存储数据的通用协议，以便将英国各地学校的所有努力汇集到一个国家研究项目中。我们将使用GridPP的设施，感谢伦敦大学玛丽女王学院的史蒂夫·劳埃德教授的支持。LUCID UK在管理委员会层面得到了GridPP的全力支持，CERN@school VO已经成立。2. LUCID英国合作网络将使用CERN@school学生网络，利用CERN@school工具包获取宇宙射线数据。目前，我们有11所学校使用肯特周围的工具包。我们得到了SEPnet的支持，在东南部再安装六个芯片，我们将制定一个贷款计划，这样我们每年可以瞄准大约60所学校。奥格登信托基金将在英国支持另外六个芯片，我们希望扩大这一点。来自CERN@school试点的教师支持小组的宝贵反馈将继续塑造LUCID UK的发展。3.我们希望为使用CERN@school套件的学生开发更广泛的应用程序。由于STFC的小额赠款，我们几乎完成了我们的GCSE学校包，以便在学校有一块CERN的兴奋可以在辐射工作中介绍，这是在所有GCSE科学课程覆盖。由于这个项目，我们学校的物理学有了巨大的发展，有180名学生参加了A级物理学，在英国大学参加物理学的学生中有0.5%到1%来自学校。去年去学习物理的女孩中有近2%来自我们。随着明年LUCID在太空中飞行，现在是时候将这个经过验证的项目的兴奋扩大到英国各地的学生。欧空局还在考虑LUCID 2和3的进一步飞行，基础设施将到位，以利用来自月球和火星的潜在数据。英国的合作将汇集社区的优势，使我们成为通过宇宙射线研究和数据分析参与和激励学生的世界领导者。
