Citizen Science allows you, whoever you may be, to engage directly in the scientific process itself.This project is allows you to analyse the data from the Large Hadron Collider, and to identify features which may be indicative of particles or processes not yet known to science. By studying images of collisions from the ATLAS experiment you can observe the debris from the collisions, and search for long-lived particles which may (or may not) be being produced in the High Energy Collisions at the LHC.The project is being run in conjunction with the "Zooiverse" citizen science alliance, which already has a user base of more than a million users.This fellowship allow Prof Barr, a researcher working on the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, to help with the design, implementation, release and evaluation of this, the first Large Hadron Collider citizen science project.

公民科学允许你，无论你是谁，直接参与科学过程本身。这个项目允许你分析来自大型强子对撞机的数据，并识别可能指示粒子或尚未为科学所知的过程的特征。通过研究来自ATLAS实验的碰撞图像，你可以观察到碰撞产生的碎片，并寻找可能（或可能不会）在大型强子对撞机的高能碰撞中产生的长寿命粒子。该项目正在与“Zooiverse”公民科学联盟合作，该联盟已经拥有超过100万的用户基础。Barr教授是大型强子对撞机（LHC） ATLAS实验的研究人员，这项奖学金允许他帮助设计、实施、发布和评估这一首个大型强子对撞机（LHC）公民科学项目。
