Physics@WOMAD 2016

WOMAD （http://womad.co.uk/）是从20世纪80年代初开始举办的文化庆典。它跨越了大部分文化，但除了环境谈判之外，它通常缺乏科学性。他们的计划是在2016年英国音乐节的一个专用帐篷里播放18小时的节目，节目名称为Physcis@WOMAD。这个提议是在关于发起CERN@WOMAD的长期讨论中产生的，首先在英国，然后在世界各地的其他WOMAD音乐节上。考虑到可用的时间和目前CERN的外展重组，兰开斯特大学与Real World的迈克·拉奇（Mike Large）牵头，于2016年7月在英国Physics@WOMAD提出了一项试点计划。该项目将以STFC科学为主导，但将跟随兰开斯特大学的参与，因此将涉及更广泛的天文学和空间科学。目的是让这个试点项目在2017年及以后引起欧洲核子研究中心的全面参与。这种更广泛的参与可能会衍生出世界各地的姊妹WOMAD活动。建议的结构是每周五至周日的12-18:00进行三节课。每次会议的前两个小时将适合儿童，其余时间将面向更广泛的观众。讲座将持续30-40分钟，包括互动，然后是提问和讨论时间。如果天气允许，我们还会在晚上进行观星活动。该活动将有一个专用的帐篷，大约有200个座位和一个舞台，舞台上方有数字屏幕。我们打算有一些展示项目，包括在黑暗区域的云室，用电视摄像机将活动转播给更多的观众。我们正在与LHCb的成员讨论重新使用他们为皇家学会夏季展览准备的展台的某些方面，并且还将研究在2013年和2014年重新使用希格斯粒子和新物理RSSE摊位上的物品。

WOMAD (http://womad.co.uk/) is a cultural festival that has been running since the early 1980s. It spans most of the culture, but with the exception of environmental talks has generally lacked science. The proposal is to run 18 hours of programming in a dedicated tent in the 2016 UK Festival with the title Physcis@WOMAD. The proposal has arisen out of a longer discussion about initiating CERN@WOMAD, first in the UK and then at the other WOMAD Festivals worldwide. Given the available time and the current reorganisation of outreach at CERN, Lancaster has taken the lead with Mike Large of Real World to propose a pilot Physics@WOMAD in the UK in July 2016. The programme will be dominated by STFC science, but follow the Lancaster involvements and so be broader, involving Astronomy and Space science. The intention is for this pilot to lead to a full engagement from CERN in 2017 and onward. This broader involvement could spin-out to the sister WOMAD events worldwide.The proposed structure is 3 sessions running Friday-Sunday from 12-18:00. The first two hours of each session will be child-friendly, the remainder looking to a broader audience. The talks will be 30-40 mins with interaction, followed by questions and turn-around time. We will also run stargazing sessions at night, weather permitting.The event will have its own dedicated tent with ~200 seats and a stage, with digital screens above a stage. We intend to have some display items, including a cloud chamber in a dark area, with a TV camera to relay the activity to a larger audience. We are in discussion with members of LHCb about reusing some aspects of the stand they are preparing for the Royal Society Summer Exhibition, and will also investigate reusing items from the Higgs and new physics RSSE stalls in 2013 and 2014.
