Experimental High Energy Physics Summer School For High Schools

Abstract

Experimental High Energy Physics Summer School for High Schools, (Liseler İçin Deneysel Yüksek Enerji Fiziği Yaz Okulu - lidyef2018) was held between 9-16 September 2018 at Boğaziçi University, Turkey, with financial support from TÜBİTAK under the 4004 grant 118B491. Out of nearly 700 (11th and 12th grade) applicants, 30 had been selected from all around Turkey. Students were introduced to the fundamentals of high energy physics and performed experiments that demonstrated the techniques of this field, such as a salad-bowl electrostatic accelerator, and a cloud chamber. Here we report on the planning, implementation and the outcomes of the school that can serve as a template for similar activities in the future.
