Speaker
Description
Light sabers, hyper speed and space fights – how do they all connect with the latest accelerator research?
Since 2017 Professor Welsch has hosted a number of Physics of Star Wars events in the UK. He used the iconic films to explain applications of accelerator R&D to science, society and commerce. Each event reached hundreds of people on the day, and Millions around the world through media coverage. This has helped improve public awareness and understanding of accelerator technology.
This talk will cover these highly successful outreach events, discuss the structure adopted for diverse audiences, and present the impact they have had and how this was assessed.
Funding Agency
The events have received funding from STFC and the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program.
