| Title | Invisible explorers: investigating subatomic particles in the classroom |
| Description | Digital and hardware cosmic muon trigger for schools |
| Type Of Art | Artistic/Creative Exhibition |
| Year Produced | 2024 |
| Impact | Promoting STEM to girls before they choose their A level to increase their STEM intake. |

| Title | Particle Shrine |
| Description | Cosmic rays are high energy particles that shoot through space, colliding with molecules in the atmosphere and showering the Earth with other tiny particles such as muons and neutrinos. The installation takes live data from five cosmic ray detectors installed at Science Gallery and from the Super-Kamiokande neutrino observatory in Japan to transform these invisible particles into an audio-visual experience like no other. |
| Type Of Art | Artistic/Creative Exhibition |
| Year Produced | 2023 |
| Impact | Knowledge transfer to the general public. |
| Title | Subatomic |
| Description | A project about the subatomic world of cosmic rays. The project combines scientific research with artistic performance to analyse and visualise these high energy particles from outer space. |
| Type Of Art | Performance (Music, Dance, Drama, etc) |
| Year Produced | 2022 |
| Impact | General public is now aware of the existence of cosmic rays. |

| Description | T2K and Super-Kamiokande: Continuing publications of best results on neutrino oscillation analysis, improving the limit on CP violation. Icecube: We published papers regarding search for new physics SNO+: waterfilling continues and we published relevant papers. 3 students graduated during the time of the consolidated grant |
| Exploitation Route | This grant is for exploitation with experiments currently taking data. We managed to reach the best sensitivity results we could with the experimental data we analysis. Reducing the systematic errors and with more data we will be able to address the measurements we are seeking for. |
