Results and Impact Over 15000 people visited the exhibition over the 7 days. Myself and people in my group have been participating for the whole week to the event, demonstrating to the audience.

Pictures of the demonstrator developed by the Sussex group (the SUSY softies) which have been posted on the P&A Department's twitter page have been the most re-tweeted pictures during the week of the exhibition. The 1000 'knit your own neutralino' kits (again developed by the Sussex group to knit one of the SUSY softies) have been hugely requested by all visitors, and have all been given away in the first three days of the exhibition.
