oPAC invades YouTube
Fellows have continued producing outreach videos about their research projects and displaying a great deal of creativity. Targeted at different audiences, some are conceived as documentaries, some as commercials, and some as animated explanations of the concepts they work with.
Grazia Scognamiglio uses a very professional documentary style to introduce her institute and her work on Accelerator Mass Spectrometry at Centro Nacional de Aceleradores in Seville (https://youtu.be/G5jKA-UQas8). Blaine Lomberg, from University of Liverpool, addresses a younger audience, employing a combination of animations and real images to demonstrate in an accessible way the art of beam halo monitoring (http://youtu.be/On2_Xe-WP7E). Manuel Cargnelutti, from Instrumentation Technologies, adopts the format of a long commercial spot to convince us of the importance of a flexible platform to control our accelerators (https://youtu.be/wujbf7hpo38). Finally, if you ever wondered how Monte Carlo can improve your life, you can find the answer in Michal Jarosz’s animated video (https://youtu.be/7za1hnpDplU), and no, it doesn’t involve a visit to the casino.
These videos, and the rest of videos from the oPAC network are relayed through Carsten Welsch’s channel on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/user/QUASARGroup).
