PPEP: the Particle Physics Exhibits Project
A National Resource of Particle Physics Demonstrations and Displays
PPEP is a ‘library’ of demonstrations, interactive models and displays for particle physicists throughout the UK to take particle physics to the public. It is designed to enable interactive presentation of particle physics at all kinds of public event, from demonstration lectures at schools to full-scale exhibitions
The PPEP project has closed and it is no longer possible to book an exhibit online. Status of existing bookings continues to be available through this link
Please note: The exhibits are for loan only to members of the Particle Physics UK community. Members of the public, including school teachers, who are interested in seeing any of the exhibits in action should contact the nearest institution with a particle physics research group. You can find here a list of contacts who arrange talks in schools and other venues.
PPEP was established through a PPARC National Award for the Public Understanding of Science and Technology, awarded to a team from the following institutes:
University of Birmingham
University of Bristol
University of Edinburgh
University of Oxford
Rutherford Appleton Laboratory
University College, London
The PPEP team gratefully acknowledges additonal contributions from Queen Mary and Westfield College and Royal Holloway, University of London
