Presentation Transcript

  1. Proceedings discussion.. background • We have had (extended) discussions within ATLAS on the (relatively low) usefulness of printed/online proceedings, compared to the (relatively large) effort to review and publish them and would like to discuss a common view where we might change the culture such that the talk slides are adopted as the means to communicate info. from a conference...

  2. Proceedings.. ..Slides • Proceedings are no longer a source of new information to the community • Proceedings are late and take time to review • Write Once Read Never = WORN out? • Individual recognition can be gained through the talk invitation and the slides on the Web • These are more timely requiring less time to review • A better way to stimulate and facilitate international cooperation?

  3. The future role of proceedings? • Propose that we discourage the use of transparencies • Emphasise the use of slides on the web as the record • Recognise it will take some time to change any ‘culture’ • If the CERN experiments agree then we may be able to influence Conference organisers? • How? Via SIPB? -> IUPAP?? ( whose mission is “To stimulate and facilitate international cooperation in physics..”)

  4. Changing a ‘culture’ takes time.. July Revolution (1830) July Revolution (2012) Q: is it the Higgs? Q: was the event significant? “It is too early to say”Zhou Enlai (probably talking about the 1968 Paris Revolution and not the first [or second, July] French Revolution)
