A new release of ATLAS open data for education — •David Koch — LMU, Munich, Germany

The ATLAS Open Data project aims to provide data and tools to high-school, undergraduate and master students, as well as teachers and lecturers, to help educate them in physics analysis techniques used in experimental particle physics. Sharing data collected by the ATLAS experiment aims to generate excitement and enthusiasm for fundamental research, inspiring physicists of the future. The approach followed by the ATLAS Open Data & Tools Group is to not only publish recorded and simulated datasets but to also accompany the release of open data with high quality documentation in the form of tutorials, Jupyter Notebooks and interactive webpages to explore the data. The provided material is aimed at people with a wide variety of expertise, ranging from high-school students to teachers and the interested general public, to undergraduate and even master students of particle physics.

In the past, ATLAS has already released proton-proton collision data and associated simulated data at center-of-mass energies at 8TeV and 13TeV. These releases were eagerly received by the community and public.

In this talk I will present the status and plans of the ALTAS Open Data & Tools Group to publish a new release of ATLAS Open Data. The new release will include new, larger datasets that will allow for more advanced analysis techniques such as machine learning, as well as a revised web appearance and educational software and tools.
