Dortmund Celebration of Charm: celebrating 50 years of experimental charm physics — Johannes Albrecht, •James Andrew Gooding, Dominik Mitzel, Donata Osthues, and Luca Toscano — TU Dortmund University, Dortmund, Germany
In 2024 the particle physics community celebrates 50 years of experimental charm physics, culminating in the 50th anniversary of the J/ψ meson discovery. At TU Dortmund, this takes the form of the Dortmund Celebration of Charm, a year-long outreach programme celebrating the rich history of charm physics and the charm research taking place in Dortmund within the LHCb experiment. This programme consists of two components: a wider social media campaign throughout the year to highlight key moments in charm over the last 50 years, and local in-person events. Both components aim to reach a broad range of audiences including university students, school children and the general public.
This contribution discusses the ongoing and upcoming charm outreach activities at TU Dortmund. Additionally, this contribution serves as a forum to discuss best practices for such activities with the German particle physics community.
