论文摘要
国际粒子物理外展小组（IPPOG）的外展活动国际大师班（IMC）已将尖端的粒子物理研究带到了15年以上。所有四个LHC实验都参与了包括爱丽丝（Alice）的活动，该实验对重型离子碰撞的研究进行了优化。重型离子物理学正在积极地为IMC贡献，包括新的发展，包括实验测量和社会应用，例如用离子治疗癌症。特别是，爱丽丝提供了与用于表征产生的夸克 - 胶子等离子体特性的主要观察物相关的三个MC测量值。从历史上看，这些MC测量是由几个爱丽丝群体从第一个群体继承而来的独立开发的。由于所有这些都基于根夏娃的软件包，因此将它们集成到共同框架中的项目。 Alice现在提供了一个易于使用的应用程序，该应用程序在Linux，MacOS和Windows上首次汇编。然后，根据当前的IPPOG目标，以提高IMC计划的全球覆盖范围和范围，对粒子物理的医学应用进行了新开发的测量，粒子疗法大师班（PTMC）是在IMC2020计划中引入的。它是Matrad的简化版本，Matrad是一种基于MATLAB的工具包，用于计算体内剂量沉积，并允许使用不同的方式计划放射疗法并突出离子治疗的好处。
International MasterClasses (IMC), an outreach activity of the International Particle Physics Outreach Group (IPPOG), has been bringing cutting-edge particle physics research to schoolchildren for over 15 years now. All four LHC experiments participate in the event, including ALICE, the experiment optimised for the study of heavy-ion collisions. Heavy-ion physics is actively contributing to IMC with new developments including experimental measurements but also applications for society, such as treatment of cancer with ions. In particular, ALICE provides three MC measurements related to the main observables used to characterize the properties of the produced Quark-Gluon Plasma. Historically, those MC measurements were developed independently, inheriting from the first one, by several ALICE groups. Since all of them are based on the ROOT EVE package, a project to integrate them into a common framework was undertaken. ALICE delivers now a single and easy-to-use application, compiled under Linux, MacOS, and, for the first time, Windows. Then, in line with current IPPOG goals to increase the global reach and scope of the IMC programme a newly developed measurement on medical applications of particle physics, the Particle Therapy MasterClass (PTMC) was introduced in the IMC2020 programme. It is a simplified version of matRad, a MATLAB-based toolkit for calculation of dose deposition in the body and allows for planning of radiotherapy using different modalities and highlighting the benefits of treatment with ions.
