Abstract

Scientific dissemination has become an increasingly important and present element in scientific research, both for assisting in the scientific and technological formation of the lay public in general as a way of accounting to society about the public resources used in these researches. The goal of this scholarship is to disseminate the area of nuclear and particles physics, mainly the physical concepts involved in this project and technological developments resulting from the experimental activities.
