Abstract

The outreach project aims to popularize the research done in the context of the Young Researcher Grant Phase 2 'Standard Model Tests: Precision QCD and Muon g-2'. This will be achieved through a series of short videos. The videos will cover introductory aspects of particle physics - of more general interest - as well as slightly more advanced topics, along with recent results obtained by our research group. The team will consist of a Computational Physics student from IFSC-USP and another from the Image and Sound major at UFSCar. With this, we hope to produce high-quality videos from both the scientific and technical point of view.
