I gather some writers interested in my science communication project would appreciate some story ideas to help develop their own, so in this post I will give some of my thoughts on how to turn my given particle physics research topics into a story. I would, however, remind those thinking of participating that your don’t have to follow this. If you have a totally different idea

Here’s an appropriately cute short description of the T2K particle physics experiment in Japan, which creates a beam of neutrinos at the accelerator complex at Tokai, and sends it 295km through the Earth to a detector at Kamioka, in order to study the weirdness of neutrino oscillations.

Yearling adventure in which our pegasus hero discovers a mysterious object that appears to be shooting some sort of beam, but while it is evidently drawing a lot of power, it appears to have no effect whatsoever on anything in its path. Daring enlists the help of

If Imposing Sovereigns II isn't in your court, you may be interested in an alternate proposal. Pineta isn't so much commissioning stories about particle physics topics as he's offering a bounty on them, at 25 pounds per offered kiloword. (Over US$30!) Details here for those interested.
