• I was very impressed by all the presentations at ArgonneGood Job!

• Just trying to indicate what I thought would be important to say in your poster and final report

• Trying to foresee and have you prepared for questions at your poster session

• Tried to give constructive suggestions, not criticismno “grade” attached!

• I’m happy to discuss my suggestions with youor decipher my handwriting!

On Tuesday, I sent mark-up of your 3 min ANL talks

Format– Title page or header:

• Title of your project/presentation• Your name, home institution, Lee Teng Internship• Mentor’s Name, Division or Department• Date of poster presentation or report• Nice to add your institution’s logo (e.g. my MC)

– Plots, figures, graphs, tables, and photos are fine,• Make sure they are big enuf to read• Axes labels, numbers, units (cm, seconds, volts, %, etc.)• Remember descriptive captions (stand alone)

– Equations – big enuf to read, define the terms & acronyms– Appendices – for back up materials, raw data, etc., if needed– Final Report: each page should have page number

LTI-2018 reports were 7-20 pages long – take what you need

Demonstrate that you understand what your project is all about • Title (snappy and interesting)• Author & Mentor (and affiliation) list – Lee Teng Internship• Abstract (stand alone summary – will persuade others to read)• Body should include (outline only for poster, can’t say much):

– Introduction and Motivation– Why your project topic is important or interesting– How your project fits-into the bigger picture:

apparatus, experiment, or accelerator– What problem(s) you are trying to solve or overcome– What is your particular contribution & what you learned– What is the outcome of this project/research

• Acknowledgements (thank you)• References – see Phys Rev Style & Notation Guide (later)

Content – what your poster & report should say:
