  1. Info and Interesting ItemsKen Cecire

  2. The U.S. QuarkNet program • Over 500 U.S. high school teachers • Over 50 physicist mentors • 4 staff • National program • International reach QuarkNet is supported by the U.S. Dept. of Energy and National Science Foundation as well as the ATLAS and CMS collaborations.

  3. The U.S. QuarkNet program Student Investigations: • Cosmic Ray e-Lab • CMS e-Lab • Classroom activities, e.g. • Find the Top Quark mass • Calculate the Z mass (LHC) • CMS Masterclass • Summer research • Online activities with datasets • all use real data Teacher Opportunities: • CERN High School Teachers • 3 weeks at CERN • 5 teachers from U.S. • very competitive • QuarkNet Boot Camp • 1 week at Fermilab • 10-20 QuarkNet teachers • Cosmic Ray e-Lab workshop • 2-3 days • at your QuarkNet center • more

Virginia QuarkNet Center QuarkNet Staff: Tom Jordan Bob Peterson Kris Whelan Ken Cecire Tel: 574-631-3343 (O) Tel: 757-897-5296 (M) E-Mail: kcecire@nd.edu Virginia Mentors: Vassilis Vassilikopoulos, Hampton huphysics@hamptonu.edu Josh Erlich, William and Mary jxerli@wm.edu Phil Rubin, George Mason prubin@gmu.edu Also see: http://quarknet.fnal.gov/staff.shtml

  6. What’s new? • Standard Model looking good • Cool Event of the Week • result from LHCb • article in Ars Technica • Ask Jim about this…or save for Josh, Phil, Vassilis

  7. What’s new? • Masterclass will include Higgs candidates • ATLAS and CMS both! • Diphoton, 4 lepton, maybe even tau-tau • Do we need to talk about Masterclass arrangements and orientations? • What else?

  8. What’s new? • Higgs search investigation for students • Under development • Should be released soon • CMS e-Lab • More developments coming • Should HU-W&M-GMU have a workshop? • ATLAS Data Workshop • In beta
