Info and Interesting ItemsKen Cecire
• 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.
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
The U.S. QuarkNet program
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

• 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
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?
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
