The latter half of this week saw your old humble correspondent visiting two rather different European labs. I arranged to work with QuarkNet and CMS physicist Tom McCauley at CERN and decided to visit Arne Schoenwald, Michael Walter, and Ulrike Behrens at DESY Zeuthen, just outside…

First, probing questions: When should I update my profile?  I knew you'd ask that. You should update your profile: any time there is a change in your contact information, school status, etc. if you get or give up a cosmic ray detector, in which case you should edit that part of your…

Spotlight on Dave Hoppert:  Dave is responsible for providing the cosmic ray muon detectors used by the QuarkNet community. This includes coordinating all the technical and logistical aspects of getting the data acquisition (DAQ) and GPS circuit boards produced, and assembling all the parts…

Hi folks, This is the first of series of occasional posts on the QuarkNet site about what I see and learn about particle physics, education, and plain interesting stuff during my time in Dresden, a historic city which sits on both sides of a nice stretch of the Elbe River.…

Spotlight on the Vanderbilt University Center: The center has always been very active in the cosmic ray program. This was a year of adjustment in three areas: Bill Gabela took over as lead mentor with Med Webster still active but stepping more into the background; a general need for updating…

The QuarkNet efforts at UW–Madison are led by the Wisconsin IceCube Astrophysics Center (WIPAC). Prof. Justin Vandenbroucke is the PI, and the team includes Prof. Jim Madsen, IceCube Associate Director for Education and Outreach, and Dr. Silvia Bravo, Outreach Specialist at WIPAC. The QuarkNet…
