Creating a Group Account in the eLab
These are the instructions to create the group account, Eclipse#### for your experiment. The #### is your DAQ number.
Updated Fixed Telescope 18.june.2017
This is the updated instructions for the fixed cosmic ray telescope, including opaque bag over the counters to reduce light leaks.
Updated Tracking Telescope 18.june.2017
Here is the updated version of the telescope. We have included minor changes and the use of opaque bags around the counters to reduce problems of light leaks.
Cosmic Ray Telescope FIXED plan 20-May-2017
Cosmic Ray Telescope TRACKING plan 20-May-2017
May 20 Fellows what we did ---now the 21st
Discussed expanding and improving masterclasses.
brainstorming on coding possiblilities for level 4 LHC actitivies
Poked around (found bugs) in CMS e-Lab. Brainstorming organizing of using the new interface in workshops and explorations.
still need
CIMA
and the rest of the agenda
assistance
30 hrs in a day
Day 2
still working on the specs.....but did video conference with Tom McCauley and Joel Griffith on CIMA, ISpy, CMS elab and data sets....talked about Adam's Level 4 activity with IT team
Still need to do lots of stuff with neutrinos
Ligo----discussed topics for the data strand....specific ideas for specific ideas activities to be worked on ..in future
Started coverage plans for summer work
did not look at templeates for workshops
need to do
Workshop coverage,
Templetate update for CMS elab
Neutrino MasterCalss
Complete Ligo activities
W2D2
Workshop "must do" items 2017
This document is for Mentors, Lead Teachers and Facilitators.
This summer, please provide time for teachers at your QuarkNet program to do the following: (Some workshops have more requirements.)
Survey:
- 2019 QuarkNet Teacher Survey - https://www.surveymonkey.com/
r/DHP9N8R - to be completed by ALL teachers in all summer programs, workshops, institutes, etc., at any center
- complete before end of summer workshop
- takes 15-20 minutes
QuarkNet Website:
- Update personal profiles on the website with this guide - by everyone. (Tiny URL - http://tinyurl.com/qn15prfl.)
- Confirm DAQ number(s) AND how they used the detector with students this year - by people with detectors.
All teachers and mentors must be members of the QuarkNet website and members of their center group on the site. They must keep their information on the site current and know how to find their group.
- Bring in new members and new e-Lab users.
- Teachers register on the Google form - https://goo.gl/forms/8MQT7C42zHMzAhzA3.
- Alert Ken Cecire and Shane Wood.
- Follow up with the teacher to be sure their registration is complete.
Sign-in:
Teachers must sign in each day. The sign-in sheet should, minimally, have spaces for the name and signature of each teacher as well as time in and time out. Send the completed sign-in sheets to Anne Zakas. Originals are preferred; mail to:
Anne Zakas
QuarkNet Center at Notre Dame
Department of Physics
225 Nieuwland Science Hall

Alternatively, scan and e-mail to Anne.

LHC, Neutrino, and LIGO goals and objectives, May 2017
Page updated August 2019.
Objectives for:
LHC fellows workshop goals, 20-21 May
In their breakout sessions, the LHC fellows will:
- Create design specifications for enhanced version of CIMA and iSpy for the CMS masterclass.
- Create speciofications for a neutrino data strand and a neutrino masterclass.
- Create specifications for a LIGO data strand.
- Make a plan to increase the number of International Masterclasses in the U.S., especially ATLAS.
- Plan coverage of Data and e-Lab workshops for which the group is responsible.
- Update workshop plans and templates, with special emphasis on the CMS e-Lab. - temp URL https://i2u2-dev.crc.nd.edu/elab/cms/
- Start on Level 4 for CMS.
Data Workshop objectives
Participating teachers will be able to:
-
Apply classical physics principles to reduce or explain the observations in data investigations
-
Identify and describe ways that data are organized for determining any patterns that may exist in the data.
-
Create, organize and interpret data plots; make claims based on evidence and provide explanations; identify data limitations.
-
Develop a plan for taking students from their current level of data use to subsequent levels using activities and/or ideas from the workshop.
CMS e-Lab Workshop objectives
Participating teaches will be able to:
- Identify particles colliding and emerging from collisions at the LHC from CMS data.
- Interpret the physical meaning of plots created from CMS data in light of conservation rules (energy, momentum, charge).
- Ask and answer questions about the physics of high energy collisions using CMS data.
LIGO e-Lab Workshop objectives
Participating teachers will be able to:
- Plot and interpret data recorded by LIGO seismic instruments; address limitations in the data.
- Make claims based on evidence from LIGO data and provide reasoning.
- Describe the connections between LIGO seismic data and classical physics wave concepts.
- Explain the importance of LIGO seismic data in a gravitiational wave search.
- Develop a plan to implement material from the workshop in an educational setting.
