Vanderbilt Summer Meeting 2022

Overall plan for the week

• Mon 20 June - talks
• Tue 21 June - using the CRMDs, speed of muons, maybe analyze "muon decay data" already collected 
• Wed 22 June - Higgs@10 (see below)
• Thu 23 June - CRMDs, analyzing triangle pulses, looking at the GPS raw , DAQ board
• Fri 24 June -  spillover from previous days, administration, de-brief, fun activities outside

Additional short workshop

• Wed 27 July, Stevenson Center 6322. 9 am to 4 pm
• Agenda:
  • speed-of-muons with the CMRDs
  • (possibly) muon decay
  • QuarkNet site, the Vandy QuarkNet site(s), and Google colab
  • drop balls and slinkies - film and analyze
  • Discuss how to use some of the above in the classroom
