Synopsis of the years activities and QuarkNet personnel, mostly this is the maintaining and lending of Cosmic Ray Muon Detectors to teachers and the week-long workshop in the summer. This year the workshop was the week of 19-23 June 2023 and in-person.  The attendance was pretty modest (4 people) for the 5-day workshop.  Bill Gabella hosted the meetings at Vanderbilt's Department of Physics and Astronomy with help from Nick Spurlock (graduate student), Sara Frederick (post-doc), and Diana Gigante (retired teacher).  Our workshop theme was videos and physics---creating animations, making and analyzing videos, and creating "YouTube-style" videos.

Workshop Information and Agenda

 

Some QuarkNet basics: 

Synopsis of the years activities and QuarkNet personnel, mostly this is the maintaining and lending of Cosmic Ray Muon Detectors to teachers and the week-long workshop in the summer. This year the workshop was the week of 20-24 June 2022 and in-person.  The attendance was poor (3 people) for the 5-day workshop, so a second 1-day workshop was organized on 27 July 2022 and was attended by 10 people, several new to the program.  Bill Gabella hosted the meetings and Ken Cecire and Jeremy Wegner visited and helped, as did Nick Spurlock a graduate student.

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
