Publish your results

Alternative communication online

Any group of students who have participated in a masterclass may make a report of their results. The report can be created and submitted on the masterclass day or up to one week after by Google form or, alternatively, by email. Once it is submitted and accepted, the report is listed in a reports table, which also appears below. Here are the steps:

  • Create your own report with at least some of the following:
    • Claim: What did you conclude from your masterclass measurement?
    • Evidence: Show relevant masterclass results (e.g. mass histogram from CIMA)
    • Reasoning: How did you come to your conclusion?
  • Post your report online or save it as a file of some sort (100 MB limit).
  • Make your report available via the Google form at https://forms.gle/KiScZ5j2zL3tiWan9 or by email. You will be asked for:
    • Institutional information on where the report comes from (no personal information about students)
    • Abstract
    • Report (document, poster, video, or other) - submit the URL or upload the file
    • One big question.
  • The actual report can be in any form that works for your group, as long as it can be put online. You can use these templates:
  • The first entry in the table is a sample with a report document.

Masterclass reports are encouraged but optional. Reports are strongly encouraged for masterclasses that do not participate in a videoconference.
