Publish your results

Alternative communication online

Any masterclass group or subset of that group, e.g. the students from one school that attended the masterclass, may put together their own 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 email. The report is made available in the table 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 document of some sort (100 MB limit). 
  • Make your report to QuarkNet via the Google form at https://forms.gle/KiScZ5j2zL3tiWan9. You will be asked for:
    • Institutional information on where the report comes from (no personal information about students)
    • Abstract
    • Report
    • One big question.
  • None of the responses is required. However, insubstantial entries may be deleted. Any entries may be edited by QuarkNet staff for content or deleted at their discretion.
  • The first entry in the table is a sample report. You may use it to help you fashion your report but you do not have to. In this case, the report is online but is also uploaded as a PDF. You do not need to do both.

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