ND Science Advisory Council , 1 September 2000 R. Ruchti, QuarkNet Research Coverage There are 60 US universities and national laboratories involved in hadron collider physics research at Fermilab and CERN in four large experiments: DØ*, CDF at Fermilab CMS*, ATLAS at CERN *Notre Dame particle physicists are involved on these. ND Science Advisory Council , 1 September 2000 R. Ruchti, QuarkNet

ND Science Advisory Council , 1 September 2000 R. Ruchti, QuarkNet Motivation Particle physics experiments take a long time to build and operate. Typically 10-15 years. Particle physics experiments are expensive. A great deal of education and outreach activity takes place nationally, but is often incoherent in application. ND Science Advisory Council , 1 September 2000 R. Ruchti, QuarkNet

ND Science Advisory Council , 1 September 2000 R. Ruchti, QuarkNet Vision Give teachers a partnership in the research associated with the experiments. Reach into high schools through classroom transfer. Work for geographic and cultural balance. Operate the program for an extended period of time so that it can have impact (>5yr).

ND Science Advisory Council , 1 September 2000 R. Ruchti, QuarkNet Summary It has been an exciting period of growth for QuarkNet nationally and locally. We have worked extensively with 11 teachers and 15 high school students. The program should grow, now that the word is out. We are now in need of sustaining resources to manage the local program properly. ND Science Advisory Council , 1 September 2000 R. Ruchti, QuarkNet
