The Masterclasses in North America, Winter-Spring 2007 Kris Whelan Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Ken Cecire Hampton University

MEMO TO: Indiana Data Analysis Team FROM: Virtual LHC Center RE: Identification of Z-bosons in ATLAS and CMS data from the Large Hadron Collider first run, scheduled to start November 2007 [make that July 2008] DATE: 15 March 2007

EPPOG, Lisbon, May Previous work by Long Island Data Group, 2006 Six students and a teacher from Ward Melville High School, Setauket NY Analyzed DELPHI data Compared with results in videocon with CERN and student groups from Poland, Greece, Slovakia Good results: more data analysis needed in 2007

EPPOG, Lisbon, May What will happen in the videoconference You will give your branching ratios Groups from Germany, Greece, Portugal, and the US will compare data Discussion of results – have good questions and comments ready! CERN Moderator: Dave Barney, CMS Physicist Masterclass “Fun” Quiz  A section of the LHC Dr. Barney 

EPPOG, Lisbon, May Masterclass in North America and beyond Student Masterclasses: Notre Dame Cincinatti Tallahassee (FSU) Brookhaven Baltimore (JHU) Richmond (no videocon) Teacher Masterclass: Fermilab Not exactly in N. America: Johannesburg (Wits)

EPPOG, Lisbon, May Unique to QuarkNet QuarkNet-run teacher Masterclass at Fermilab; see article in Fermilab Today, 30 March 2007 Kudos to Dan Karmgard (Notre Dame) and Hector Mendez (Puerto Rico) Wiki to guide teachers and mentors Kris and Ken travelled to visit most institutes Seeking to adapt for a true North American Masterclass

EPPOG, Lisbon, May Results of US Teacher Survey Survey: 5 positive statements about Masterclass to which teachers respond from “Strongly Agree” to “Strongly Disagree” 4 of 7 teachers returned surveys 1.The Masterclass helped my students to better understand how science is done. 2.My students learned interesting particle physics in the Masterclass. 3.My students learned useful things about relatively large datasets. 4.My students enjoyed the Masterclass. 5.The Masterclass increased my students’ interest in physics.

EPPOG, Lisbon, May Results of US Student Pre/Post Quiz 5 multiple choice questions on quiz 1 class of 17 students took the quiz Questions not used on Masterclass Quiz 1.Particle mass 2.Particle energy 3.Weak force 4.Experimental statistics 5.Branching ratios

EPPOG, Lisbon, May Teacher Comments Reliable videoconference connectivity was an issue Wished for more classroom-to-classroom interaction in the videoconference Overall: very positive experience for teachers and students

EPPOG, Lisbon, May Overall Impressions QuarkNet Staff, Teachers, Mentors enthusiastic New ideas were generated (online course on LHC, fiery union of Masterclass and e- Lab, etc) Students had a great time…Silvia was shocked at the raw enthusiasm of the Cincinatti group Videoconference is a great motivator and capstone to the Masterclass Let’s do it again!

EPPOG, Lisbon, May What’s Down the Road? First North American Masterclass: Fall 2007? LEP-based QuarkNet Teacher Fellows develop LHC “wrapper” and explore new ways to enhance inquiry basis Participants outside NA invited (limited numbers) Moderated from a US site Beyond… LHC-based Masterclasses Span the globe!
