Reminder: What It Is
Concept
“24-hour shift” for simple measurement
Inspired by International Cosmic Day
What we did
Very similar ATLAS and CMS measurements
Students measure theta and phi for dimuon events, make 20-deg. bins, plot histograms.
Base at schools; reduce burden to IMC tutors.
Existing legacy online data sets
Pilot year, about 20 groups

Set out to have “shifts” at four labs; geo location became unimportant.
IPPOG members recruited teachers.

Comments by teachers
It was nice for the students to have a deeper understanding of theta and eta in regards to the particle collisions. It definitely opened their eyes to new trends in the data.
I think it was a valuable experience for all our students. The interest in particle physics really increased.
W2D2 and masterclass are similar activities for us. Because of our busy schedule I will do only one of them.
Great starter for longer MC

8. Where to go from here and…
Questions?
Comments?
Do we scale up and make this “a thing”?
Or do we call it a good experience and keep the materials for other use?

Many thanks!
Great, thoughtful moderators
Teachers worldwide; it was a real partnership.
