  1. Education and Outreach QuarkNet Randy Ruchti USCMS Education Coordinator USCMS Annual Meeting, Florida State University 10-11 May 2002

  2. E and O Activities • Education and Outreach Booklet for all of HEP • Sessions on Education and Outreach at DPF2002 • QuarkNet Project, now in its fourth year • REU/RET at CERN (Northeastern/Michigan) • USCMS Fellows • Visitor Gallery at SX5 • New Directions R. Ruchti, Notre Dame Education and Outreach and QuarkNet USCMS Annual Meeting, FSU, 10-11 May 2002

  3. QuarkNet • Partners high school teachers with particle physicists who act as mentors. • Teachers get summer research experience. • Centers are established where additional teachers, students and physicists are included in the program. • Program is funded by US NSF/MPS, NSF/ESIE and DOE • Preliminary program 1998; Full program 1999 + • Up to 60 centers are planned over a 5-year period. • The proponents for this idea and project: • M. Bardeen (Fermilab Education Office) • R. M. Barnett (LBNL, Atlas Education Coordinator) • O. Keith Baker (Hampton Univ) • R. Ruchti (Notre Dame, USCMS Education Coordinator) R. Ruchti, Notre Dame Education and Outreach and QuarkNet USCMS Annual Meeting, FSU, 10-11 May 2002

  8. QuarkNet Websites QuarkNet Homepage http://quarknet.fnal.gov/ Notre Dame QuarkNet Center http://www.nd.edu/~quarknet R. Ruchti, Notre Dame Education and Outreach and QuarkNet USCMS Annual Meeting, FSU, 10-11 May 2002

  9. REU Research Experiences for Undergraduates Funded by NSF US programs National Any physics area US program at CERN Northeastern Univ. HEP specific US program at CERN Univ. of Michigan HEP specific RET Research Experiences for Teachers Funded by NSF US programs Any physics area US program at CERN Northeastern Univ. HEP specific REHS Research Experiences for HS Students Pilot program at Notre Dame Support from D0, CMS, ND Initially HEP specific Intend any physics area REU, RET, REHS R. Ruchti, Notre Dame Education and Outreach and QuarkNet USCMS Annual Meeting, FSU, 10-11 May 2002

  10. Follow on to the first year of QuarkNet to give HS teachers an in-depth 8-week summer research experience. Typically several teachers supported for the summer. Piloted in previous summers. This year 4 Fellowships TTU FIT Iowa OleMiss It would be good to expand this to 6 in future years. USCMS Fellows R. Ruchti, Notre Dame Education and Outreach and QuarkNet USCMS Annual Meeting, FSU, 10-11 May 2002

  11. Effort led by Dave Barney. One of the most popular spots on the CERN laboratory tour for visitors. A mezzanine location at the assembly hall. Currently under development. We have provided a cosmic ray detector. Should have additional video camera plus display screen. Seeking additional detector items for display: Megatile with WLS fibers. Optical decoder unit. Other detector components. Visitor Gallery at SX5 R. Ruchti, Notre Dame Education and Outreach and QuarkNet USCMS Annual Meeting, FSU, 10-11 May 2002

  12. New Directions • Update USCMS Website education items. • Post talks – with sort at various levels. • Develop a USCMS Brochure. • Issues at CERN Project Office for USCMS. • ………New ideas and suggestions welcome R. Ruchti, Notre Dame Education and Outreach and QuarkNet USCMS Annual Meeting, FSU, 10-11 May 2002
