  4. People Who Have Worked on Milagro • Postdocs: 14 (8 LANL postdocs) • Graduate students: 24 (all spent time at LANL) • PhDs granted: 14 (all spent time at LANL) • UG students: 74 (7 LANL students, 24 others spent time at LANL) • High School students: 4 (1 LANL) • High School teachers: 3 (1 LANL) Jordan Goodman HAWC Review - December 2007

  5. Milagro Students & Post-doc go to: VERITAS HESS GLAST Swift Auger IceCube HiRes CELESTE LIGO We get Post-docs from: Super-K Whipple/VERITAS HEGRA HEP/NP experiments Amanda Tibet CGRO Haleakala HiRes Where do our people go to/come from? Jordan Goodman HAWC Review - December 2007

  6. Milagro Outreach Activities • Quarknet • US Physics Olympics • High School Programs • Summer Girls • Question of the week Jordan Goodman HAWC Review - December 2007

  7. Quarknet • Milagro was the first Particle Astrophysics experiment • Mentor-physicists • Jordan Goodman • Kara Hoffman • Lead Teachers • Yuri Achille • Kevin Martz They spent time at Milagro Jordan Goodman HAWC Review - December 2007

  8. %US POP. 80% 4% 14.4% 13% Notes: US percentage does not add to 100% because Hispanics are an ethnic group. Approx 60% of US Hispanics are of Mexican origin. Jordan Goodman HAWC Review - December 2007

  9. Mexican Division of Particles and Fields summer program run by Heriberto Castilla • A competition for students, undergraduate of the last two year or graduate students of the first year. We select the best according to academic capacity • HAWC is planning to have one or two students this year. Jordan Goodman HAWC Review - December 2007

  10. Summary Slide • Obvious next step • Ready to go • Exciting physics • Timely • Cost Jordan Goodman HAWC Review - December 2007
