Presentation Transcript


  1. In 2007, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will begin to generate opposing 7 TeV proton beams.

  2. What might 14 TeV collision yield? • Find the Higgs? • Supersymmetry? • Gravitons? • Exotic particles?

  3. First, a look at CERN: image\cern2min.rm

  4. How will we respond as Physics teachers? • Does it matter? • What will we do? • What will QuarkNet do?

  5. The QuarkNet website: a good start http://quarknet.fnal.gov

  6. The QuarkNet Cosmic Ray eLah is a prototype for CMS and ATLAS eLabs.

  7. Can we get this sort of student/teacher analysis of LHC data?

  8. Beth Marchant and I went to the CMS meeting at CERN in search of… • Ideas • Facts • People We found them all…

  9. We got the ball rolling: • Weblog QN Postings at http://quarknet.blogspot.com • ATLAS Images at http://www.jlab.org/~cecire/ATLASimage/ATLASimage.ppt

  10. ATLAS: A Toroidal Lhc ApparatuS • Largest detector • Assembled 100 m underground • Characterized by its giant toroidal magnets

  11. In the cavern… December 2005 July 2005

  12. CMS: the Compact Muon Solenoid • Most massive • Still above ground • Will be lowered in sections • Nice place for a party?

  13. More about CMS…

  14. Tell us about CMS, Beth…

  15. What do you think, Lucien?

  16. People… Dan Karmgard, UND and CMS (QN-PI), with raclette Silvia Schuh, ATLAS

  17. Other sights in and around CERN… Beth in CERN Restaurant #1

  18. La Pomme de la Morte, St. Genis

  19. The Bear the blows bubbles in the shopping mall of Val Thoiry

  20. And in Zurich… The Borg The view from Uetliberg

  21. Where do we go from here? • How might the Puerto Rico QN center respond to the LHC? • What would help your class? • What would interest your students? • What would you like to see from QN?
