QuarkNet  Workshop 2020
 

Ionization loss in the Belle II Central Drift Chamber

Our meeting will take place over Zoom during the morning and afternoon
on Wed.  July 22.   We will do our best to adhere to times and flow.  If we
need more time  we will meet again for a few hours on a second day.

9am 
Belle II Particle ID talk  -  Jake
    Jake will focus on particle id with the Belle II Central drift chamber
     and the TOP Cherenkov detector.  How atoms are ionized?  What is
     Cherenkov light?

     You can download the Belle II VR program to run on your own machine.
     You can find the details here:
     https://www1.phys.vt.edu/~piilonen/VR/.

     If you are interested in getting a demo with a VR headset
     (much more impressive), I have one available and there is another in
     the Ole Miss Idea Lab (below the library on campus).

10am 
QuarkNet Refresher - Ken Cesire
    Official news from QuarkNet

11am
PID exercise  - Lucien, all
    An exercise on particle id will be presented.  We will then break away and
    solve our particle physics puzzle.   Particle ID

1pm
CRD  -   MSMS, David, all
    We will discuss the  “commissioning” the Cosmic Ray Detector at MSMS.
    William update us on his progress.  We will discuss the setup for performing
     a measurement of the muon lifetime

2pm
Other practicums - teachers
    Practicums are small projects that students can do in class or at home to investigate
    physics principles.  As a goal lets come up with a few that we can share on Kinematics
    and Mechanics?  Energy?  Sound and Waves?

9am - 4pm   Fall Classes, Chat rooms, etc. 
    Jake will help us understand chat-rooms and other possibilities with Zoom
    as the meeting flows.
