LHC Masterclass: overview of people working

International Masterclasses> 80 Institutes, 23 countries, has huge inertia!Covering LHC as a whole

> 2011: ATLAS+CMS idea: 2 measurements for choice (e.g. W and Z)> 2012: single days for ALICE? LHC-b?

EPPOG projectWorking group “IntMasterlasses@LHC“

Learning with ATLAS @ CERN (EC project 2009/2010)Institutes in Sweden ,Greece, UK, Austria, LBL (+ evaluation in Germany)

HYPATIA (Christine Kourkoumelis et al)MINERVA (Monika Wielers, Pete Watkins et al)AMELIA (Michael Barnett, Joao Pequenao et al)

Local Experiences existing see next pageCMS

? ALICE

Strangeness enhancement see Yiota’s talkLHC-b

Thoughts in progressOther

OGRE (ROOT-based, any experiment, very advanced)Globus event display (probably not suited for Masterclasses)

First local experiences with complete LHC masterclass

UK, MINERVA (Monika Wielers, RAL; Pete Watkins, Birmingham)

RAL: measure the ratio W/Z plus a hidden H--> ZZRuns smoothly, students especially love the Higgs part

Using Atlantis is very easy, students like that we use the same tools as in the real experiment

ID of too many particles a bit difficult for those with too few HEP background

Depending on time, more complicated measurements could be add

Athens, HYPATIA (Christine Kourkoumelis)As far as I know: students‘ experience with Z and HZZ

Stockholm (Erik Johansson)Starting with K0 identification with *real* ATLAS data

Needs special relativity, invariant mass, lifetime

In DetailDeveloping the tasks

Konrad Jende, Dresden (Didactics Ph.D student)

René Schulz, Dresden (student teacher thesis til June 2010)preselecting the LHC event samples for W and Z path

Julia Eckert (special high school thesis til January 2011)test René‘s preselection on real data

Supervision: Michael Kobel, Gesche Pospiech (Prof. Didactics)
