Members: • Kate Shaw• Marzena Lapka • Michael Hauschild• Uta Bilow
Tasks:• evaluate feedback • work on further improvement
of material and concept for CERN-VC
• Training for moderators
Presentation on the WebPhysics content• Update of measurements, amount varies!• Translations by IPPOG members (ATLAS: translation tool)• Deadlines! (see approval doc)
4. Each measurement has to provide a package with program and datasets for the IMC website before Jan 15. If translations by IPPOG members are requested the deadline is Nov 15.5. Guidelines for local organizers and material for moderators have to be provided by Jan 31.
Material for local organisators / moderators (stored in various places)• Instructions for local org. www.physicsmasterclasses.org/index.php?

FNAL-based Masterclasses 2013
ATLAS • 8 institutes in U.S.
• 4 institutes outside U.S.
• All did Z measurement.
CMS • 12 institutes in U.S.• 5 institutes outside U.S.• All did W/Z measurement.
But, wait, there is more…
• Australian Masterclass, 3rd Oct 2013• Melbourne• Sydney• Adelaide, and…• Medford MA
• ATLAS Z path• 14:30 in Australia• Midnight in U.S.• Thanks Ben Auerbach!
Expansion initiative for 2014
Americas • more in U.S.• ~ 5 outside U.S.• workshops?
Beyond • Australia returns• more in Asia?
Fermilab VideoconferencesFeatures:• Crew of 3-4:
• Facilitator
• Moderator (FNAL/ANL)
• Tech
• (Featured scientist)
• Icebreaker questions• No quiz
Results:• Vidyo worked well• No “bad” videoconferences
New idea to promote discussion between institutes• Each institute assigned to question one other• Based on comments from Vancouver• Tried with Australian masterclass – positve feedback• Try again!
Fermilab Videoconferences
Looking forward to International Masterclasses 2014!
