Performance
Scientific paper
As part of the QuarkNet Collaboration, teachers and students capture cosmic ray data using scintillator hardware the students construct. These data support student inquiry into cosmic ray flux, provide coincidence timing of cosmic ray showers, measure muon lifetime, and analyze their cosmic ray detector performance. Students share these data with others by using a browser friendly “e-Lab” portal. After three years, the QuarkNet “e-Lab” portal contains over 7000 days of cosmic ray data from 70 high schools. The nature of web based tools and data retrieval allow anyone with an Internet connection to engage freely the available resources investigating cosmic rays. The Internet now allows international students to participate in the Collaboration. With the coming of the LHC in CERN and plans underway for siting the ILC, particle physics includes more international institutions. QuarkNet supports this international effort by sharing resources with teachers and students abroad. This talk examines the new inclusion of distant students who contribute their data from around the globe with time synchronous coverage. Simultaneous data strengthens the questions students can examine. Examples of global research questions will be covered, and examples given of student research. Additional international members may join; account procedures will be described.
