University of Washington QuarkNet Center Annual Report 2020

Mentor: Prof. Shih-Chieh Hsu

We organized one successful activity in 2020. The 2-day virtual masterclass.

CMS Masterclass (Sep 10-11 2020)

There are 22 prospective University of Washington students joining this 2-days masterclass activity. Students just graduated from high schools and registered to the UW Early Fall start discovery program. All activities were conducted through Zoom. We finished muon and electron CMS analysis in the first day, and arranged a virtual meeting with Kenneth Cecire and Dr. Allison Hall to discuss our results. Students were very active even though all of us joined remotely. We were able to find nice Higgs candidate events and addressed most of the science questions.
