Happy Thanksgiving
Things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving:
Siemens student science competition. (Congratulations, Notre Dame Center)
AAPT student competition.(Congratulations, Annie Rubino, Fermilab/U. Chicago Center)
New student competition for Teragrid.
Have a Happy and Restful Thanksgiving,
Beth
Siemens student science competition. (Congratulations, Notre Dame Center)

- All QuarkNet centers that requested a Cosmic Ray Detector now have one.
- We have 52 QuarkNet centers encompassing 76 mentors and 560 teachers plus 5 staff teachers and 4 principal investigators.
- There will be 52 QuarkNet Fellows to help the QuarkNet Staff teachers to invigorate centers in a variety of ways. Sign up by Dec. 4.
- The new 5-year QuarkNet grant proposal to NSF is almost done!
- The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has installed over 1000 magnets and has cryogenics to run them.
- The 4 Tesla toroidal magnet at ATLAS has been fired up after being cooled to 4.8 K.
- The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is moving underground.
- Click to see the stories of the above.
- Modern and particle physics are being taught in high schools and, hopefully, your students are more interested because of it.
- High school physics students are excited about learning because of the differences you have made so far this year.
- High school physics teachers are more confident about teaching physics because of the differences mentors have made.
Have a Happy and Restful Thanksgiving,
Beth

Passing this on from Ian Shipsey, Purdue mentor . . .
Dear Beth and Rick,
I thought you might like to know that a very bright and enthusiastic Purdue undergraduate
physics major in his sophomore year, who I have just hired
to help build the forward pixel detector for CMS, got his first taste of particle physics, and his enthusiasm for the subject, as a Quarknet student at Indiana University a couple of summers ago.
Hi name is Joseph Clampit, he particularly remembered his
interactions with Rick van Kooten, which have clearly made a very
positive impression on him.
Another reason to be thankful this Thanskgiving
