Neutrino Physics Masterclasses
ORAL
Abstract
- Each year in International Masterclasses, more than 14000 high school students become "particle physicists for a day" at one of over 200 nearby universities or laboratories around the world. These students work with physicists to learn about 21st century research and to analyze authentic data from one of several particle physics experiments. Ideally, high school teachers are involved as well, and can prepare their students for the masterclass day by using provided classroom activities that connect to topics and standards typically covered in introductory physics classes. This talk will focus on Neutrino masterclasses featuring data from neutrino experiments such as MINERvA and NOvA. Learn how you can become involved in this exciting opportunity that brings 21st century physics to high school students.
