QuarkNet is establishing 12 new centers each year at universities
that are participating in hadron collider experiments at Fermilab (near
Chicago) and CERN (in Switzerland).
The centers are:
New! 2001 CENTERS (you can apply as a lead teacher or associate teacher):
Argonne National Laboratory
Duke University
Florida Institute of Technology
Iowa State University
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Rutgers University
Texas Tech University
University of California at Davis
University of Iowa
University of Kansas
University of Mississippi
2000 CENTERS (you can join as an "associate teacher" now):
Brookhaven National Laboratory
Columbia University/Nevis Labs
Hampton University
Michigan State University
Southern Methodist University
SUNY Albany
University of California at Irvine
University of California at Riverside
University of Chicago
University of Florida
University of Illinois - Chicago
University of Pennsylvania
University of Washington
Financial support for teachers at each center:
Year 1 - two lead teachers join the project. Their support includes:
Research appointment stipend - $550 per week for 8 weeks
Travel and subsistence (to FermiLab and to center, if they can't
commute)
Academic year follow-on at $460 per teacher
Year 2 - 10 new teachers join each group. $1150 each.
Years 3+ - $550 each.

At each site, 2 physics faculty - elementary particle researchers - work
with a dozen high school physics teachers. Teachers are paid in summer to
do research and/or learn. Graduate credit is available. Lead teachers spend
a week at Fermilab and possibly CERN.
These endeavors are expected to result in high school students
doing such things as analyze web-based data and remotely control TV cameras
in experimental areas. "Through inquiry-oriented investigations students
will learn kinematics, particles, waves, e & m, energy and momentum,
radioactive decay, optics, relativity, forces,and the structure of matter",
according to the www site.
OTHER ACTIVE QUARKNET CENTERS:
Centers that started in 1999:
Boston University/Northeastern University

Iowa State University/University of Iowa
Langston University (near Oklahoma City)
University of Oklahoma
Notre Dame University
SUNY Stony Brook
The D0 and CDF Collaborations at Fermilab
University of California at Santa Cruz
University of Rochester
University of Texas at Arlington
