• Current page on i2u2-quarknet
• Xeno Media Basecamp page for issues

e-Labs

• CME efforts: UIC studnets drafted a paper on CR rates for the last 5 most intense CMEs; next Japan-US meeting on April 12th
• Pyramid display great on simulated data, however, we now have some test files.
  • Data files need run headers and readout hardware needs addresses we've agreed to.
  • Event structure from 6 CAEN readout boxes must be built via hardware (Colletor module under testing) or software (new decoder for display).
  • Detector 1 is on the way to Mexico City
• Detector 6956 was stood up at Bullis School and the group there sucessfully uploaded data.
• Contact with Addis Ababa! GPS has been reset by students for detector 7031.

CMS

• There is a Zenodo record of the masterclass files: https://zenodo.org/records/15153860; if there are citable software records and datasets we have perhaps we can make a QN commonity in Zenodo
• Past but still useful (?):
  • WIP: new jupyter notebook to explore B physics (and eventually produce files): https://github.com/QuarkNet-HEP/bphysics-jupyter
  • CMS Comms team produced video of CMS footage for masterclass intro... https://web.quarknet.org/mc/videos/vcvv2025/IMC_CMSvideo_04feb2025.mp4
  • TM: I have fixed a few bugs in iSpy regarding geometry which won't affect masterclasses this year but will be nice for the next iteration
• Now that IMC is over, we can turn to improvements and other CMS efforts:
  • Improve CIMA?
  • Make sure iSpy in updated on ND server.
  • New ways to use python notebooks.
  • More? Will consult LHC fellows...
  • TPM: I have a handle on the 4lepton events from 2016 (an extra 16 1/fb on top of the 22 1/fb we have now)
• Result of workshop at Maryland: LHCb expansion for QN/Fermilab?
• ATLAS masterclasses on Apr 26 in BC, LBNL - TRIUMF videocon moderation
