Following data analysis, the visiting students took part in a videoconference with CERN and high schools in Europe to discuss their findings. &nbsp;Bill Gary, second from left, professor of physics, led the Masterclass at UCR.</p> <p>–<em>Iqbal Pittalwala</em></p> <div class="tags-title">Tags</div> <div class="tags-list"> <div><a href="https://www.physics.ucr.edu/tags/high-school" hreflang="en">High School</a></div> </div> <picture> <source srcset="https://www.physics.ucr.edu/sites/default/files/styles/article_header_l/public/DSC_0035-768x510.jpg?h=3973ad5b&amp;itok=01SSVxbR 1x" media="all and (min-width: 1401px)" type="image/jpeg" width="1170" height="450"> <source srcset="https://www.physics.ucr.edu/sites/default/files/styles/article_header_l/public/DSC_0035-768x510.jpg?h=3973ad5b&amp;itok=01SSVxbR 1x" media="all and (min-width: 1025px) and (max-width: 1400px)" type="image/jpeg" width="1170" height="450"> <source srcset="https://www.physics.ucr.edu/sites/default/files/styles/article_header_m/public/DSC_0035-768x510.jpg?h=3973ad5b&amp;itok=CuIZrBSh 1x" media="all and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1024px)" type="image/jpeg" width="1023" height="450"> <source srcset="https://www.physics.ucr.edu/sites/default/files/styles/article_header_s/public/DSC_0035-768x510.jpg?h=3973ad5b&amp;itok=GVKUwhz3 1x" type="image/jpeg" width="767" height="767"> <img loading="eager" width="1170" height="450" src="https://www.physics.ucr.edu/sites/default/files/styles/article_header_l/public/DSC_0035-768x510.jpg?h=3973ad5b&amp;itok=01SSVxbR" alt="Professor Leads Local High School Students in an International Particle Physics Masterclass at UCR"> </picture> <div class="sharing-title">Share This</div><span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="https://www.physics.ucr.edu/news/2018/03/22/professor-leads-local-high-school-students-international-particle-physics" data-a2a-title="Professor Leads Local High School Students in an International Particle Physics Masterclass at UCR"><a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a><a class="a2a_button_x"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin"></a><a class="a2a_button_google_plus"></a><a class="a2a_button_email"></a><a class="a2a_button_printfriendly"></a><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share" aria-label="more options to share" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.physics.ucr.edu%2Fnews%2F2018%2F03%2F22%2Fprofessor-leads-local-high-school-students-international-particle-physics&amp;title=Professor%20Leads%20Local%20High%20School%20Students%20in%20an%20International%20Particle%20Physics%20Masterclass%20at%20UCR"></a></span><script> (function () { const customClassName = 'show-for-sr'; const targetContainer = document.querySelector('.a2a_kit.addtoany_list'); if (!targetContainer) return; const addClassToLabels = () => { const labels = targetContainer.querySelectorAll('.a2a_label'); if (labels.length > 0) { labels.forEach(label => { if (!label.classList.contains(customClassName)) { label.classList.add(customClassName); } }); console.log('Successfully applied show-for-sr class to AddToAny labels.'); return true; } return false; }; const observerConfig = { childList: true, subtree: true }; const observer = new MutationObserver((mutationsList, observer) => { if (addClassToLabels()) { observer.disconnect(); } }); if (!addClassToLabels()) { observer.observe(targetContainer, observerConfig); } })(); </script> Thu, 22 Mar 2018 21:23:56 +0000 Anonymous 141 at https://www.physics.ucr.edu
