Lyman" Subject: Quarknet Workshop Dr. Olness, Dr. Coan, Dr. Stroynowski, Dr. Taylor, Dr. Scalise, Dr. UTA,Dr. UTD, Dr MRI, Ms. Tamara, Mr. Larry and Mr. Darron "Linac King" and all the secretaries and anyone you have "delegated things to": Just wanted to take a moment to let you all know how much I am enjoying this workshop! I took 9 hours of course work in Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics and Planetary Cosmology this last year in addition to teaching a full load. I lived on the computer (all Internet based courses) and am finally "seeing the light" on how these areas of physics tie together. Dr. Coan...I own a TV...but I too have little regard for the current shows...the knowledge gained from the Internet and reading the written word and is much more enlightening. Thanks for answering my "construction questions". Dr. Stroynowski and Dr. Coan....I have been fascinated with the subject of accelerators and detectors. I knew absolutely nothing about particle physics before my course work this past year (I did know about quarks:):):):) I am attaching my rather poor research project that I submitted for my course this past semester. I really had no idea there were so many detectors and accelerator labs worldwide. My paper got rather disjointed. Forgive me for not picturing ATLAS or CLEO. Dr. Olness...wow...I have been thinking about left and right running deer all day. Fascinating! I have never had a college prof "demonstrate" anything to me before! I love demo's and am looking forward to doing much more reading about symmetry and flatland. The TV will stay off...long live Mr. Tompkins. THANK YOU! Sandra L. Lyman Experimentalist/Theorist
