During the summer of 2002, I was involved in research, that consisted of the production of Optical Decoder Units at the Univ. of Notre Dame for the Compact Muon Solenoid at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. The Compact Muon Solenoid will detect the energies and paths of the particles produced when two protons collide at a speed near that of light. Notre Dame's participation in this experiment is to design and build the calorimetry readout devices to measure the energy of the elementary particles. The production was undertaken with eight high school students. I will talk about my experience not only in production and quality control but in the supervision of the high school researchers as well.
