New features in the Belle II 2020 exercise: Public analysis of 6 M events from Belle II Fitting tools for interactive fitting New page to check the results Interactive web application http: //belle 2. ijs. si/masterclass 7

Particle Therapy Masterclass About 25 institutes Part of them via - 15 personal contact - 10 IMC mailing lists Only the 2 March session took place in Mexico City and Puebla. And was super-success. The difficulty is that there is no “collaboration”. And it is a “new” field, community. 7. 5. 2020 IMC report

Updates on Particle Therapy MC • Plan: trained team support newcomers on skype • Mexico city (UNAM): responsibility as support and moderation centre for Latin America – Material in Spanish – First PTMC in Latin America on 22 May, postponed – Meantime online tutorials with 11 participants from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras; more coming – Engineering students as tutors, did MC as high school student, will help with social media • Mexican Space Agency communication officer organized a MC in an Empowerment Camp. Master thesis on “MC as support for female students in under-privileged countries”. • Particle Therapy centers express interest in MC – use of their PR material (videos of real center, accelerator, facilities) 7. 5. 2020 IMC report

Int. Day of Women and Girls in Science • Proclaimed by the UN: Feb 11 th www. un. org/en/events/women-and-girls-in-science-day/ • To support and promote the access of girls to science education and research activities • MCs for girls http: //physicsmasterclasses. org/index. php? cat=women_in_science – 17 groups participating – 600 students – Female lecturers and tutors (as much as possible) – 4 videoconferences at CERN with female moderators, incl. presentation on situation of women in physics “My institution (Lancaster University in the UK) took part for the first time last Tuesday on the International Day of Women in Science. We hosted a school group, and had a great day - thanks very much!“ 7. 5. 2020 IMC report
