LHC
Activities are based on techniques that physicists use to make discoveries. We have included activities that use data from LHC experiments and activities that help students explore the concepts in this experiment.
Clone of Shuffling the Particle Deck
Teams of students organize cards depicting fundamental particles based on their characteristics. This activity is a foundation for learning about the Standard Model and parallels the methods used by scientists to organize the elements into the period table.
Clone of Mapping the Poles
Students explore some basics of magnetic fields that can be related to experimental particle physics.
Clone of TOTEM 1
Students use TOTEM data to determine if protons (quantum objects) obey classical conservation of momentum.
Clone of The Case of the Hidden Neutrino Momentum Activity
Students use momentum conservation to examine the decay of top-antitop pairs to determine what is missing from the event.
The Case of the Hidden Neutrino
Students use momentum conservation to examine the decay of top-antitop pairs to determine what is missing from the event.
Angles and Dimuons
This activity is based on the data analysis used for World Wide Data Day,
Research Using Coding
This activity provides techniques for guiding students doing an independent research project.
Introduction to Coding Using Jupyter
Students will learn the basics of coding using Jupyter style notebooks.
TOTEM 1
Students use TOTEM data to determine if protons (quantum objects) obey classical conservation of momentum.
Particle Transformations
Students discover the rules of particle transformations using transformation diagrams.
