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.
Heisenberg's Laser
The students will investigate the relationship between uncertainty in momentum and the uncertainty in position and how these relate to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
Plotting a Concensus
The purpose of this activity is to come to a consensus for the “best” value for the mass of the Z Boson.
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.
CMS Masterclass WZH-path
Students are physicists for a day at a university or lab where they work with physicists to learn how to analyze real particle physics data in the form of event displays.
