This is where LHC and Neutrino fellows try out ideas, build agenda pages, and keep our important docs.
Description
Development and utilities for the QuarkNet LHC fellows.
Making Histograms
What is a Histogram?
A histogram is "a representation of a frequency distribution by means of rectangles whose widths represent class intervals and whose areas are proportional to the corresponding frequencies." (Online Webster's Dictionary)
Higgs Tutorial for ASP 2022
A tutorial on the road to discovery
Divide into groups. Each group will try to answer one question in this activity.
Group questions:
4-lepton analysis for Higgs@10
This explanation was made for Ver 1. Some of the details vary from Ver 2.
A note of explanation
This page is intended for teachers who are exploring the new (as of June 2022) Higgs discovery activity Higgs@10 workshop.
We are looking for the Higgs boson via the H → ZZ (Higgs to two Z bosons) decay channel:
Where's Higgs?
A tutorial on the road to discovery
Divide into 3 groups and try to answer the questions in this activity.
Foundation Question for all 3 groups:
- Why did theorist Peter Higgs and his colleagues propose this new boson?
Group questions:
- What are the Higgs field and the Higgs boson?
- What were some of the pre-LHC efforts to discover the Higgs boson?
- How was the Higgs finally discovered?
