Who brings LHC data to teachers and students? We do.
Who uses other particle physics data too? We do.
Who sends an e-mail to Ken like this one? We do, we do, we do.
Description
Development and utilities for the QuarkNet LHC fellows.
ASP2018 Teacher Program Tutorials
Particle Detectors Tutorial
Divide into 3 groups. Each group should answer the Foundation Question plus one of the three Group questions. Each group should prepare to present to the other groups what they have learned.
Foundation Question for all 3 groups: Describe the layers of a detector such as ATLAS or CMS. Why are these layers needed?
Group questions (one per group):

Review: Intro to Standard Model and LHC
Foundational Question: What is the Standard Model?
Describe the Standard Model in brief, simple terms.
Resources:
Supplementary Activity: Describe the Standard Model through graphs.
Make plots of
A. Masses of fundamental particles as a function of year of discovery.
B. Masses of fundamental particles as a function of their lifetimes.
Resources:
Group Questions:
- Describe the difference between a lepton collider (like LEP) and a hadron collider (like the LHC).
- Describe how particles are accelerated in an accelerator.
- Describe the design of a particle detector (like DELPHI or CMS) in a collider experiment.
Resources from CERN:
- Accelerator Complex
- CMS
- DELPHI
- How a detector works
- Large Electron Positron collider
- Large Hadron Collider
More Resources:
- CMS detector animation
- Geometry of a Collider Detector
- LHC - How it works (video)
- Particle decays in DELPHI (screencast)
Hoiw to Report
Each group has a public Google slides presentation:
Notes 20-21 May 2017
Dave's CIMA Notes:
check on "timing out;" turn that off!
Presume tablet usable
On results spreadsheet, move summary results to top
Administrator option to show "grand totals," preferably with option to remove group from totals.... Maybe implement as a checklist of which groups to include in grand totals. Or maybe some way to switch on/off uploads or "cleanup"
Distinguish (color?) mu & e on histograms
Histogram for each student pair?
Possible supplemental graphs?
Discourage ATLAS automatically making histogram. But might make it clearer what needs to done to make histogram AND that it needs to be done.
