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.
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?

Note on Consistency of Complimentary Variables
This note is to explore the consistency of two forms of the Heisenberg Undertainty Principle. Our approach will be a cross between mathematics and hand-waving. What can go wrong?
The first form of the Uncertainty Principle is the best-known, with complimentary variables momentum p and position x:
ΔpΔx ≥ h/4π.
Can we show this to be consistent with the form with complimentary variables energy E and time interval t?
Let's take the original form and multiply the left side by Δt/Δt = 1:
