Conservation Laws

Students are physicists for a day at a university or lab where they work with physicists to how to analyze real particle physics data in the form of event displays.

ATLAS Data Express is a short investigation in which students inspect and characterize Z events in the LHC and distinguish muons from electrons.

CMS Data Express is a short investigation in which students inspect and characterize W or Z events from the LHC.

Students are physicists for a day at a university or lab where they work with physiists to how to analyze real particle physics data in the form of event displays.

Students have an opportunity to learn how to analyze data to calibrate the CMS detector and participate in discovery science (as particle physicists do).

Students use Standard Model rules to build hadrons and mesons from quarks.

Students use conservation laws and vector addition to calculate the top mass from event displays.

Students use conservation laws and vector addition to calculate the Z mass from event displays.
