Skill: Uncertainty

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 statistics to make an indirect measurement they can easily confirm.

Students experience the excitement of scientific collaboration in this series of investigations into high-energy cosmic rays.

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.
