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

Students roll dice, record the resulting individual values as well as the sum of the values, create histograms of the data and develop insight into the concept of “degrees of freedom." 

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

Students use statistics to make an indirect measurement they can easily confirm.

Students explore the effects of electric and magnetic fields on particles. 

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 create and interpret a histogram of penny masses.

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

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

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