Rolling dice serves as the model for decaying particles.

In this introductory tutorial that, students learn about how to distinguish muon signals from background and instrumental noise.

Students analyze signals and noise first in audio and video forms and then look at signals and noise from physic measurements.

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

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

Students learn how physicists measure muon lifetime.

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." 

Use quantum physics and LHC data to estimate the size of the proton.
