Neutrino
Activities are based on techniques that physicists use to make discoveries. We have included activities that use data from LIGO seismic studies and activities that help students explore the concepts in this experiment.
The Case of the Hidden Neutrino

Students use momentum conservation to examine the decay of top-antitop pairs to determine what is missing from the event.
Signal and Noise: The Basics

Students analyze signals and noise first in audio and video forms and then look at signals and noise from physics measurements.
Shuffling the Particle Deck
