Conservation Laws

Plotting a Concensus

The purpose of this activity is to come to a consensus for the “best” value for the mass of the Z Boson.

Angles and Dimuons

This activity is based on the data analysis used for World Wide Data Day,

TOTEM 1

Students use TOTEM data to determine if protons (quantum objects) obey classical conservation of momentum.

Particle Transformations

Students discover the rules of particle transformations using transformation diagrams.

Making Tracks II

Students analyze tracks in a bubble chamber.

CMS Masterclass WZH-path

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.

Energy, Momentum, and Mass

Students examine data to find how energy, momentum, and mass are related.

Z Mass Spreadsheet Extension

Students use spreadsheet coding to determine the Z Mass for a large data set.

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.

CMS Masterclass J/Psi

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.
