In this activity, students use authentic detector data to apply simple 1D kinematics (v=d/t), interpret graphical data, and evaluate measurement uncertainties.

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

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

This activity provides techniques for guiding students doing an independent research project.

Students will learn the basics of coding using Jupyter style notebooks.

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

Students discover the rules of particle transformations using transformation diagrams.

Students analyze tracks in a bubble chamber.

Students analyze tracks in a cloud chamber.

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.
