It is a long and complicated chain, from the signal created by a particle in a detector to a plot which shows a final physics result. In these two lectures I will explain the basic elements of this chain, such as the momentum measurement of a charged particle from its signals in a tracking detector, or the reconstruction of a quark's flight direction even if quarks are not directly observable.
Prerequisite Knowledge:
- The Standard Model (Lecture by A. Pich)
- Beyond The Standard Model (Lecture by E. Kiritsis)
