    Teachers are given paper event displays with x- and y-axes of Z boson candidate dimuon events that are almost completely transverse to the beamline. They use protractors, vector analysis, momentum conservation, energy conservation, and the mass-energy-momentum relationship to calculate the Z mass.
  15. 12. Creative Classroom Solutions

    Teachers are given a description of how the detector works and what to expect for results. Teachers examine the detector animation and make their own "cheat sheets" that show the types of events for which they will search. Finally, they will look at real events together.

    Teachers will work in pairs. Each pair of teachers will be at a computer and be assigned a dataset of 100 CMS events to analyze visually to determine if each event is a candidate Z, W+, W-, or other particle. In the case of events that look like a Z signature (dilepton events), teachers will create a mass histogram in CIMA. Teachers will also count W+ vs W- events and electron vs muon final...
  19. 15. Analyze and Discuss Masterclass Data; intro to W2D2

    06/07/2018, 14:00

    Teachers will look at masterclass results for the whole group and discuss with physicists. Teachers will also have an introduction to the World Wide Data Day (W2D2) measurement that high school learners will have in their workshops.
