Description

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 states to determine these ratios.
