Various activities for student understanding
-
Study Cosmic Rays
This scenario explains what cosmic rays are and how they interact with the earth’s atmosphere.It explains how time dilation works and how the students can use real data from cosmic ray detectors installed at schools all over the world to make their own plots.
-
How to Accelerate particles
This exercise in an introduction to particle accelerators and high energy physics. The students play a game in which they have to apply what they’ve learned in a ‘virtual accelerator’.
-
Study data from the LHC
This exercise explains the basics of the standard model of particle physics and particle collisions. It explains what muons are and how their angles can be measured through the use of the HYPATIA event display or the CMS iSpy.
