Activity Description:
|
This project allows learners to access Monte Carlo particle physics data. The data represent calorimetry (energy) and tracking (momentum) information for decay products from interactions in an electron positron collider. We also provide test-beam data so that one can understand detector response prior to reducing the data. Learners can apply conservation of momentum and energy to data and determine the mass of a particle that the machine did not directly observe. |
