PGP+Particle+Physics

PGP Particle Physics.

There are a lot of materials available for particle accelerators, cosmic ray detectors and other items.


 * Particle Accelerator Information & some data**:
 * Links provided by Shane Woods & Jon Anderson at the MN Quarknet group meeting for MasterClasses. posted by plulai.
 * The international group of high energy physicists involved in particle accelerators have a group of websites that allow students to use real collision data. Students can use this data in an attempt to determine what interactions have occurred. Cool Stuff. A charged particle is bent as it travels through these detectors. A nice way to tie Modern Physics & E&M.
 * **Resources for Teachers - Websites include:**

 * Master Classes:

 * LHC Activity Teacher's Guide: <[]> This website:
 * the technology of the collider
 * explore the compromises & trade-offs needed to create a working proton beam and collect data
 * experience challenges associated with separating interesting events from other less interesting signals.
 * makes the details of the LHC accelerator accessible at your school.
