The purpose of this activity is to come to a consensus for the “best” value for the mass of the Z Boson.
Scientists set about determining the characteristics of particles using multiple experiments. This activity allows students to determine the mass of the Z Boson and the uncertainty in that mass. The experiments produce varying values with varying uncertainty. The purpose of this activity is to come to a consensus for the “best” value for the mass of the Z Boson.
