Lesson #3 in QuarkNet STEP UP Series on diversity and inclusion.

Students are physicists for a day at a university or lab where they work with physicists to learn how to analyze real particle physics data in the form of event displays.

Students use spreadsheet coding to determine the Z Mass for a large data set.

Students collect data from muons which decay in the MINERvA detector in the Fermilab NuMi beamline to understand particle decay and determine the muon lifetime.

Students measure the effects of electric and magnetic fields on particles. 

Students are physicists for a day at a university or lab where they work with physicists to learn how to analyze real particle physics data in the form of event displays.

Students are physicists for a day at a university or lab where they work with physicists to how to analyze real particle physics data in the form of event displays.

Students learn how physicists measure muon lifetime.

ATLAS Data Express is a short investigation in which students inspect and characterize Z events in the LHC and distinguish muons from electrons.

Use quantum physics and LHC data to estimate the size of the proton.
