If you need to refer to the relativity material, work through all pages. If you want to skip this review, click ‘Display Index’ in the upper right corner of the screen and start with ‘Why bother with particle physics?’ Be sure you look at the detector display from a variety of angles and zooms and vary the magnetic field. Observe the effect of the field on each type of particle. Continue until you have found the K0 lifetime and worked at least 5 event pictures from the 25 listed. Then complete the histogram activity.

The X axis represents the experimentally calculated half-lives in steps. The bins start from 12.33. The average calculated value is 13.264.
The x axis must indicate that it is half life in steps and be labeled accordingly
Resources
The Nobel Prize website [1] is a valuable historical reference (probably because lots of the people who did this work won them). For a detailed look at high energy experiments, see FermiLab's exhibit [2]. General information and links are on the course website, [3]. Books (yes, actual books) are on reserve for your use in the SJS library. See especially [4]. [5]
- ↑ Nobel Prizes
- ↑ Search for the Building Blocks
- ↑ AP Physics C1 website Particle Physics page
- ↑ Lederman, chapter 6
- ↑ Lots of links
