  9. Particle Physics Boot Camp 36 teachers 5 fellows 5 problems…is it a Z? W? or J/psi? Talks & Tours To: All QuarkNet collaboratorsFrom: Tom JordanDate: 18 July 2011 Re: Testing and analysis of early data As you know, CMS has been actively collecting data from early running of the LHC. Even though the luminosity and center-of-mass energy are still below full capacity, we still have many unique opportunities.

  10. Particle Physics Boot Camp B. Foundations for Data Analysis Completing these milestones gains the team access to the raw data. Each team member can: Describe the particle your team is investigating, how it is produced and how it might decay. Explain what is measured in the trackers and calorimetry in CMS. Describe how these components measure these properties. Describe the effect of a magnetic field on the trajectory of a charged particle. Present and fully describe five screenshots of 3-D events during the milestone seminar. Describe how to determine the mass of a particle given its energy and momentum. Demonstrate how to determine the invariant mass of a moving particle by measuring its observable decay products. Create a plot of provided data. Describe the information in each column of your data spreadsheets.
