Activity Idea #1 #4

Open sandyspicer02 opened 7 years ago

sandyspicer02 commented 7 years ago

-Activity identifying particle misidentifications -Include actual particles that have been misidentified like the tetraquark and theta minus -EX: theta minus --> pK- (misidentifying the kaon for a proton) -Possibly recreate the pentaquark?

mattbellis commented 7 years ago

Can you make these as separate issues? It'll make it easier to attack them separately. Thanks!

-Activity plotting cos theta of decay products to show relationship between mass, velocity and decay angle -Combine this with momentum lesson -Include diagrams? Can these be coded up easily?

-Lesson about how particles can travel greater distances as they approach the speed of light since time happens slower for them. -Flight length of particles (tau - mean lifetime of particle before it decays, beta - percentage of the speed of light that the particle is traveling, gamma - one over the square root of (1-beta) squared)

-Lesson about E=mc2
