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 construct histograms, identify the best value to represent the data, and report the uncertainty in their answers. 

Students build basic histogram skills required in many of the other activities in the Data Activities Portfolio.

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.

Rolling dice serves as the model for decaying particles.

In this introductory tutorial that, students learn about how to distinguish muon signals from background and instrumental noise.

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.
