Links for the public from Fermilab.
Fermilab Tutorial on particle physics by Fermi National Accelerator Center.
Particle Adventure. Interactive web tutorial about quarks and leptons
by Lawrence Berkeley Natl. Lab. For detectors, start at events.
Virtual Visitor Center at SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center).
Take an informative, virtual tour of accelerators and detectors.
For what detector layers do.
Learn how to identify event pictures of particles:
OnScreen Particle Physics.
Inject various particles into magnetic fields. Calculate types of particles, lifetimes. Demo online.
Events in OPAL. Nice tutorial and challenge on each type of event. Can do statistics of ratios of types of events on 1000 events.
BaBar Particle Physics Teaching Package.
A tutorial on relativity and particles. Events to analyze.
"Live" Events from OPAL. 100 recent events are available.
Identify DELPHI events. No table of contents, so have to go step by step through tutorial. Poor quality event pictures.
Coulomb Forces. Shoot a proton at + or - charges and see its path.
Histogram. Make a histogram and change the binning.
Event Collider. Simulation of particles in detectors.
You change energy and magnetic field. Events reflect actual
percentages of type.
