Identifying Interesting Particle Physics Events at LEP

Identifying Particle Physics Events at LEP

The purpose of this lab is to allow you to identify for yourself some interesting particle physics interactions or "events". These events have been seen using an experiment called OPAL, at CERN, near to Geneva. This experiment that runs at LEP (the Large Electron-Positron collider), which is the largest particle accelerator in the world.
