Investigation 24 – APODs Picture 1 – ATLAS 1. What does this picture show? This picture shows one of the 6 detectors(ATLAS) that are attached to the Large Hadron Collider, the most powerful particle accelerator ever built 2. What are the relevant physics displayed in this picture? The ATLAS detector being depicted is one of few LHC detectors, this one being the one for Higgs boson and extra dimensions. 3. How is this picture related to what we discussed today? This relates to the use of particle accelerators, as this detector is used for explaining how mass arises as it detects Higgs bosons as the particles go through a field of virtual Higgs particles. Picture 2 – Collision event simulation 1. What does this video show? This image shows the collision between two protons, and the after-effects of a Higgs boson decaying into jets of hadrons and electrons. 2. What are the relevant physics displayed in this video? The relevant physics displayed is the creation of the Higgs boson by accelerating two particles of protons and colliding them. This image also shows how the energy is dispersed throughout the collision 3. How is this video related to what we discussed today? This video is related to particle accelerators because it shows exactly what they do. When two protons are collided, a lot of data can be studied within the transformation the protons undertake, such as where the energy go, what the particles emit, and what the Higgs boson emits. Video 3 – Higgs spectrum data 1. What does this video show? Shows distribution data of the mass of two photons from the ATLAS measurement. The ATLAS is one of detectors on the LHC. 2. What are the relevant physics displayed in this picture? The relevant physics displayed is the functionality of the ATLAS detector in the Large Hadron Collider. It is detecting measurement of H→γγ using the “Run 2 dataset”. What is interesting is that it detects an inverse relationship with its’ inputs. 3. How is this picture related to what we discussed today?
It relates to the discussion of the ATLAS detector and what scientists use particle accelerators for. This allows us to learn new things about the behavior of the mass of protons and the Higgs boson.
