The event includes several lectures on the world of elementary particles, the laws governing them, the physics related to them, detection methods, fundamental questions to be answered in experiments conducted now and in the future, and the technology developed starting from basic research both in this field of physics and in related areas. I hope we will have the time to discuss the close connection of the microcosm with the macrocosm described by cosmology.
All of you will have the opportunity to analyze data that will be provided to you, related to proton-proton collisions as recorded by the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, and to discuss your findings with students from other countries as well as scientists at CERN through a video conference to be held at 5:00 in the afternoon. There, you will have the opportunity to ask questions to both students from other countries and CERN scientists.
No prior knowledge of particle physics is required, but it might be helpful if you read up on some things before the seminar so that you can ask more questions. Below, some links are provided where you can find plenty of information. The links are in English but easy to follow:
You can start from the website of the Department of Physics at MasterClasses: http://www.physicsmasterclasses.org/index.php?cat=country&page=cy_nicosia. At the end of the page, you will find various links that will lead you to useful information.
For information about the fascinating world of particles, you can visit the link https://particleadventure.org, which contains many other individual links that will guide you to concepts and phenomena related to elementary particles.
A good collection of material and resources for those who want to explore various exciting topics from the world of particles can be found in the following link: https://ippog.org/international-masterclasses/resources-publications
You can also try the following links: http://www.physicsmasterclasses.org/index.php?cat=physics especially the link related to CMS experiment where you can find information on the search for WZH path which is the focus of the search you are going to perform during the event. You can find a version of this in turkish at this link.
There is a very nice 360-degree video about the CMS experiment (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_OeQxoKocU). You can click on the video and rotate it to have a 360-degree view of what is presented in the video. Try also this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrXhK3Gh5EE
It would be useful to look at the link https://www.screencast.com/t/lFq86uolB, which describes the software we will use to identify various events.
