Discover the ATLAS Cheat Sheets
Explore educational physics "cheat sheets" developed by researchers at the ATLAS Collaboration, ideal to help with all those physics terms you want to know more about. With these sheets, you'll explore concepts from the Standard Model to conservation laws.

Conservation Laws
These laws govern the reactions we observe in particle physics! Their violation would be a sign of new physics.
Keywords: standard modelDownload in English, French, Spanish, German

Cross Section and Luminosity
This sheet defines cross section and luminosity, presents examples of LHC cross sections, and introduces the method used to determine number of events.
Keywords: cross section, luminosityDownload in English, German

Signal and Background
This sheet defines signal and background and presents some common strategies for increasing the signal-to-background ratio.
Keywords: standard model, photon, leptonDownload in English, German

The Standard Model
All fundamental particles classified based on their properties! Deviations to the Standard Model can point the way to new physics.
Keywords: dark matter, standard model, higgs boson, fermion
