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.
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, Italian, Dutch, French
Statistical Significance
When physicists make statements about whether or not a given process has been observed in the LHC data, they must back up their claim with strong statistical evidence. This is often expressed in terms of standard deviations or the p-value.
Keywords: standard deviation, p-valueDownload in English, Italian, German, Dutch, French
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
