Particle Decay, Lifetime & Width

The lifetime (or equivalently, the width) and the different ways elementary particles can decay are fundamental properties crucial for physicists exploring the boundaries of known physics.

Monte Carlo Simulation

Monte Carlo (MC) methods help ATLAS physicists simulate data by generating theoretical collisions based on both known and theorised physics. We use the simulated data to help us understand the detector’s behaviour, optimise algorithms, and identify new physics.

4-Vectors and Particle Mass

Time and space coordinates vary depending on the frame of reference in which a collision event is measured. 4-vectors are tools that can simplify the transformations between frames of reference.
