1. Analyzing ATLAS Data Name: Manuel / Kit TRUIMF UBC MasterClass
Date: 8 / Apr / 2017

2. How to select the events
Randomly distributed USB sticks with ATLAS data.
Looked for the highest momentum (energy)
Apply cuts in order to prioritize
Determined the location within the detector
Paired charges together (+/-)
Determined the event through the decay:
Di-Photon
Di-Electron
Di-Muon
Four-lepton
Uncertain events ignored

3. How to find Muons?
Muons, which are charged leptons don’t interact with most matter. Therefore in order
to find the muon, you have to use the specialized muon detector.
A muon event can be characterized by two tracks which reach the outer edge of the
ATLAS detector. These tracks run almost opposite to each other.
In a muon event, two muons are formed
with opposite charges.
