Particle hunting with data from the Large Hadron Collider (SURF-2024-0388)

Activity: SupervisionCompleted SURF Project

Description

High-energy particle collision data from the experimental collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are being made available for public access through the CERN Open Data portal.
These datasets contain a complete set of measurements made by the LHC detectors.
In this project we propose to scan the LHC data with the aim of identifying specific particle species. The participant(s) will reconstruct particle properties using methods of particle hunting applied to different data-objects (for example, electron-based vs. muon-based measurements).
