Week+of+December+3rd,+2012

Today I arrived at quarknet at around 3:45. The group plans on working on more plots of data. Once we started Dr. L came into the lab and talked about how to cut the excel files events. We discussed the different ways that we should proceed with the file. I had several mistakes in my original excel file so I got the file Jason had worked on. We learned that the processor on the macbook air was not sufficient to do all of the equations properly. We talked about the best ways to cut it and the different formulas to graph the events with. A few of the equations that he suggested would work best were E1-E2, Phi1+Phi2, and E1+E2/M. These different equations all showed different things. One of the solutions to the equation was Momentum back to back will equal zero. The solution to phi1+phi2 will always equal zero. These were the equations that we inserted into the excel file. These are some of the equations that we used. Only a few of these equations are finished. The next step for me will be graphing these solutions.
