Characteristics that show that a Z particle has just occurred are shown through the CMS detector. The event causes the Z particle to split and it shatters into two opposite directions because of the charge of the particle that has just broken off. The particle is shown with the direct impact, then the directional path is shown on the CMS detector, once it has been sensed. The particle is then traced and the point of exit from the detector is found, because the muon is one of few particles that can pass through the CMS detectors many buffers. Each of the particle types have similar starting events, in which an area has multiple particles around a center point, and then progress in certain directions. Dimuons, once they have gone through an event, shoot in two directions through the buffers and through the electromagnetic field near the center. Dielectrons only stay in the electromagnetic area, and do not pass through any of the outer buffers. Dijets have a very small range, and are very close to the center. They have many tiny particle traces and it usually does not leave the electromagnetic area. Drift tubes catch the Dimuons once they have gone through the event. The Dijet and Dielectrons are both caught in the electromagnetic field. When millions of events are combined they can compare the events and find similarities or differences in the display of how events unfolded and how they ended. Once combined they can view a majority of the events at once, so they can find new data to input into the computers and perhaps discover new ways in which the Z particle may react. The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. The law of the conservation of momentum states that momentum states that as long as an objects momentum is not reacted upon with anything from the outside environment, the momentum will remain constant. The rest mass of a particle is almost the same as the relativistic mass. If the object is moving extremely fast, the relativistic mass will be greater than the rest mass by the amount equal to mass and associated with kinetic energy.
