John2011

toc Introduction to John's blog- I have been working on particle physics over at quarknet for my junior year. I have learned a lot about how the CMS works, and I can now look at data from the spreadsheets to find out important details of particles. My blog consists of graphs of this data, along with excel sheets and articles about the detector. The blog shows my progress throughout the year, and what I have discovered from looking at the data from the Compact Muon Solenoid. Link to picture
