Identifying Events
In this chapter you learn how to identify events (proton-proton collisions). Thus you can associate event displays with physical processes.


On the following pages you can find information about the Z boson, its production processes during collisions at the LHC, its detection in ATLAS with the event display HYPATIA, and a concluding exercise in order to test your knowledge. Afterwards you are ready for the measurements.

This is how the ATLAS-detector sees proton-proton collisions.





There is a lot going on!
