Ideas and demonstrations illustrating LHC-rleated science

The links on this page are to documents and web pages with facts about the LHC and ideas for, and descriptions of, activities and demonstrations that illustrate LHC-related physics.

Please email the webmaster with ideas and links.

Demonstrations and activities:

A fun demonstration of electrons, quarks and the EM, strong and weak forces (word 28kb) (pdf 55kb). Supplied by Helen Heath, Bristol University.

A simple demonstration of why small probes are needed to resolve small scale structures (word 25kb) (pdf 35kb). Supplied by Helen Heath, Bristol University.

This is both a demonstration of electromagnetic induction and an analogy for the Higg's field (word 25kb) (pdf 37kb). Supplied by Helen Heath, Bristol University.
