These sites are primarily related to particle physics. Many offer good web-based introductions to the theory and the experiments.
| The Particle Adventure http://wwwpdg.cern.ch/pdg/particleadventure/index.html |
This is the easiest to use version of an award-winning interactive web tour of particle physics. |
| Build an Atom with your Computer http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/tryit/atom/ |
Highly recommended. Comes with worksheet. |
| ALEPH events for Schools. http://iphlehramt.physik.uni-mainz.de/lehrsystem/ |
Interactive work using genuine ALEPH events. In German. |
| Sub-Atomics: A guide to intelligent-sounding physics lingo! http://members.aol.com/laninaia01/subatomics.html |
An interesting (and well done!) qualitative summary of particle physics created by a student. |
| Particle Physics Introduction by Fermi Lab http://www.fnal.gov/pub/hep_descript.html |
|
| Fermilab Education Office http://www-ed.fnal.gov/ |
Many links, on-line activities, and resources for educators |
| Education Programs and Resources http://www-ed.fnal.gov/talks/cern99/ |
This is the web-linked talk given to the CERN teachers by Liz Quigg of FermiLab. Under web-based resources there are a number of son-line simulations at Fermilab and elsewhere. Everything she spoke about is here. |
| An Introduction to Particle Physics http://hepwww.rl.ac.uk/Pub/Phil/contents.html |
A text-based introduction to particle physics from the Rutherford Lab (UK) |
| SLAC's Virtual Visitor Center http://www2.slac.stanford.edu/vvc/home.html |
A very nice site with explanatory sections on the linear accelerator, particle physic theory, detectors, history and more. |
| Particle Physics in the UK http://hepweb.rl.ac.uk/ppUK/ |
Connected to CERN Outreach, a good jumpsite for particle physics, not only for the UK. Includes resources for schools. |
| Boston University's ATLAS Education Website http://physics.bu.edu/ATLAS/index.html |
An excellent site for introductions to particle physics, ATLAS, etc. Includes wonderful EventMaker simulation of particle collisions. |
| A Multimedia Tour through Particle Physics http://www.physik.uni-erlangen.de/didaktik/grundl_d_TPh/Titelseite.html |
A nice site in German, with good pictures. |
| World Wide Web Interactive Real Event Display http://vanh.physto.se/~hoc/ (Stockholm mirror site) |
Hands on CERN.Although still being perfected, this is a project we have been shown at CERN. It allows students to analyze real detector data. A CD-ROM is in the works. |
| Ba-Bar and the Missing Antimatter http://www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~heth/babar/index.html |
Why is there more matter than antimatter? Easy to understand site on CP symmetry violation experiment. |
| Seeing particles http://www.ep.ph.bham.ac.uk/user/watkins/seeweb/BubbleChamber.htm |
Bubble chamber photographs and exercises for schools |
| Identifying events at LEP http://hepwww.ph.man.ac.uk/~wyatt/events/home.html |
Self guided tutorial for selected events at OPAL - with the answers! |
