|---|---|---|---|
| Describe accurately and fully the constituent particles of protons, and give three or more examples of predicted collision products, including the Higgs. | Correctly describe the constituent particles of protons, and give 2 or more examples of predicted collision products, including the Higgs. | Unable to describe the constituent particles of the protons; Unable to give any example of predicted collision products, including the Higgs. 0= both missing; 1=one missing. | |
| Describe fully and accurately the ordering of the subdetectors and explain that order making accurate reference to the properties of the particle types detected in each. | Describe the ordering of at least two of the subdetectors and explain that order making reference to the properties of some of the particle types detected in each. | Unable to list the subdetectors in order (0) or (1) explain any part of that order making reference to any properties of the particles detected. | |
| Make wholly accurate claims about the role that conservation of energy, momentum, and charge play in event analysis at CMS. | Make generally accurate claims about the role that conservation of energy, momentum, and charge play in event analysis at CMS. | Unable to make any (0) or any accurate (1) claims about the role that conservation of energy, momentum, and charge play in event analysis at CMS. | |
| Can clearly articulate the value, units and meaning of all these features of plots used in the e-Lab: axes, bin width, peak height and width. | Can correctly identify the value, units and meaning of three or more of these features of plots used in the e-Lab: axes, bin width, peak height and width. | Unable to identify value, units or meaning of any (0) or at least one (1) of these features of plots used in the e-Lab: axes, bin width, peak height and width. | |
| Design, execute and publish an investigation using CMS simulated or run data. | Design and make progress toward carrying out an investigation using CMS simulated or run data. | Unable to design (1) or even describe (0) an investigation using CMS simulated or run data. | |
