Lesson 2. Particle scattering. CMS and LAB systems. Cross sections.

 

Students should be able to:

  • Apply Lorentz boosts to change between different reference frames
  • Value the equivalence of center-of-mass energy and invariant mass
  • Explain the relation between differential and total cross section

 

Warmup your students: ask  activating questions at the beginning and at the end of the lesson
