The Lancaster Particle Physics Package (LPPP)
is designed for high school students, aged about 16, focussing on
Physics as one of their science subjects.
The LPPP aims to give you a feeling for the basic
physics and experimental techniques involved in Particle Physics
research. By following the suggested experiments, calculations and
short projects, you will learn how to find the mass and identity
of particles that you have created. There is a gradual introduction
to relativistic formulae and corresponding units for energy and
mass. The animations in the LPPP simulate the real physics underlying
the events that you are modelling.
The package you find here is preliminary. A link to the most recent version can be found
To use the particle physics package, the system requirements must be fulfilled.
