Accelerator Science (Virtual Exploration Lab, Grades 9-12)

Brookhaven National Lab’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) uses electric and magnetic fields to accelerate charged particles in a circle to understand the fundamental building blocks of matter. In this session, students will virtually use our table-top particle accelerators with the help of BNL staff, and then they will graph their data to find the line of best fit and calculate the charge to mass ratio of the electron.

Session Information:
-Flexible instruction whether students are in the classroom or at home
-Interactive, instructor-led session facilitated with students using materials from school or home (can also be demonstration-based if students do not have access to materials)
-Teachers will receive a detailed Teacher Notes guide upon booking
-Secure link to Zoom Gov videoconferencing platform will be provided
-$360 per class for this 90-minute program (BOCES-aidable)
