If any of you are teaching any particle physics (I can do it since we have
a second year physics course) There is a wonderful piece of software which
will compliment the "Standard Model" hypercard stack and Cindy Schwarz"s
book
"A Tour of the Subatomic Zoo" available from AIP.
The software is called "Chamber Works" and was a winner in this years
Computers in Physics contest. It simulates the decay of pions in a chamber.
Students can investigate the effect of changing energy and field and
"observe reconstructions" of the decays.
It is available from
OnScreen Science, Inc.
46 Wallace St
Sommerville, MA 02144
(617) 776-6416.
for $34.95 for a limited time.(uniil 3/1/94) It runs on Mac LC or higher.
I have used it with my students while it was being developed for the last
three years and it is very valuable
