The following topics may appear in the discussion of the results: Most important is (2), the discussion of the physics outcome. 1.) discuss statistical uncertainty, e.g. - observe how statistical uncertainty of measurement gradually improves when more data are added (rather use "uncertainty" than "error" in order not to confuse students) - discuss the meaning of range of stat. uncertainty ("standard deviation" or "sigma") 68% to have measurement w/in 1 s.d. of true value 95% to have measurement 1/in 2 s.d. of true value --> students shouldnt worry if they are e.g. 1.5 s.d. from theory ! 2) discuss physics outcome: -- what do we learn from comparing BR(ee),BR(mumu),BR(tautau)? answer: they are identical within errors conclusion: these particles have the same properties, they are all "charged leptons" -- what would we expect for BR(hadrons) if quarks would also have the same properties? answer: 5 times as much (because there are 5 accessible quark flavors) -- what additional factors we could get? answer: a factor of 3 since quarks come with 3 different strong charges, called colors. -- why do we then not observe BR(had)/BR(lep)=3*5=15 but rather something like 20? answer: because quarks are different from leptons 3) discuss features of having looked at *real* data: -- most events clearly identifyable as ee,mumu, tautau or qq, BUT: -- few events ambiguous (e.g. tautau.vs.qq: evt 309 in Ident partilces or tautau.vs.ee) ==> student question: what is the right answer? ==> scientists answer: we do not know, and we'll never know. It's real data, no simulation Only "odds" can be determined.
