When you have studied the chapters " The Standard Model", "Accelerators", "Detectors" and "Picture analysis", you will have the knowledge needed to use the WIRED (World Wide Web Interactive Remote Event Display) program in a creative way.

WIRED is an interactive laboratory for particle collisions. You can use WIRED to study real particle reactions from advanced particle experiments at CERN, the European Centre for Particle Physics, near Geneva.

The chapter "Picture analysis" explains how to use WIRED and how different kinds of particles can be identified. The WIRED program itself is launched from the section "Collision library" in the chapter "Particle collisions".

Please visit WIRED before you begin studying the text material, so that you know what is waiting for you inside the virtual laboratory.
