Guided tour
Guided learning path
A four-step arc: follow the beam, see the aftermath, compare with spacetime signals, then test your intuition.
- 01 · Visited
Follow the beam
Start with the injector chain so the rest of the site follows a physical sequence.
Open - 02 · You are here
See the collision aftermath
See which detectors catch which particles after a collision.

Compare with spacetime signals
Switch to gravitational waves: tune mass, distance, and noise to find the signal.
Open - 04 · Next
Test your intuition
Short quizzes on accelerator ordering, detector choice, and signal tuning.
