Electron Beam Diffraction Tube
not really particle physics but good possibility to show the wave nature of electrons
principle Bragg reflection at graphite electron waves
possible experiments: wave length measurement h measurement
![Page 8: HEP in the Classroom Dr. Sascha Schmeling CERN/EP HST Programme 2001](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f135503460f94c27098/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Millikan Experiment classical experiment
(first performed 1916) to show quantisation of the electrical charge
principle: electric force
possible experiment: measurement of
electron charge
![Page 9: HEP in the Classroom Dr. Sascha Schmeling CERN/EP HST Programme 2001](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f135503460f94c27098/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
There exist manyready-to-use appletseven from teachers
for teachers!
Multimedia Tools
Some of these experiments cannot be shown in every school, as they are expensive.
Why not use multimedia for this?
Example: Millikan-Experiment with ViMPS
Pupils always use computers!
Black box!
Anyway, one should restrict
that!Sure, but there is the need – sometimes!

Fine Beam Tube
instructive measurement of electron properties
principle: Lorentz Force
possible experiment: measurement of
e/m

Franck-Hertz Experiment also not a real
“particle physics” experiment but good to show quantisation
principle: ionisation by electrons
possible experiment: illustrate Bohr’s model
![Page 14: HEP in the Classroom Dr. Sascha Schmeling CERN/EP HST Programme 2001](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f135503460f94c27098/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Self-Made Experiments In contrast to these – expensive – standard
experiments, it is possible to set up small experiments with available or not expensive to buy pieces, such as
coffee pots neon tubes wire
with these tools it is possible to perform nice experiments with cosmic muons
KamioCan
Muon detection
small spark chamber
![Page 15: HEP in the Classroom Dr. Sascha Schmeling CERN/EP HST Programme 2001](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f135503460f94c27098/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
KamioCan small experiment to
detect muons
simple set-up power supply oscilloscope photomultiplier pot
with large(r) pot you can measure the muon lifetime
PC needed documented electronics
![Page 16: HEP in the Classroom Dr. Sascha Schmeling CERN/EP HST Programme 2001](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f135503460f94c27098/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Neon Tubes another small
experiment to detect cosmic muons
very simple set-up neon tubes (even faulty
ones) power supply
adjustable to your needs/wishes
granularity efficiency
