| description | Specialized documentation envisioned from a pedagogical bases to train scientifically and technologically teachers and researchers, who initiate themselves in the analysis of high energy physics (HEP) experiments, is scarce. The lack of this material makes that young scientists' learning process be prolonged in time, raising costs in experimental research. In this paper we present the Monte Carlo technique applied to simulate the threshold energy for producing final-state particles of a specific two-body process (A + B → C + D), as pedagogical environment to face both computationally and conceptually an experimental analysis. The active/interactive learning-teaching formative process presented here is expected to be an educational resource for reducing young scientists' learning curve and saving time and costs in HEP scientific research. |
