The Czech Particle Physics Project
Abstract
We present the status of the Czech Particle Physics Project (CPPP). The CPPP is a learning tool in masterclasses aimed at high school students (aged 15 to 18). The project is structured in modules. The first module is dedicated to the detection of an Axion-Like-Particle (ALP) using the ATLAS Forward Proton (AFP) detector. The second module focuses on the reconstruction of the Higgs boson mass using the Higgs boson golden channel with four leptons in the final state. The third and fourth modules are educational aids and sources for expert information. These web portals are dedicated to Higgs boson research and searches for Supersymmetry. Two databases are created with more than 1000 relevant articles each, using the CERN Document Server API and web scraping methods. The databases are automatically updated when new results on Higgs bosons or searches for Supersymmetric particles become available. Using artificial intelligence and natural language processing, the articles are categorized according to properties of the results. The modules are accessible at https://cern.ch/cppp.
