| Abstract | This paper aims to provide a basis for teachers interested in bringing modern particle detectors into their classrooms. In particular, it gives an overview of the basic principles of modern particle detectors, linking them to concepts that are already a part of the curriculum. In addition, it explains the essential detector components present in all detector systems, and how the information they provide leads to particle identification. By highlighting relevant classroom resources, this paper serves as a valuable guide for teachers seeking to include modern particle physics in their teaching, and to set it within interesting and relevant contexts. |
