Abstract

New Particle Search at CERN is a series of Citizen Science projects in which the public looks for evidence of undiscovered particles using HYPATIA.

There are several particle decays, which may be more accurately identified by humans than algorithms, the project should ascertain whether this is true for those specific cases. The citizen scientist’s performance will be monitored and compared to an algorithm that will be developed to serve as a baseline.
