Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I fix the error saying that there is no module pps_tools?
To fix this error, first, make sure that your Runtime is set to Python 3, then go up to Runtime a the top menu and select Restart runtime. In general, most problems that don't have to do with your code itself can be solved by restarting the runtime!
Where to find the answer keys if you have finished the activities?

Which tutorial should I start with?
'Using Colab for the first time' is the place to start if this is indeed your first time here! We suggest watching all the videos though, to get an in-depth explanation of all the tools you will be using.
Which activity should I start with?
We recommend you start with the CMS muons activity (Identifying particles), as it introduces importing the data from the Github site, as well as working with h5hep using data from the CMS experiment.
I've finished all the activities. What more can I do?
We are in the planning stages of implementing more activities to the website, especially activities that use data from the BaBar experiment. Don't fret, more is on the way!
I'm running locally and my tools dont seem to be working
Chances are your tools are outdated. Try updating them by pulling from the Github site, and running the `setup.py install` command from the conda terminal again.
Programming Basics!
A short introduction on how code works especially on Google Collab, h5hep and ppy tools and how to use them. Even if you are adept with coding, the quick perusal is totally worth it, especially for learning how data is stored in the h5hep format!

Particle Physics Basics!
A quick refresh-up on some concepts needed to understand exercises below. While this is by no means a comprehensive framework to learn about particle physics, for anyone curious and want to start in this field, it's a good place to start!
A look-through of how Einstein's special relativity and mass-energy equivalence usually seen in only massive objects also affects physics of the quanta.
A small conceptual introduction of how quantum particles and field theories work in small spaces and how they interact with each other.
