The Standard Model of particle physics is a theory describing how 12 matter fields interact with 5 fields of force. If one field — say the electron field – starts to move and sway, then it causes the gravitational field and the electromagnetic field to move. These, in turn kickstart the quark fields, and so on.
The Standard Model of particle physics provides the most accurate description of nature at the subatomic level. It is based on the quantum theory of fields and has been tested with exquisite precision. In the quantum field theory there is one field for each type of particle – matter particles and force particles.
Newton’s Laws: N1 : “a body will remain at rest or in a state of constant motion unless acted upon by an external force” N2 : “the rate of change of motion (i.e. momentum mv) is proportional to the external force (F=ma)” N3 : “for every action there is an equal and opposite. reaction”.
1 Particle Physics: A Brief Overview. Particle physics is as much a science about today’s universe as it is of the early universe. By discovering the basic building blocks of matter and their interactions, we are able to construct a language in which to frame questions about the early universe.
These lectures will cover the core topics of Particle and Nuclear physics. Particle Physics is the study of Matter: Elementary particles Forces: Basic forces in nature Electroweak (EM & weak) Strong Current understanding is embodied in the Standard Model which successfully describes all current data∗. Nuclear Physics is the study of Matter ...
F. Krauss IPPP Introduction to particle physics Lecture 1. Topics of this lecture The nature of matter Special relativity Quantum mechanics. Mass, momentum and energy. Note: From now on, we set c = 1. Demand conservation of mass, momentum and energy to be invariant under Lorentz transformations: For mass: m(v) = √ m0.
Introduction to the Standard Model of Particle Physics { Part 1. Rainer F. Hauser rainer.hauser@gmail.com. July 31, 2019. Abstract. Despite its limits, the so-called Standard Model describes large parts of Particle Physics in very exact accordance with experiments and is very well tested.
