Particle Physics Theory Lattice QCD Protons, neutrons and many more exotic particles are made of quarks and yet quarks can never be directly detected. To determine quark properties and understand how they behave, we must solve the theory of the strong force, QCD, and compare the results to experiment. The Glasgow group is leading the world in calculations for particles made of b and c quarks, which are vital to understanding how nature distinguishes matter and antimatter. Phenomenology Phenomenologists calculate what our theories predict we will see at particle colliders such as the Large Hadron Collider due to switch on in 2008. We expect the LHC to uncover lots of exciting new physics, such as the elusive Higgs boson which is thought to give other particles their mass. At Glasgow we investigate theories of the Higgs boson, and other new physics that we might uncover, such as supersymmetry. Together with experimental colleagues we develop new ways of exploring the high energy frontier. We believe particle physics will soon enter a new Golden Age, and we intend Glasgow to be at its forefront. Particle Physics Theory Theoretical particle physics is about uncovering the fundamental particles and interactions that drive physics at the smallest distance scales.
