Science Symposium, Darien High School, May 29, Ordinary matter  cup of coffee  atoms  electrons + nuclei  neutrons + protons  quarks Elementary particles: electrons quarks neutron proton

Science Symposium, Darien High School, May 29, What makes things stick? Opposite charges attract What about these guys? electrons (-) nucleus (+) protons (+) neutrons (0) !! The strong nuclear force nuclear glue The electromagnetic force

Science Symposium, Darien High School, May 29, Can we actually “see” elementary particles? not exactly…

Science Symposium, Darien High School, May 29, Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator racetrack accelerator accelerates electrons to 6 GeV upgrading to 12 GeV experiments

Science Symposium, Darien High School, May 29, Why are quarks difficult to see? How were electrons first seen? make a glass vacuum tube apply force using electric potential of several kV electrons rip free from atoms electric current flows The world’s first particle accelerator

Science Symposium, Darien High School, May 29, What makes seeing quarks interesting? J.J Thompson: "Could anything at first sight seem more impractical than a body which is so small that its mass is an insignificant fraction of the mass of an atom of hydrogen?" Can we try it again with quarks? people tried, no success

Science Symposium, Darien High School, May 29, % of the mass of ordinary matter is locked up in particles composed of quarks mass is energy – E = mc 2 all of this energy is stored safely in the nuclei of the ordinary elements can additional energy be pumped in and converted to more mass? What makes seeing quarks interesting? new exotic particles

Science Symposium, Darien High School, May 29, Two quarks on a string So what happens when you pull on a quark inside a proton? N. Isgur, 1988: What happens if you stretch the string, and then pluck it? theoretical simulation courtesy of D. Leinweber 1.the quark begins to move 2.a glue string forms 3.the string stretches 4.the quark slows down 5.the quark snaps back – denied!
