The Standard Model Introduction: What is Particle Physics? What Questions does it try to answer? The Standard Model: What it is and what it is not Unification of Forces Unification of Matter Some examples of combining matter and forces Creation of the Universe Ahren Sadoff, Prof. of Physics

Particle Physics and its Questions Particle Physics: The study of the basic building blocks of matter and the interactions between them Some questions that drive this research: Are there fundamental constituents of matter in the Universe? If so, what are they and what are their properties? What are forces and how are they transmitted? What is mass? What is anti-matter and where did it all go? What does this tell us about the origins of the Universe and its fate?

The Standard Model What is it? The b est theoretical framework we have for particle physics today It has been a remarkable success BUT we know it is incomplete So, what does the phrase “STANDARD MODEL” mean? A unification of all matter into two types of particles A unification of the Electromagnetic and Weak Nuclear forces A description of the interaction between fundamental particles in terms of the exchange of fundamental force particles Some things it does not do: It does not unify the Strong and Electro-Weak forces (GUTS?) It ignores Gravity, so does not tell us anything about how it might be unified with the other forces ( TOE ?) It does not explain why there are so many generations of particles It does not explain the disappearance of anti-matter in the Universe.

Unification of Matter First Attempt air water fire earth

How are Forces transmitted? In the 19-th century the Force Field was proposed Q q E G M m In Quantum Mechanics a particle associated with each Force Field transmits the force (our most modern view)

How do particles create forces? e.g. Electromagnetic Force

Back to the Unification of Matter

The Fundamental Particles of Nature Matter Particles: spin 1/2 Force Particles (Bosons): Integer spin 1 Gev = 10 9 eV, (mc 2 ) proton ≈ 1 GeV

Some Force Diagrams Electromagnetic Strong Nuclear proton

Weak Nuclear d dd uu W -- ∆E∆t › h/2π: Uncertainty Principle W -- e -- ν d neutron proton u Beta (β) decay: n -> p + e - + ν

How do Forces merge (or Freeze-out) ? e.g. Electro-Weak Unification At energies ›› 100 GeV the Z 0 and photon can be equally produced (i.e. the two forces act the same) ElectromagneticWeak-Nuclear
