What Is Particle Physics? We aim to answer the question: “ What is the world made of? ” Want to know the basic particles Want to know the forces that hold them together

What Are the Basic Particles? How far can we keep breaking matter into smaller pieces? … forever?

Periodic Table Soon get to Elements In 1860 ’ s Mendeleev arranged the elements by property into Periodic Table Surely too many to all be fundamental? Gaps in the table – predicted new elements Deduce an underlying structure - Atoms

Are Atoms Fundamental? Around 100 years ago atoms thought to be “ indivisible balls ” Rutherford took large gold atoms and fired radioactive particles at them He found that most of the particles went straight through BUT occasionally some did bounce back …

A New Picture of the Atom Atom is dense nucleus surrounded by cloud of electrons Now understand experiment Most of atom is empty space !

Is the Nucleus Fundamental? Do similar experiment to Rutherford Fire nuclei at each other … Find nucleus made of smaller particles, protons and neutrons

Is the Proton Fundamental? In the 1960s physicists began to collide protons together To their horror, found LOTS of particles –  … Is there a pattern? Can we deduce some underlying structure?

Finding Patterns Like Mendeleev, group particles with similar properties together Patterns  Substructure In 1964 Murray Gell-Mann suggested that the hundreds of particles found could all be made of just three quarks* He called them up, down and strange *the word is from Finnegan ’ s Wake by James Joyce

Model of Atom Today Quarks and electrons are fundamental As far as we can tell no further substructure

Powers of Ten For very large or very small numbers it is easier to use powers of ten, e.g. 100,000,000 = = Note: 1 = 10 0

How Small Is A Particle? Molecule m Atom m Nucleus m Proton m Quark < m

How Small Is A Particle?

We ’ re Not Finished Yet! In 1930s beta decay was not understood – there was missing energy Pauli grudgingly introduced a new particle to account for this – the neutrino The electron and neutrino are collectively called leptons

Antimatter Too! In 1932 Anderson discovered the positron For every particle there is also an antiparticle Antimatter just like ordinary matter but with opposite charge electron negative, positron positive!

Creating New Particles positron (e + )electron (e - ) muon (  - ) antimuon (  + ) E=mc 2 !

The Fundamental Particles There are only 12 fundamental particles of matter (also the antiparticles)

Discovery Timeline  1897electron  1933neutrino  1937muon  1964up, down, strange  1974charm  1975tau  1977bottom  1996top

What About Forces? Particles interact with each other via forces There are four types – gravity, electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces Each is described by the exchange of a force-carrying particle between the matter particles

The Four Forces of Nature

How Do We Know All This? All our experiments involve colliding particles Matter and antimatter are accelerated to near light-speed by an accelerator They are brought together inside a detector and collide They annihilate and their energy is released to create new particles according to E=mc 2

The LEP Accelerator at CERN

How Detectors Work A detector does various jobs … Track the positions of particles Measure energy of particles Detector layered like an onion Each layer measures different things

The OPAL Detector at CERN

A View Inside

Finding Information In the inner layers magnetic fields are used to find the charge and momentum of particles In the outer layers the energy of the particles are measured

A Picture From a Detector

Summary There are 12 fundamental matter particles, the Quarks and Leptons There are 4 forces transmitted by particles Accelerators are used to collide and study particles
