Described by quantum mechanics, they can be viewed as structureless and dimensionless points or as waves. All other particles are complex entities that derive their three-dimensional existence from the relationships of their constituent elementary particles.

For example, the electromagnetic force is carried by photons change Standard Model One of the central concepts of particle physics is called the Standard Model . The Standard Model is a theory which tries to explain the fundamental forces . The Standard Model combined with General Relativity is currently the best explanation of how the Universe works. The Standard Model is known to have problems. For example, there is nothing in the standard model that explains gravity . This is why General Relativity , a different theory, needs to be included in order for physicists to explain the Universe. There is a lot of work to improve the theory and/or find a better theory is being done. This work is often called theoretical particle physics, a category of physics. Theoretical particle physicists make theories that improve the Standard Model. One example of this is how there are many theories that predict

Particle Physics Resources While the history of particle physics is rich and fascinating, we will touch on just a few of the highlights. For instance, one type of matter we are not aware of in our day-to-day experience is the elementary particle called the neutrino , which is actually amongst the most numerous of all particles in the universe; every cubic centimetre of space is flooded with them. Nevertheless, neutrinos hardly interact with other particles, and so rarely make their presence known. Indeed, first theorized in 1930 by Wolfgang Pauli, neutrinos were not observed until 1956, a very difficult experiment that was awarded the 1995 Nobel Prize in physics.

These can only be solved, however, if all forces are joined together in national and international research networks. This wide-ranging kind of cooperation has a long tradition at DESY. The construction of the HERA accelerator was a prime example of successful international cooperation. After the switch-off of HERA, particle physicists at DESY now concentrate on the large-scale international facilities LHC, ILC and IceCube, which call for new forms of cooperation both on the national and international level. Particle physics detector At the initiative of DESY, all the German universities and institutes working on the LHC and ILC joined forces in a so-called Helmholtz Alliance. The common goal of the partners in the Alliance “Physics at the Terascale” is to bundle and enhance the expert knowledge in particle physics at German research institutions. The term “Terascale” refers to the energy realm of teraelectronvolts, which the LHC – and later the ILC – are about to reach. Particle physicists are expecting decisive new discoveries to occur at the Terascale. Partners in the Alliance are 17 universities, the two Helmholtz centres DESY and Research Centre Karlsruhe as well as the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich.

Fermilab builds and operates the facilities that high-energy physicists need to do forefront research, and develops new accelerator technology for the experiments of the future. Fermilab is the largest U.S. laboratory for research in high-energy physics and is second only to CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, in the world. About 2,500 scientific users, scientists from universities and laboratories throughout the U.S. and around the world, use Fermilab for their research. The primary instruments for high-energy physics are accelerators, especially colliders, in which counter-rotating beams of particles are brought into collision. The highest-energy collider in the U.S. is the Fermilab Tevatron. Because of the nature of their experiments, high-energy physicists must do their research in collaboration with large laboratories like Fermilab. Since it is an essential part of the academic research enterprise, Fermilab is operated by Universities Research Association, a consortium of 90 research universities.

An introduction to Particle Physics Particle physics is the study of the basic elements of matter and the forcesacting among them. It aims to determine the fundamental laws that control themake-up of matter and the physical universe. RAL is one of the leading laboratories investigating this. Probing Particles Experiments at particle accelerators, such as LEP , where sub-atomic particles collide at very high energies, reveal details of particlesand conditions that prevailed just after the Big Bang over 15 billion years ago. Most experiments involve large international collaborations and are performed atoverseas laboratories such as CERN in Geneva and DESY in Hamburg. These collaborations typically involve more than 300 people and the work at CERN is supported by 19 European countries. Accelerators The accelerator is the basic tool of particle physics. It allows us to createthe particle collisions that we want to study in our own laboratories. The highenergy collisions between particles that physicists are interested in do occurnaturally but the events are unpredictable and the number that can be observed(in cosmic rays ) is low.
