  1. The largest contribution to the mass of the atom is: • Higgs field providing fundamental particle mass by interacting with quarks • Einstein’s E = mc2 which accounts for quark motion and interaction • Electric charge • Nuclear binding energies

  2. The impact of a magnetic field on a neutron is: • Slows the neutron down • Speeds the neutron up • Doesn’t affect the neutron • Turns the neutron in a circular arc

  3. Particles may be characterized as MIPs. This basically means: • These are maximally interacting particles with large energy loss in matter • Energy loss per distance traveled is minimal for MIP particles because the processes that determine the interaction depend on the particle energy • These are the most important particles for a particular detector to observe • These are the particles that arrive with greatest numbers, i.e. maximal intensity

  4. The particles that typically travel the farthest in LHC detectors are: • muons • electrons • neutrons • protons

  5. The underlying principle used to develop the Standard Model is: • Mass bends space-time • Charges attract or repel other charges • Symmetry • Probability
