IntroducingParticlePhysics Journey into the heart of matter Ravjeet Kour
Topics • Fundamental particle • Leptons & quarks • Properties • Antiparticles • Forces in nature • Carrier of the forces • Properties Ravjeet Kour
So what is particle physics? • Everything in the universe is made of Particle of matter: called fundamental Particles • Particle Physics : Study these Particle • Work out how they interact to make the Universe look and behave the way it does Fundamental elements Ravjeet Kour
What is fundamental Ravjeet Kour
Standard model 6 quarks, 6 leptons Every particle is associated with the antiparticle Ravjeet Kour
Anti particles Ravjeet Kour
Quarks have fractional charge • Each quark has its anti particle • Carry another type of charge: colour charge (P = uud = 2/3+2/3-1/3=1) Ravjeet Kour
colour charge • Quarks & gluons are colour charge particles • Two close quark exchange gluons colour force field 3 colour charges Ravjeet Kour
Properties • Each quark has one of the colour • Red + blue +green = colour neutral (baryon) • Gluon (emission + absorption) changes colour • Colour is conserved Ravjeet Kour
together What holds it Murray Gell-Mann (b. 1929) Ravjeet Kour
what hold it Together Four fundamental forces • Electromagnetism • Strong • Weak • Gravity Ravjeet Kour
Electromagnetism • Force between the two charges • unlike charge attract • like charge repel • Carrier particle are photons • Photons has zero mass & travel with speed of light Ravjeet Kour
Strong forces Attractive force between the nucleons This force overcome the repulsive force within an nucleus Hold the quarks together to form hadrons Carrier particles are called Gluons (8 gluons) Ravjeet Kour
Weak forces • Causes massive quarks & leptons to decay into lighter ones • Force carriers are W+,W- & Z • Responsible for flavour change ( when quark or lepton changes type) Ravjeet Kour
Gravity • Acts between all particles with mass • Carrier are the Gravitons ?? Ravjeet Kour
conclusion Ravjeet Kour
Need for accelerators & detectors Ravjeet Kour
Any questions ? Ravjeet Kour
Leptons • Six type which come in three pair • without color • Tau and muon heavier than electron • Spin ½ particles Ravjeet Kour
Gluons • gluon animation (a). As the quark propagates through nuclear matter, it loses energy by emitting gluons (b) and creating pairs of quarks and anti-quarks (c). As the system begins to return to equilibrium, two-quark systems (pions) are formed Ravjeet Kour
Gluons • Carry colour / anticolour pair • 8 gluons Ravjeet Kour
