Flashcards on Particle Physics
Click on the flashcard to see the answer
What is a particle?
A particle is a tiny fundamental unit of matter or energy.
What is particle physics?
Particle physics is the branch of physics that studies the fundamental particles and forces that make up the universe.
What are the four fundamental forces in particle physics?
The four fundamental forces are gravity, electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force, and the strong nuclear force.
What is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)?
The Large Hadron Collider is the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator.
What is a hadron?
A hadron is a particle composed of quarks held together by the strong nuclear force.
What is the Higgs boson?
The Higgs boson is an elementary particle that gives other particles mass.
What is antimatter?
Antimatter is composed of particles that have the same mass as normal matter particles but opposite charge.
What is a quark?
A quark is a type of elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter.
What is the Standard Model of particle physics?
The Standard Model is a theory that describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong nuclear forces, and the elementary particles that make up matter.
What is dark matter?
Dark matter is an invisible substance that is thought to make up a significant portion of the universe's mass.
What is dark energy?
Dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy that is thought to explain the accelerating expansion of the universe.
What is a neutrino?
A neutrino is a nearly massless particle that interacts weakly with matter.
What is a boson?
A boson is a type of elementary particle that carries force or energy.
What is the purpose of particle accelerators?
Particle accelerators are used to study the behavior and properties of particles at high speeds and energies.
What is the significance of the development of quantum field theory in particle physics?
Quantum field theory provides a framework for describing the behavior of particles and their interactions.
