These lecture notes form the introduction to the CERN course. They cover the ba-sics of particle physics and are designed to be accessible to students with any scientific background. This …

Section 1.1 introduces four fundamental in-teractions and their characteristics. Section 1.2 introduces different elementary particles with their classifications. Conservation of various …

What is Particle Physics and why do we study it? What are the Elementary particles? What are the basic building blocks of matter in the Universe? What are fundamental forces and how are …

These lectures will cover the core topics of Particle and Nuclear physics. Particle Physics is the study of Matter: Elementary particles Forces: Basic forces in nature Electroweak (EM & weak) …

The aim of this book is to present fundamental concepts in particle physics. This includes topics such as the theories of quantum electrodynamics, quantum chromodynamics, weak …

These notes provide a gentle, but detailed, introduction to particle physics, using little more than high school mathematics. They are written, in part, for the CERN summer school. Please do …

Dirac Formalism, Chirality, Helicity, Why Higgs? (PDF) The lecture notes section lists the different topics taught during the course along with respective files for some of the lectures.

nucleus and elementary particle physics. Students completing this subject will be able to: • explain the modern picture of the atomic nucleus and the physics of elementary particles; and • solve …

ts in both nuclear and particle physics. These include: the long-awaited discovery of the Higgs boson; substantial progress in neutrino physics and symmetry breaking in the weak …

8.701 Fall 2020, Lecture 0.5. Early History and People in Nuclear and Particle Physics

“Pre-particle physics” A simplistic view on matter at 1900: Indivisible atoms form the matter molecules around us, combining only in certain proportions (Richter and Dalton). Avogadro’s …

We introduced the Standard Model of Particle Physics for the rst time: we described the three families (or generations or avours) of quarks and leptons. We discussed their properties such …

Elementary-particle physics deals with the fundamental constituents of mat-ter and their interactions. In the past several decades an enormous amount of experimental information has …

Elementary particle physics addresses the question, "What is matter made of?" on the most fundamental level—which is to say, on the smallest scale of size. It's a remarkable fact that …

MODEL of particle physics : • Explains all current experimental observations ! • Beautiful and simple ! • Forces explained by particle exchange • It is not the ultimate theory –m any mysteries

In 1936, Carl Anderson and Seth Neddermeyer observed a charged particle with intermediate mass in cosmic rays. Its mass was consistent with Yukawa’s meson but it did not interact with …
