The Particle Zoo
219 8 The Particle Zoo 8.1 Introduction Around 1960 the situation in particle physics was very confusing. Elementary particlesa such as the photon, electron, muon and neutrino were known, but in addition many more particles were being discovered and almost any experiment added more to the list. The main property that these new particles had in common was that they were strongly interacting, meaning that they would interact strongly with protons and neutrons. In this they were different from photons, electrons, muons and neutrinos. A muon may actually traverse a nucleus without disturbing it, and a neutrino, being electrically neutral, may go through huge amounts of matter without any interaction. In other words, in some vague way these new particles seemed to belong to the same group of by Dr. Horst Wahl on 08/28/12. For personal use only. particles as the proton and neutron. In those days proton and neutron were mysterious as well, they seemed to be complicated compound states. At some point a classification scheme for all these particles including proton and neutron was introduced, and once that was done the situation clarified considerably. In that Facts And Mysteries In Elementary Particle Physics Downloaded from www.worldscientific.com era theoretical particle physics was dominated by Gell-Mann, who contributed enormously to that process of systematization and clarification. The result of this massive amount of experimental and theoretical work was the introduction of quarks, and the understanding that all those ‘new’ particles as well as the proton aWe call a particle elementary if we do not know of a further substructure. -
The Five Common Particles
The Five Common Particles The world around you consists of only three particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons form the nuclei of atoms, and electrons glue everything together and create chemicals and materials. Along with the photon and the neutrino, these particles are essentially the only ones that exist in our solar system, because all the other subatomic particles have half-lives of typically 10-9 second or less, and vanish almost the instant they are created by nuclear reactions in the Sun, etc. Particles interact via the four fundamental forces of nature. Some basic properties of these forces are summarized below. (Other aspects of the fundamental forces are also discussed in the Summary of Particle Physics document on this web site.)

(Received 14 November 1988) Abstract-Antiproton beams of relatively low energies (below hundreds of MeV) have recently become available. The present article discusses the significance of those beams in the contexts of radiation physics and of atomic and molecular physics. Studies on individual collisions of antiprotons with atoms and molecules are valuable for a better understanding of collisions of protons or electrons, a subject with many applications. An antiproton is unique as' a stable, negative heavy particle without electronic structure, and it provides an excellent opportunity to study atomic collision theory. -
Quantum Field Theory*
Quantum Field Theory y Frank Wilczek Institute for Advanced Study, School of Natural Science, Olden Lane, Princeton, NJ 08540 I discuss the general principles underlying quantum eld theory, and attempt to identify its most profound consequences. The deep est of these consequences result from the in nite number of degrees of freedom invoked to implement lo cality.Imention a few of its most striking successes, b oth achieved and prosp ective. Possible limitation s of quantum eld theory are viewed in the light of its history. I. SURVEY Quantum eld theory is the framework in which the regnant theories of the electroweak and strong interactions, which together form the Standard Mo del, are formulated. Quantum electro dynamics (QED), b esides providing a com- plete foundation for atomic physics and chemistry, has supp orted calculations of physical quantities with unparalleled precision.

Indeed, b ecause in QCD the interactions are stronger, QCD manifests a wider variety of phenomena characteristic of quantum eld theory. These include esp ecially running of the e ective coupling with distance or energy scale and the phenomenon of con nement. -

Section 1.2 of Chapter 3 of these notes). But this applies only to distinguishable particles. In reality, all known particles are indistinguishable. In the coming lectures, we will explore the mathematical and physical consequences of this. First, consider classical many-particle systems. If a single particle has state described by position and momentum (~r; p~), then the state of N distinguishable particles can be written as (~r1; p~1; ~r2; p~2;:::; ~rN ; p~N ). The notation (·; ·;:::; ·) denotes an ordered list, in which different posi tions have different meanings; e.g. in general (~r1; p~1; ~r2; p~2)6 = (~r2; p~2; ~r1; p~1). 1 To describe indistinguishable particles, we can use set notation. -

(Dated: April 2, 2015) Abstract A possible manifestation of an additional light gauge boson A0, named as Dark Photon, associated with a group U(1)B−L is studied in neutrino electron scattering experiments. The exclusion plot on the coupling constant gB−L and the dark photon mass MA0 is obtained. It is shown that contributions of interference term between the dark photon and the Standard Model are important. The interference effects are studied and compared with for data sets from TEXONO, GEMMA, BOREXINO, LSND as well as CHARM II experiments. Our results provide more stringent bounds to some regions of parameter space. PACS numbers: 13.15.+g,12.60.+i,14.70.Pw arXiv:1502.07763v2 [hep-ph] 1 Apr 2015 1 CONTENTS I. Introduction 2 II.

SYMMETRY BREAKING Abstract by Smarajit Triambak This dissertation describes two high-precision measurements concerning isospin symmetry breaking in nuclei. 1. We determined, with unprecedented accuracy and precision, the excitation energy of the lowest T = 2; J ¼ = 0+ state in 32S using the 31P(p; γ) reaction. This excitation energy, together with the ground state mass of 32S, provides the most stringent test of the isobaric multiplet mass equation (IMME) for the A = 32, T = 2 multiplet. We observe a signi¯cant disagreement with the IMME and investigate the possibility of isospin mixing with nearby 0+ levels to cause such an e®ect. In addition, as byproducts of this work, we present a precise determination of the relative γ-branches and an upper limit on the isospin violating branch from the lowest T = 2 state in 32S. 2. We obtained the superallowed branch for the 0+ 0+ Fermi decay of ! 32Ar. This involved precise determinations of the beta-delayed proton and γ branches. The γ-ray detection e±ciency calibration was done using pre- cisely determined γ-ray yields from the daughter 32Cl nucleus from an- other independent measurement using a fast tape-transport system at Texas Smarajit Triambak A&M University. -
The Large Hadron Collider Lyndon Evans CERN – European Organization for Nuclear Research, Geneva, Switzerland
34th SLAC Summer Institute On Particle Physics (SSI 2006), July 17-28, 2006 The Large Hadron Collider Lyndon Evans CERN – European Organization for Nuclear Research, Geneva, Switzerland 1. INTRODUCTION The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is now in its final installation and commissioning phase. It is a two-ring superconducting proton-proton collider housed in the 27 km tunnel previously constructed for the Large Electron Positron collider (LEP). It is designed to provide proton-proton collisions with unprecedented luminosity (1034cm-2.s-1) and a centre-of-mass energy of 14 TeV for the study of rare events such as the production of the Higgs particle if it exists. In order to reach the required energy in the existing tunnel, the dipoles must operate at 1.9 K in superfluid helium. In addition to p-p operation, the LHC will be able to collide heavy nuclei (Pb-Pb) with a centre-of-mass energy of 1150 TeV (2.76 TeV/u and 7 TeV per charge). By modifying the existing obsolete antiproton ring (LEAR) into an ion accumulator (LEIR) in which electron cooling is applied, the luminosity can reach 1027cm-2.s-1. The LHC presents many innovative features and a number of challenges which push the art of safely manipulating intense proton beams to extreme limits. The beams are injected into the LHC from the existing Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at an energy of 450 GeV. After the two rings are filled, the machine is ramped to its nominal energy of 7 TeV over about 28 minutes. In order to reach this energy, the dipole field must reach the unprecedented level for accelerator magnets of 8.3 T. -

C18-10-22. 1 Introduction The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) [1,2,3,4] is a proposed future linear e+e− collider based on a novel two-beam accelerator scheme [5], which in recent years has reached several milestones and established the feasibility of accelerating structures necessary for a new large scale accelerator facility (see e.g. [6]). The project is foreseen to be carried out in stages which aim at precision studies of Standard Model particles such as the Higgs boson and the top quark and allow the exploration of new physics at the high energy frontier. The detailed staging of the project is presented in Ref. [7,8], where plans for the target luminosities at each energy are outlined. These targets can be adjusted easily in case of discoveries at the Large Hadron Collider or at earlier CLIC stages. In fact the collision energy, up to 3 TeV, can be set by a suitable choice of the length of the accelerator and the duration of the data taking can also be adjusted to follow hints that the LHC may provide in the years to come.
