Particle Physics
Map the fundamental particles and forces that make up the universe.
collision and conservationΣp before = Σp after
Particle physics infers invisible interactions from detector tracks and energy deposits. “Fundamental” means no smaller constituents are known in the model:not that the object is a tiny classical ball.
beam energy60 GeV
event classtwo jets
charge checkbalanced
Raise the beam energy and predict what the collision can make. The detector sees an event pattern; the conservation laws constrain its interpretation.
