• Leptons– Electron , muon and tau – all negatively charged– Radioactive decay produces a different particle –
neutrino () . There are three types of neutrino!
• Quarks– have fractional electric charges and are never seen
alone!(qqq or q+antiquark make up hadrons like proton,pion …)
– Each quark also is found with three different colour charges
– Proton mass ~ 1 GeV, top quark mass ~175 GeV
• Both– Three ‘generations’ of quarks and leptons– All quarks and leptons have antiparticles– Quarks and Leptons are all spin ½ particles
Basic constituents

Basic Forces
• Gravitational – by far the weakest force
• Electromagnetic – vital for atomic structure
• Strong – holds quarks inside the proton
• Weak – responsible for radioactive decay and nuclear reactions in sun and stars

All quarks and leptons are fermions (spin ½)
All force carriers are bosons (spin 1)

The discovery of the W and Z dramatically confirmed the electroweak theory. Its unification of the seemingly unrelated phenomena of nuclear beta decay and electromagnetism is one of the major achievements of twentieth century physics.

Gravity – solar system, galaxies …Electromagnetic – atoms, electricity …..
Weak force
Strong – binds quarks inside proton
Weak – beta decay, how stars generate energy

Some of the big questions
Where do the particles get their mass from?
Where has all the anti-matter gone?
What is dark matter made of?
What else is out there?

What is Mass?
In the mid 1960s, British physicist Peter Higgs came up with a theory on why some particles have mass.
He proposed a new heavy particle, now called the Higgs boson, which generates a Higgs field.
Particles who ‘feel’ this field gain mass. Light particles don’t feel this field strongly, heavy particles do.

What is Dark Matter?
Normal: Made from atoms Includes stars, planets, people…
Dark matter: Unknown substance (not atoms) May be a “fat cousin” of light (SUSY) Hope to make & study it at the LHC
Dark energy: Even weirder!

A basic calorimeter
Total # of particles is proportional to energy of incoming particle
Active detector slices produce a signal proportional to the number of charged particles traversing
