The Top QuarkThe Standard Model predicts the existence of the TOP quark
which is required to explain a number of observations.

Detecting NeutrinosNeutrinos are detected by observing the lepton produced in CHARGED CURRENT interactions with nuclei.
e.g.
Size Matters: Neutrino mean free path in water ~ light-years. Require very large mass, cheap and simple detectors Water Cherenkov detection
Cherenkov radiation Light is emitted when a charged particle traverses a dielectric medium A coherent wavefront forms when the velocity of a charged particle exceeds c/n (n = refractive index) Cherenkov radiation is emitted in a cone i.e. at fixed angle with respect to the particle.

Neutrino Mixing
The quark states which take part in the WEAK interaction (d’, s’)
are related to the flavour (mass) states (d, s)
Assume the same thing happens for neutrinos. Consider only the first two generations.
e.g. in + decay produce + and i.e. the state that couples to the weak interaction. The corresponds to a linear combination of the states with definite mass, and

Problems with the Standard ModelThe Standard Model successfully describes ALL existing particle physics data (with the exception of neutrino oscillations).
BUT: many input parameters:Quark and lepton masses
Quark charges
Couplings
Quark generation mixing
AND: many unanswered questions:
Why so many free parameters ? Why only 3 generations of quarks and leptons ? Where does mass come from ? (Higgs boson?) Why is the neutrino mass so small and the top quark mass so large ? Why are the charges of the p and e identical ? What is responsible for the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry ? How can we include gravity ?

Acquiring mass via the Higgs MechanismThe Higgs mechanism introduces a NEW (Higgs) field into the vacuum which interacts with particles that propagate through it.
Analogy:
Consider electromagnetic radiation, frequency , passing through a plasma.
Because the plasma acts as a polarisable medium obtain “dispersion relation”. From “Part IB EM course” find:
for waves of energy .
Re-arranging for E, find: where .
i.e. Massless photon in a plasma behaves like massive particle in vacuo.
Massless fermion in Higgs-Field behaves like massive particle in classical vacuum.
[Plus: excitations of Higgs-Field are spin-0 (scalar) Higgs Bosons.]

Summary
At this point my story about particle physics ends……
Over the past 30 years our understanding of the fundamental particles and forces of nature has changed beyond recognition.
The Standard Model of particle physics is an enormous success. It has been tested to very high precision and describes ALL experimental observations.
However, we are beginning to get hints that physics beyond the Standard Model is at work (e.g. neutrino oscillations).
We expect that the next few years will bring many more (un)expected surprises (Higgs boson, SUSY, etc).
