What is the Standard Model of Particle Physics ????1. A theory of three of the four known

fundamental interactions and the elementary particles that take part in these interactions.

2. The 4 fundamental interactions are: Electromagnetism force that causes the

interaction between electrically charged particles

Strong Interaction strongest of interactions that can involve protons and neutrons

Weak Interaction the weakest of the interactions that is due to the exchange of the heavy W and Z bosons.

Gravitation we are most familiar with this; It is the means by which objects with mass attract one another ( not included in this theory)

3. It is not a law yet4. It is used to explain the existence of

all particles that have been observed and the forces that hold atoms together or lead to their decay

5. Particles, according to this theory, are described as force carriers because forces are brought about as a result of an exchange of particles

6. Particles can be classified according to the types of interactions they have with other particles

7. This leads to a large variation of subatomic particles

Hadron = particle that interacts through the strong nuclear force, electromagnetic, weak, and gravitational forces

Can be subdivided into 2 groups = Baryons & Mesons

Protons + Neutrons = hadrons

Lepton= particle that interacts through the electromagnetic, weak , and gravitational forces, but not a strong nuclear force

A leptons mass is less than a proton( Lepton Mass < proton) Made up of : Electrons, positrons, and

neutrinos = leptons

Positron = particle whose mass is equal to the mass of the electron, and whose positive electric charge is equal in magnitude to the negative charge of the electron

Neutrino = neutral particle that has little mass but does possess energy and momentum

•Baryon – elementary particle that can be transformed into a proton or neutron and mesons and lighter particles (known for its heavy particles) ( one of the groups made out of hadrons)

o Mesons - particle of intermediate mass

Antiparticles- particle having mass, lifetime, and spin identical to the associated particle, but with an opposite charge and magnetic moment reversed in sign.

They are identified by a bar over the symbol of their particle

Example: An antiproton would be a p with a bar over it which indicates that it is a stable baryon carrying a unit negative charge, but has the same mass as a proton

The antiparticle exists for the neutrino ( they are identical except for their direction of spin)

Antimatter- material made up of atoms that are composed of antiprotons, antineutrons & positrons

Makes up the particles inside baryons & mesons It is one of the basic particles and has multiple charges,

which causes some of the elementary particles to be built Names for quark are: strange, top, bottom, up, down,

charmBaryons= 3 quarks & 1 antiquark Mesons = 1 quark & 1 antiquark Antiquark = antiparticle of the quark; it has the

opposite electric charge, baryon number & strangenessQaurk in protons are uud ( up up down) Quark in neutrons are udd ( up down down) When quarks combine to make baryons there charge

adds up to zero

INTRODUCTIONAfter Ernest Rutherford proposed his nuclear

model, physicists began to question whether the nucleus had a structure of its own.

There is still no complete answer to this question.

However in the mid 1930s, a simple nuclear model was in place.

NucleonsThe components of the nucleus are called

nucleons and are described by a number of properties including electric charge.

Nuclear charge is measured by elementary charge(e) rather than the coulomb.

Two principal nucleons are the proton and the neutron.

Nuclear symbolsAll atomic nuclei and their components

nucleons are represented by the same general symbol

The symbol identifies the particle, atomic number, indicates the number of elementary charge present and the mass number.

IsotopesNuclei that have the same atomic number but

have different mass numbers are called isotopes.

Classification of subatomic particles part 1Hadron: a particle that intersects through the

strong nuclear force as well as the electromagnetic, weak and strong gravitational force.

Lepton: a particle that intersects through the electromagnetic, weak gradational forces, but not the strong nuclear force.

C.o.s.p part2Positron: a particle whose mass is equal to

the mass of the electron, and whose positive electric charge is equal in magnitude to the negative charge of the electron

Neutrino: a neutral particle that has little, if any mass, but does not possess both energy and momentum.

Baryon: an elementary particle that can be transformed into a proton or neutron, and some number of mesons and lighter particles.

C.o.s.p part 3Meson: a particle of intermediate massAntiparticle: a particle having mass, lifetime

and spin identical to the associated particle, but with charge of opposite sign and magnetic moment reversed in sign.

Antimatter: is material consisting of atoms that are composed of antiprotons, antineutrons and positrons.

The QuarkThe quark is one of the basic particles Having charges of −1⁄3 or +2⁄3 Many of the elementary particles may be

built upName by: up, down, charm, strange, top and

bottom

The antiquarkThe antiparticle of the quark, having an

electric charge, baryon number and strangeness opposite in sign to that of the corresponding quark

When quarks combine to form baryons, their charges add algebraically to a total of 0, +1 or -1.
