Particle physics is the study of the elementary building blocks of matter and radiation and their interaction. The fundamental particles are summarized by the standard model.
Physicists around the world (myself included) are hoping that this week will mark the beginning of a new era of discovery. And not, as some fear, the end of particle physics as we know it.
The Standard Model is a kind of periodic table of the elements for particle physics. But instead of listing the chemical elements, it lists the fundamental particles that make up the atoms that make up the chemical elements, along with any other particles that cannot be broken down into any smaller pieces.
Particle physics is the branch of physics that studies the nature of the particles that constitute matter and radiation. Although the word "particle" can refer to various types of very small objects, "particle physics" usually investigates the irreducibly smallest detectable particles and the irreducibly fundamental force fields necessary to explain them.
Particle physics is the study of the basic elements of matter and the forcesacting among them. It aims to determine the fundamental laws that control themake-up of matter and the physical universe.
