LECTURE 11 PARTICLE PHENOMENOLOGY, PARTICLES AND QUANTUM NUMBERS PHY492 Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics Elementary Particles February 3, 2014 PHY492, Lecture 11 2 Elementary Particles February 3, 2014 PHY492, Lecture 11 3 Fermions Leptons : elementary particles in the standard model All have spin = 1/2 February 3, 2014 Quarks : strongly interacting particles fundamental constituents of matter, but cannot be detected directly All have spin = 1/2 11 PHY492, Lecture 4 Bosons Higgs? Mass = 125 GeV/c2 Electric charge = 0 Bosons : Responsible for the manifestation of forces, All have integer spin, Higgs, if it exists, plays a special role in mass generation February 3, 2014 PHY492, Lecture 11 5 Particle Interactions February 3, 2014 PHY492, Lecture 11 6 Elementary Particles Higgs February 3, 2014 PHY492, Lecture 11 7 Particle Interactions February 3, 2014 PHY492, Lecture 11 8 Basic reference Particle Physics: http://pdg.lbl.gov Particle data (mass, charge, etc) summary detail Reviews and tools/Formulae February 3, 2014 PHY492, Lecture 11 9 Unsolved Mysteries February 3, 2014 PHY492, Lecture 11 10 Quantum Numbers: Bosons Par$cle Charge Spin T3 Photon 0 1 -‐ W+ +1 1 +1 W-‐ -‐1 1 -‐1 Z0 0 1 -‐ Gluon 0 1 0 Higgs 0 0 0 These are a bit complicated.
