These notes were written for the course on Elementary Particle Physics for third-year students at Royal Holloway, University of London. The goal of the course is to become acquainted with the basic …

The Standard Model of particle physics is a theory describing how 12 matter fields interact with 5 fields of force. If one field — say the electron field – starts to move and sway, then it causes the …

The printed PDG Book contains the Summary Tables and all review articles but no longer includes the detailed tables from the Particle Listings. This Particle Physics Booklet includes the Summary Tables …

The Standard Model of particle physics is a theory of elementary particles and the way they interact. It concerns three fundamental interactions, the strong interaction, the electromagnetic interaction and …

Particle physicists now believe they can describe the behavior of all known subatomic particles within a single theoretical framework called the Standard Model, incorporating quarks and leptons and their …

What is Particle Physics? Particle physicists explore the most basic components of our natural world: Particles! Not just particles though, also their interactions, and how they become the things we see …
