Particle Physics

Particle Physics is the branch of physics that studies the fundamental particles of the universe and the forces through which they interact. It aims to understand the properties, relationships, and behaviors of elementary particles such as quarks, leptons, and bosons, which constitute matter and mediate fundamental forces. Particle physics often involves high-energy experiments, such as those conducted in particle accelerators, where particles are collided at high speeds to observe their interactions and decay processes. The field is governed by the Standard Model of particle physics, which describes the known elementary particles and their interactions via electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. Research in particle physics contributes to our understanding of the universe’s origins, structure, and the fundamental laws governing physical phenomena.
