Particle physics
- Particle physics is the study of fundamental particles and their interactions.
- The field includes accelerators, experiments, and theoretical models to understand current and predict future experiments.
- Theoretical particle physics develops models, frameworks, and mathematical tools to understand experiments and make predictions.
- Theorists make quantitative predictions of observables at collider and astronomical experiments.
- Model building in theoretical particle physics explores physics beyond the Standard Model.
- String theory is a major effort in theoretical particle physics, aiming to construct a unified description of quantum mechanics and general relativity.
- Particle accelerators are used in medical isotopes, external beam radiotherapy, and other applications.
- Major efforts are underway to look for physics beyond the Standard Model, including the Future Circular Collider and the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel.
