Particle physicists seek to understand what are the fundamentalbuilding blocs of Nature and how they interact to make up our Universe.

What are we trying to understand?■ Origin of mass
■ No unified description of all forces including gravity
■ What is the Dark matter of the Univers?

■ “What's the matter with anti-matter?”
■ Matter behaves slightly differently thananti-matter (CP violation)

Use a giant “microscope”: a particle accelerator
How do we study elementary particles?
![Page 13: Experimental Particle PhysicsJanuary 2007 1 billion collisions per second 200 “photos” per second Trigger System 3.2 PB data / year (4.6 Million CD = 695 year of music) ATLAS Trigger](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042017/5e756aa0bb54685f2f285f26/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How do we use a particle accelerator?Instructions:
1) Fill accelerator with a large number of particles that travel in oppositedirections.
2) Accelerate these particles to the highest possible energy.
3) Bring beams of particle traveling in opposite directions into collision.
4) Take “pictures” of what comesout of these collisions
5) Analyze billions of “pictures” tostudy how nature works.

E = mc2Energy Mass Speed of light
(3 x 108 m/s)
Why does that work?
![Page 15: Experimental Particle PhysicsJanuary 2007 1 billion collisions per second 200 “photos” per second Trigger System 3.2 PB data / year (4.6 Million CD = 695 year of music) ATLAS Trigger](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042017/5e756aa0bb54685f2f285f26/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
During a collision, the kinetic energy of colliding particles isconverted to mass to form new massive secondary particles.This is how we can create unstable massive particles and studytheir properties.

How to “see” what happens in a collision?We use a fancy camera that takes 3D pictures: particle detector
