Physics Trivia : Welcome to Particle Physics
CERN's main focus is particle physics – the study of the fundamental constituents of matter – but the physics programme at the laboratory is much broader, ranging from nuclear to high-energy physics, from studies of antimatter to the possible effects of cosmic rays on clouds.
Since the 1970s, particle physicists have described the fundamental structure of matter using an elegant series of equations called the Standard Model.
Since the 1970s, particle physicists have described the fundamental structure of matter using an elegant series of equations called the Standard Model.
The model describes how everything that they observe in the universe is made from a few basic blocks called fundamental particles, governed by four forces.
