A short journey to the infinitely small
Fundamentals of
Particle Physics
• Building blocks: particles and forces
• Current areas of research
Stefania Ricciardi
RAL, March 2009
Warning
This journey may change your vision of the Universe.
What you will hear may alter your perception of reality.
Stay awake and keep an open mind!
We are entering a Quantum World..
We and all things around us are made of
atoms
Human Hair

= 0.000050 m
Atom ~ 10-10 m
= 0.0000000001 m

Atoms
Atoms are all similarly made of:
- protons and neutrons in the nucleus
- electrons orbiting around
proton
The electron was the
first elementary
particle to be
discovered
(JJ Thomson 1897)
Protons,
neutrons are
made up of
quarks

<10-18 m
<10-1 8
m
~ 10
-10
m
~ 10-14 m
~ 10-15 m
Atoms and sub-atomic particles are much smaller than visible light wave-length
Therefore, we cannot really “see” them (all graphics are artist’s impressions)
To learn about the sub-atomic structure we need particle accelerators
Wave-particle duality of Nature
Central concept of quantum mechanics:
all particles present wave-like properties
Not only light has a dual nature
De Broglie showed that moving particles have an
equivalent wavelength
1
p
So high momentum gives us
short wavelengths so we can
make out small details

Rutherford: atoms are not elementary
particles!
1911
Rutherford found a nucleus in the atom by
firing alpha particles at gold and observing
them bounce back

Is the whole Universe made only of
quarks and electrons?
No! There are also neutrinos!
Electron, proton and neutrons are rarities!
For each of them in the Universe there is 1 billion neutrinos
Neutrinos are the most abundant matter-particles in the
Universe!
Within each cm3 of
space: ~300 neutrinos
from Big Bang
1 cm
1 cm
Neutrinos are everywhere!
in the outer space, on Earth, in our bodies..
Neutrinos get under your skin!
Every cm2 of Earth surface is
crossed every second by more
than 10 billion (1010) neutrinos
produced in the Sun
14 neutrinos
per second from Sun
are zipping through you
Within your body at any instant:
roughly 30 million neutrinos from
the Big Bang
No worries!
Neutrinos do not harm us.
Our bodies are transparent to neutrinos

Force Particles (summary)
Particles interact and/or decay thanks to forces
Forces are also responsible of binding particles together
Strong: gluons

colour charge)

Gravity: graviton?
Quarks and charged leptons (no
neutrinos)

Negligible effects on particles
The Standard Model
Framework which includes:
Matter
• 6 quarks
• 6 leptons
Grouped in three generations
Forces
• Electroweak:
(photon)
- Z0 , W ±
• Strong
- g (gluon)
H= the missing ingredient: the Higgs Boson
Not gravity! No quantum
field theory of gravity yet..
Very successful to describe all observed phenomena in the
subatomic world so far. But there ought to be more..

Looking for a simple elegant unified theory
Open question:
Why is the Universe made of matter and
not equally
of anti-matter?
• We have seen that for every fundamental particle there
is a corresponding antiparticle.
• Where are these anti-particles?
• Large amount of matter but no evidence of large
amount of antimatter in the Universe..
Why has all the anti-matter gone?
matter
Puff
Anti-matter
Good thing for us that there is no antimatter around!
The development of the Universe containing
matter and no antimatter requires that
matter and antimatter behave differently
This phenomenon is due to CP violation..
CP Violation
• CP = Charge Conjugation (reverse charge) x Parity (reverse spatial
coordinates as in a mirror)
“Nobody
is perfect”
CP
beauty
B0
anti-beauty
B0
CP-Violation: B0 and B0 do not behave exactly in the same way
(their decay pattern as a function of time is different)
Discovery of CP violation in the
B-meson system at Babar (SLAC, 2001)
A visible difference is detected, but tiny, not enough
to explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe
The CPV quest will go on at LHC

Another open question:
What is the Dark Matter?
•
Astronomical observations have shown that “observable” mass represent less than 4% of the Universe!
Visible Matter
Dark Matter
False-color images
The brightness of clumps
corresponds to the
density of mass.
•
What is dark matter? We don’t really know …
– Perhaps partially composed of neutrinos, or possibly neutralinos particles predicted by super-symmetric theories beyond
the Standard Model?
Looking for Dark Matter at the Boulby
Underground Laboratory
Puzzling neutrinos
Almost no interactions (only weak)
• Can cross light-years of material without being affected
• Can travel from the most remote corners of the Universe bringing
information from the origin of space and time
Neutrinos do matter to us:
If there were no neutrinos
the sun would not shine!

years (1969-1999)

…and observing only 1/3 of the expected flux!! Why?

If you let the neutrino travel enough,
it can change its flavour!

SuperKamiokande is measuring neutrinos born in the atmosphere
above the detector..

..and below the detector (on the other side of the Earth!!)

What have we learnt?
•
A number of surprising things:
– A limited number of forces and matter particles describe all the Universe
we know about;
– A theory of the interactions of matter with forces called the Standard
Model describes successfully the phenomena of the subatomic world;
– There are evidences that there is lot more that we do not know about and
our research should find: such as the missing anti-matter, dark matter,
puzzling neutrino properties, but also the Standard Model key-vault ..the
Higgs!
Looking into the future
• The Higgs should be found at the LHC…
please be patient for a few more hours….and
you will learn about the Higgs, the LHC, and
much more!
