The Standard Model
Classification of particles into quarks, leptons, and baryons, and the exchange particles of fundamental forces.
Key Questions
- 1How do conservation laws for baryon and lepton numbers dictate possible particle interactions?
- 2What evidence supports the existence of quarks if they can never be observed in isolation?
- 3How would an engineer apply particle acceleration to probe the structure of matter?
