These tools can reside on your desktop. They can be used to compute many fundamental processes. What they lack is only the “hadronization”

of the final state quarks and gluons and the “underlying event”

soft particles. (interface to Pythia)

What they provide is a rapid understanding of the basics of collider physics.

The e-

was discovered by Thompson ~ 1900. The nucleus was discovered by Rutherford in ~ 1920. The e+, the first antiparticle, was found in ~ 1930. The μ , indicating a second “generation”, was discovered in ~ 1936.

There was an explosion of baryons and mesons discovered in the 1950s and 1960s. They were classified in a "periodic table" using the SU(3) symmetry group, whose physical realization was point like, strongly interacting, fractionally charged "quarks". Direct evidence for quarks and gluons came in the early 1970s.

The exposition of the 3 generations of quarks and leptons is only just, 1996, completed with the top quark discovery and the observation of the neutrino associated with the tau lepton in 2002 at Fermilab. In the mid 1980s the unification of the weak and electromagnetic force was confirmed by the W and Z discoveries at CERN.

The LHC, starting in 2009, will be THE tool to explore the origin of the breaking of the electroweak symmetry (Higgs field?) and the origin of mass itself. The Higgs boson is postulated to be responsible for

the mass of all the known elementary particles.

The Standard Model of Elementary Particle Physics

The Standard Model of Elementary The Standard Model of Elementary Particle PhysicsParticle Physics

Matter consists of half integral spin fermions. The strongly interacting fermions are called quarks. The fermions with only electroweak interactions are called leptons. The uncharged leptons are called neutrinos.

The forces are carried by integral spin bosons. The strong force

is carried by 8 gluons (g), the electromagnetic force by the photon (γ), and the weak interaction by the W+

Zo

and W-. The g and γ

are massless, while the W and Z have ~ 80, 91 GeV

mass. The postulated Higgs boson is a scalar.

Strong interactions : quarks carry color as do gluons. Because of this non-Abelian

property the strong coupling diverges at low mass scales and vanishes at high mass scales. The latter property makes perturbative

calculation in p-p

possible. There are 3 low mass quark flavors ( u, d, s) that bind into the observed low mass mesons and baryons in SU(3) multiplets.
