	Elementary Particle Physics Glossary
		Particle theories predict the probabilities of various possible events occurring when many similar collisions or decays are studied.
		A process in which a particle decays or it responds to a force due to the presence of another particle (as in a collision).
		The rest mass of a particle is the mass defined by the energy of the isolated (free) particle at rest, divided by the speed of light squared.

		Particle physics is a branch of physics that studies the elementary constituents of matter and radiation, and the interactions between them.
		Strictly speaking, the term particle is a misnomer because the dynamics of particle physics are governed by quantum mechanics.

	Elementary particle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the modern theory of particle physics, the Standard Model, the quarks, leptons, and gauge bosons are elementary particles.
		Elementary particles are grouped according to spin: particles normally associated with matter are fermions, having spin 1/2; they are divided into twelve flavours.
		Particles associated with fundamental forces are bosons, having spin 1 (or 2 for gravity).

		Elementary-particle physics—the study of elementary particles and their interactions—is also called high-energy physics, because the energy involved in probing extremely small distances is very high, as the uncertainty principle dictates.
		Particle physics is the latest stage in the study of smaller and smaller building blocks of matter.
		Particles may also be classified in terms of their spin, or angular momentum, as bosons or fermions.

		The elementary particles of matter interact with one another through four distinct types of force: gravitation, electromagnetism, and the forces from strong interactions and weak interactions.
		Fermi-Dirac statistics apply to those particles restricted by the Pauli exclusion principle; particles obeying the Fermi-Dirac statistics are known as fermions.
		The strongly interacting particles were classified as either mesons or baryons; it is now known that mesons consist of quark-antiquark pairs and that baryons consist of quark triplets.

		The electron is one of a class of subatomic particles called leptons which are believed to be fundamental particles (that is, they cannot be broken down into smaller constituent parts).
		The word "particle" is somewhat misleading however, because quantum mechanics show that electrons sometimes behave like a wave, e.g.
		In the Standard Model of particle physics, it forms a doublet in SU(2) with the electron neutrino, as they interact through the weak interaction.

		The committee that was assembled included quite a few individuals from outside the field of particle physics; in fact, half the committee members were not experts in particle physics, and yet each one had an important perspective to contribute.
		As the field of particle physics took shape in the middle of the century, America’s scientists focused on experiments designed to measure and explain the properties and forces governing the ultimate constituents of matter.
		The committee felt strongly that because of the increasing cost and complexity of particle physics experiments, and the need to deploy public funds in the most effective and responsible manner, it is more important than ever for all the major programs in particle physics to leverage their resources by working together internationally.

		At one time the elementary particles of matter were the atoms of the chemical elements, but the atoms are now known to be compounds of the electron, proton, and neutron.
		It is convenient, however, to continue to call hadrons elementary particles to distinguish them from their compounds (atomic nuclei, for instance); this usage is also justified by the fact that quarks are not strictly particles, because, as far as is known, they cannot be isolated.
		The term fundamental particle can be used to denote particles that are truly fundamental constituents of matter and are not compounds in any sense.

		There might also be other elementary particles not described by the Standard Model, the most prominent being the graviton, the hypothetical particle that carries the gravitational force.
		According to string theorists [Greene, Elegant Universe], each kind of fundamental particle corresponds to a different resonant vibrational pattern of a string (strings are constantly vibrating in standing wave patterns, similar to the way that quantized orbits of electrons in the Bohr model vibrate in standing wave patterns according to the de Broglie hypothesis).
		The sparticles are heavier (and more energetic) than the ordinary particles: they are so heavy that existing particle colliders would not large (and energetic) enough to be able to detect them.
