STANDARD MODEL OF PARTICLE PHYSICS EXPLAINED LondonCityGirl – Knowledge

Hi Everyone,

After uploading the epic 33 minute Big Bang theory illustrated timeline last month I'm keeping things short and sweet today by uploading a brief overview of the Standard Model of Particle Physics.

More videos to come this month so keep an eye out ;)

DESCRIPTION
The standard model is a theory of elementary particles and how they interact.

When we think of an atom we generally think of a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons surrounded by a cloud of electrons. If we look deeper into the heart of the nucleus we find that the protons and neutrons are made of more fundamental particles called quarks. Quarks, like electrons are considered to be one of the elementary particles that make up our Universe.

The standard model categorizes all the elementary particles into either matter particles otherwise known as fermions or force carrier particles otherwise known as Gauge (Gage) Bosons.

Fermions are divided into quarks and leptons.
There are six quarks, up and down, charm and strange, top and bottom.
There are six leptons, electron, muon, tau, electron neutrino, muon neutrino and tau neutrino.

Fermions create matter and the Gauge (Gage) Bosons carry the forces between the matter particles.

Gluons mediate the strong force between the quarks, holding them together within the protons and neutrons. Gluons also mediate the strong force between the protons and the neutrons holding them together within the nucleus of the atom.

Photons are particles of light which carry the electromagnetic force that holds the electrons in atoms.

W and Z bosons carry the weak nuclear force and they are involved in some forms of radioactivity and they play a role in how the stars burn.

And finally the Higgs boson is the corresponding carrier particle of the Higgs field which is a quantum field that permeates all of space. Particle Interactions with the Higgs field impart particles with their mass and the Higgs boson is the local excitation of the Higgs field.
