Company Profile:
The particles that carrry the forces of the Standard Model: electromagnetism (photons), the weak force (W and Z-bosons), and the strong force (gluons).
Industry:Physics
The generic term describing the hypothetical superpartner of any of the gauge bosons of the Standard Model.
Industry:Physics
The spin-one particle that carries the strong force.
Industry:Physics
The hypothetical superpartner of the gluon. The gluino has spin ?.
Industry:Physics
According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, the presence of matter can warp space-time. This warping of space can affect the path which light-rays follow, much in the same way that a lens does. This is known as gravitational lensing.
Industry:Physics
The as-yet unobserved spin-two particle that carries gravity.
Industry:Physics
Any particle made out of quarks and/or anti-quarks. Protons, neutrons, and anti-protons are examples of hadrons.
Industry:Physics
A machine that accelerates hadrons to high-energies in two beams, and then collides the beams head-on.
Industry:Physics
Hypothetical additional dimensions of space-time, either a classical dimension in which particles can move, or a quantum dimension that converts a force particle into a matter particle and vice versa.
Industry:Physics
Because particle physics often requires high-energy particles to probe short distances, particle physics and high-energy physics are often used interchangeably. See accelerator.
