Learn about some history as well as the development of the model of the atom in terms of smaller particles like protons, neutrons and electrons. It also discusses what the relationships are between energy and matter, which are vital for the way Fermilab accelerators and experiments work. The CDF experiment acts like a powerful microscope. Come and see what types of detectors make up the CDF detector, as well as some basics as to how they work. This area attempts to introduce some of the strange particles that appear and disappear in nature.
Physicists prefer simple explanations for various phenomena found in nature.
We'll introduce you to this idea, as well as some reasons why we think it's actually correct. This is the name given to the current theory of the particles and forces that make up and affect matter. Come and learn about how we now think the universe is put together with quarks and other particles that allow the forces of nature to influence their behavior. A modern theory that many scientists hope will help explain problems within the standard model. For additional sites and information on high energy physics, click here.
