Evolution of Elementary Particle Physics in the 20th Century
نویسنده
چکیده
The history of physics from the middle of the 19th century until 2000 is presented. The dominant drive for the development is related to the creation of Quantum Mechanics in the first half of the 20th century. New concepts like the particle-wave duality and the definition of an elementary particle are discussed. The explosion of the number of particles, due to new accelerators, led to the theory of particles as we know it today. Future possible developments are indicated.

متن کاملThe Future of Particle Physics
After a very brief review of twentieth century elementary particle physics, prospects for the next century are discussed. First and most important are technological limits of opportunities; next, the future experimental program, and finally the status of the theory, in particular its limitations as well as its opportunities. Invited talk given at the International Conference on Fundamental Scie...

Algebraic hyperstructures theory is a natural extension of the classical algebraic structures. Because of importance and new viewpoints in this theory, we try to apply this theory to the elementary particle physics and nuclear physics presenting the definitions and the concepts of the algebraic hyperstructures. In this work we intend to use this new branch of mathematics to describe the inte...
متن کاملThe Standard Model in 2001 Jonathan
The “Standard Model” of elementary particle physics encompasses the progress that has been made in the past half-century in understanding the weak, electromagnetic, and strong interactions. The name was apparently bestowed by my Ph. D. thesis advisor, Sam B. Treiman, whose dedication to particle physics kindled the light for so many of his students during those times of experimental and theoret...
