PH450 Course Contents
4
The ultimate and practical goal of this undergraduate course of particle physics is to convince the audience that particle physics is full of intellectually fun and profound subjects.
I wish to cover the following:
• Overall review of modern particle physics • Relativistic kinematics • Symmetries in particle physics • Basics on QED, QCD and Weak Interactions (Standard Model)• Recent innovations in particle physics• Higgs, neutrinos, proton decay, dark matter and dark energy • Future prospects
This is quite challenging goal to achieve in a single semester. Therefore, the subjects will vary depending on the level and interest of the audience. If schedule permits, you will have a chance to tour the Center for Axions and Precision Physics (CAPP) laboratory at the KAIST Munji Campus, one of the world best axion search center on the planet.

The Origin of Everything
9KAIST-PH450-Yoo-2017-Note01: Introduction
10
Profound Questions
• Why do we exist? • Where are we from? • Where are we going?• What’s the beginning?• What’s the ending?
Eventually all of you will dissociate into the elementary particles as you are associated with them. The lump of elementary particles that are called as “you” won’t be in the same lump, and won’t be called “you” any more. However, once in a lifetime, you may probably be bothered about the above questions.
I can guarantee you that there is no final answer to them. We only deal with collection of thoughts and experiments which is called particle physics.
KAIST-PH450-Yoo-2017-Note01: Introduction
11
Everything Around You
• Everything around you is made out of electrons, protons, & neutrons Too simple? Are these elementary particles?Are there more? How these particles form everything around you? How you define things?
• You see photons Photons are the force carrier of electric charge.Can your eye see a single photon? If you close your eyes in a dark room, do you see nothing? What is seeing means? What’s the difference between you seeing something and you imagining something?
KAIST-PH450-Yoo-2017-Note01: Introduction
12
Everything Around You
• There are particles which fill the entire Universe but you never feel: neutrinos
• Anything else?You may heard about the following particles:
positrons, muons, tauons, W, Z, gravitons, higgs, pions, kaons, omegas, B-mesons, lambdas, all sort of names ….
How do you know they are existing? What about quarks and gluons?What’s the composition of cosmic rays? Where are they coming from?What about dark matter and dark energy?

Prologue: Atom (1910s)
Bohr’s model of atom was innovative. It connects the electrons’ orbits to the Planck’s quantum theory of radiation. Energy of electrons inside an atom is not continuous but quantized. The model successfully explained the observed Hydrogen emission (absorption) spectrum. Coulomb const.

Prologue: Atom
Modern view of atom does not describe the path of electrons in an atom. The atomic orbital does not stands for actual orbit of electrons, but instead refers to the mathematical wave function which used to estimate probabilities of finding electrons in an atom around the nucleus. We can only give probabilities for finding an electron at some set of coordinates.

Coulomb Fine structure Lamb shift Hyperfine structure
26
Prologue: Hydrogen Fine Structure
The electron has spin, and the interaction of spin and orbital angular momentum causes a correction to the energy level. This fine structure in the hydrogen spectrum can be explained after giving relativistic corrections to the electron.
There are shifts in energy levels due to the interaction between vacuum energy fluctuations and electrons in different orbitals which is called Lamb shift. This requires quantum field theory.
The interaction between electron spin and the proton magnetic moment causes further tiny splitting to the energy levels. This is called the hyperfine structure.

Schrödinger Equation needed to be made Lorentz invariant if it was to be correct.Modifying the Klein-Gordon equation:
In order the equation to reduce to the Klein-Gordon equation, the coefficients αi and β must satisfy

Prologue: Negative Energy Particle (?)
KAIST-PH450-Yoo-2017-Note01: Introduction
We will learn more details on the Dirac equation with EM-field and potential.
Dirac believed in the physical existence of these negative energy states. Most of the other theorists of the time regarded these solutions a flaw in the equation. Dirac postulated the particles of the negative energy solutions are the anti-particles.
It is not surprising that the Dirac equation wasn't universally accepted right away. The theory has an excellent target that immediately falsifiable (the anti-particle)

Prologue: AntiMatter
KAIST-PH450-Yoo-2017-Note01: Introduction
Antimatter is a material composed of the antiparticle to the corresponding particles of ordinary matter. A particle and its antiparticle have the same mass as one another, but opposite electric charge and other quantum numbers.
X X_
A collision of a particle and its antiparticle leads to mutual annihilation. → produce photons, neutrinos, and less-massive particle-antiparticle pairs
Antimatter particles can be defined by their negative baryon number or lepton number, matter particles have positive baryon or lepton number.

Prologue: Neutron
Beryllium bombarded by alpha particles, emitted a very energetic stream of radiation. These rays were extremely penetrating and neutral in charge. When a beam of this radiation hit paraffin, protons were knocked out (1930).
In 1932, Chadwick proposed that these particles were neutrons, which was proposed by Rutherford in 1920. Chadwick was able to determine that the particle mass of the neutral radiation was almost the same as that of a proton.
KAIST-PH450-Yoo-2017-Note01: Introduction
37
Prologue: Neutron Decay
The free neutrons are unstable. It decayed into proton and electron. However the broad spectrum of electron energies was not understood. Understanding the kinematics of beta-decays was a big issue back then.

mn=939.57 MeVmp=938.27 MeVme=0.51 MeV
decay energy = 0.78 MeV τ(mean)=881.5 s
If neutron decays into two bodies, why is the energy spectrum of electrons from the neutron decay is continuous (not monochromatic)?
KAIST-PH450-Yoo-2017-Note01: Introduction
38
Prologue: Neutron Decay
Wolfgang Pauli proposed in 1930 the existence of an invisible particle that would carry off the energy and momentum. The invisible massless particle is later called the neutrino.
Cowan and Reines discovered the neutrinos while working with discharging radiation from the Savannah River Nuclear Power Plant (1955).
We will revisit the beta-decay when we discuss about Weak Interactions
• The neutrino share the energy and momentum of the three-body decay• Neutrino interaction with normal matter is extremely rare: σ ~ 10-40 cm2
Hence, they could not be detected until the detector technology developed further
KAIST-PH450-Yoo-2017-Note01: Introduction
39
Prologue: Binding Energy of Nucleus
For example, deuteron (the nucleus of deuterium):How does the proton and the neutron stick together?a proton (mp=939.57 MeV) + a neutron (mn=938.27 MeV)
Mass of deuteron: 1875.6 MeV (note, mp + mn =1877.8 MeV)The energy to take apart the deuteron to p and n: ΔE = (mp+mn)-md = 2.2 MeV (binding energy)
The binding force between nucleons is called the nuclear force (which is a residual effect of the strong force). The nuclear force is independent from the charge of the nucleons (protons or neutrons).
The electric force between nuclei cannot hold the nucleons of a nuclei together.

Prologue: Yukawa’s Solution on Nuclear Force
On the Interaction of Elemen2 fury Particles. I.
By Hideki YUKAWA.
(Read Nov. 17, 1934)
§1.Introduction
At the present stage of the quantum theory little is known about the nature of interaction of elementary particles. Heisenberg considered the interaction of " Platzwechsel " between the neutron and the proton to be of importance to the nuclear structure.(1)
Recently Fermi treated the problem of β-disintegration on the
hypothesis of "neutrino "(2). According to this theory, the neutron and the proton can interact by emitting and absorbing a pair of neutrino and electron. . Unfortunately the interaction energy calculated on such assumption is much too small to account for the binding energies of neutrons and protons in the nucleus.(3)
To remove this defect, it seems natural to modify the theory of Heisenberg and Fermi in the following way. The transition of a heavy particle from neutron state to proton state is not always accom-panied by the emission of light particles, i. e., a neutrino and an electron, but the energy liberated by the transition is taken up sometimes by another heavy particle, which in turn will be transformed from proton state into neutron state. If the probability of occurrence of the latter process is much larger than that of the former, the interaction between the neutron and the proton will be much larger than in the case of Fermi, whereas the probability of emission of light particles is not af-fected essentially. Now such interaction between the elementary particles can be des-cribed by means of a field of force, just as the interaction between the charged particles is described by the electromagnetic field. The above considerations show that the interaction of heavy particles with this field is much larger than that of light particles with it.

Fermions: Leptons and Quarks
56KAIST-PH450-Yoo-2017-Note01: Introduction
• The particles interact with each other through the four fundamental forces - Strong force, electromagnetism, weak force, and gravity
• The four fundamental forces are mediated by the force carriers - Gluons, photon, W/Z, and graviton
• Electrons, muons, tauons, and all quarks are electrically charged. These particles participate electromagnetic interaction of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED)
• Neutrinos are electrically neutral, and thus only experiences Weak force.
• Only the quarks carry color charges (r,g,b) of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) - the theory of the strong force. Quarks are never observed as free particles, but are always found as confined states (hadrons: baryons and mesons).
Fermions: Leptons and Quarks
57KAIST-PH450-Yoo-2017-Note01: Introduction

Quark Model was proposed by Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig in 1963. Three quark types (flavors) were originally proposed to account for the then-known mesons and baryons: up (u), down (d), and strange (s) — (Composite Quark Model)
• Baryons are composed of three quarks, and antibaryons are composed of three antiquarks.
• Mesons are combinations of a quark and an antiquark.

Evolution of our understanding of nucleon spin structure. A nucleon's spin was explained by the alignment of the spins of its constituent quarks. In modern picture, valence quarks, sea quarks and gluons, and their possible orbital motion are expected to contribute to overall nucleon spin. (Eur.Phys.J. A52 (2016) no.9, 268)
