Since this is one of the most important discoveries . All the current theories, as Quantum Field Theory, Nuclear Physics, Particle Physics, Standard Model, etc., all they keep the fundamental principles of Quantum Mechanics. The paper reviews philosophical aspects of the Higgs mechanism as the presently preferred account of the generation of particle masses in the Standard Model of elementary particle physics and its most discussed extensions. It implies new The "Standard Model" of particle physics originally predicted that particles have zero mass, which is clearly falsified by observation. Besides a long review of Frank Close's The Infinity Puzzle, there are some short reviews, including one for Stephen Heywood's Symmetries and Conservation Laws in Particle Physics: An Introduction to Group Therapy for Particle Physics. Rather than giving you a standard introduction to the modern formulation of particle physics, I am going to take a historical approach. The Standard Model has been fantastically successful, in that it is capable of predicting how particles will behave to very high accuracy. So far, there have been no hints beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics from the LHC. It might have been just luck, an upward fluctuations of the Standard Model signal. I've always intended someday to try and write something like that, basically an explicit mathematical description of the standard model, aimed at mathematicians completely familiar with the technology of differential geometry. A recent conference in Kyoto, Japan, ruled out another broad class of supersymmetry models, and to solve the hierarchy problem makes some physicists uncomfortable. 'Lee's lectures set a towering standard of excellencethis volume will serve superbly as a comprehensive course in elementary particle physicspages are filled. This is probably one of the reasons why scientists should reexamine why SUSY was first introduced and try to come up with new models that will go beyond the Standard Model. The last possibility is very attractive. On the 4th of July, CERN announced the discovery of a new particle that can be interpreted as the Higgs boson with both the ATLAS and CMS experiments. Particle Physics and Introduction to Field Theory. Or it may be a sign of something interesting Introduce one (or more) new charged particle that contributes as much as the top quark, but with the opposite sign.
