Standard ModelThe physicists equivalent to the periodic table.
Unifies QCD with EW interactions into a single structure.
It does not include gravity.
It is a quantum field theory that is consistent with quantum mechanics and special relativity.

What is the Higgs Particle?
So, how do particle acquire mass?
Through their interaction with the Higgs field.

How is the Higgs formed?
• The fusion of one quark from each proton.
• Coming together at high energy.
A simulated event in the Atlas detector
![Page 21: The Energy in our Universe Dr. Darrel Smith Department of Physics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ec75503460f94bd2c58/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How is the Higgs formed?
•The fusion of one gluon from each proton.•Coming together at high energy.

Why such a big machine?
We need high energies to make massive particles.
E = mc2
![Page 23: The Energy in our Universe Dr. Darrel Smith Department of Physics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ec75503460f94bd2c58/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Why such small distances?
We need to put that energy in a small volume to make a high energy density.
l = h/p

Mass vs. Size
Mass is not proptional to size.
Masses of the W and Z particles
MW = 82 GeV/c2
Mz = 90 GeV/c2
Mproton = 0.928 GeV/c2

Where’s the “missing mass” ?
Could it be neutrinos?
Could it be black holes?
![Page 27: The Energy in our Universe Dr. Darrel Smith Department of Physics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ec75503460f94bd2c58/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Dark EnergyDifferent from “dark matter”
It causes the universe to expand (i.e., to accelerate outward.
How is this observed?

![Page 28: The Energy in our Universe Dr. Darrel Smith Department of Physics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ec75503460f94bd2c58/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Dark EnergyChanges in the rate of expansion
The more shallow the curve, the faster the rate of expansion.

Dark EnergyMost of the energy in the universe today is “dark energy.”
Next, comes “dark matter.”
Only 4% of the universe is made of “regular matter.”Neutrons, Protons, electrons, photons, & neutrinos.
