1B23: PARTICLE PHYSICS LINKS
- Particle Physics in the UK gives
a variety of information on the UK particle physics scene - including lecture
notes from some of the later courses at UCL!
- Colour transformations on gluon exchange
- Particle Adventure: a slightly twee, but very well organized and illustrated, guide to the
standard model of particle physics, the experimental evidence for it, and
what might lie beyond it
- CERN (European particle physics
lab, Geneva)
- HERA (German particle physics lab,
Hamburg)
- Fermilab (US particle physics lab,
Chicago; also has a nice page on The Science of Particle Physics)
- Experiments in which the UCL Particle Physics team are currently involved:
- The OPAL
experiment at CERN (Geneva)
- The ZEUS
experiment at HERA (Hamburg)
- The ATLAS experiment,
which is under construction at the new CERN LHC (Large Hadron Collider) to
search for the Higgs particle
- The MINOS experiment,
which is being constructed in Illinois to look for neutrino oscillations
- The Fermilab collider detector
- The CDMS dark matter search.
- There are some good websites on the current state of superstring
theory, inluding the String Theory site and
the Superstrings
page at UCSB.
