Particle physics
Particle physics is a branch of physics that studies the fundamental constituents of matter and the interactions between them. It focuses on elementary particles and the forces governing their behavior.
Particle physics is discussed in theoretical physics, experimental physics, and high-energy physics.
Status
Particle physics is investigated through experiments using particle accelerators and detectors, as well as through theoretical modeling. The Standard Model provides a widely used framework, while open questions remain regarding mass generation, dark matter, and unification.
