Particle physics

One of the constituents of atoms. Along with the neutron, the proton can be found in the nuclei (centers) or atoms. Protons have a positive electric charge, and are composed of two up quarks and a ...

quantum chromodynamics (QCD)

Physics; Particle physics

The theory of the strong interaction. It describes the exchange of gluons between quarks.

quantum dimensions

Physics; Particle physics

As yet undiscovered dimensions of space-time that convert force particles to matter particles and vice versa. Such dimensions are predicted in theories with supersymmetry or superstrings. The pair of ...

quantum gravity

Physics; Particle physics

At very small distances, the principles of quantum mechanics are necessary to accurately describe physical phenomena. Developing a theory that incorporates both the principles of quantum mechanics ...

Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS)

Physics; Particle physics

An accelerator based at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL).

Antartic Muon And Neutrino Detector Array (AMANDA)

Physics; Particle physics

A Cherenkov detector, embedding in the ice located at the south pole, designed to look at very high energy neutrinos.

A Toroidal LHC Apparatus (ATLAS)

Physics; Particle physics

This multi-purpose experiment is currently under construction for use as a detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva Switzerland. For more information, see:
