1 Communicating the science behind particle physics a challenge taken by Netzwerk Teilchenwelt Michael Kobel KIT Seminar Karlsruhe,
2 1. Netzwerk Teilchenwelt 2. Written Materials 3. Activities 4. More Michael Kobel, TU Dresden 2
3 Communicating Particle Physics Strength and Chances Fascination of fundamental questions Fascinating notions (Big Bang, Antimatter, Dark Matter, ) Fascinating experiments Fundamental research as cultural and intellectual gain Challenges Large number of new terms Many new concepts and perceptions Many answers to never-posed questions Relation to everyday world to be established Michael Kobel, TU Dresden 3
4 Netzwerk Teilchenwelt Multi-level program for high school students, aged teachers/trainers at schools, school labs, science centers events per year 26 research labs + CERN central organization: TU Dresden Two Core actions 1. Events and activities on all levels analyzing real (even own) research data 2. Developing written materials for teaching and science communication
5 2. Material development I. Accompanying netzwerk activities II. Supporting material for facilitators and teachers Particle Profiles Background information and worksheets Freely available as Printed versions Download at Web pages for students Hosted on Largest German Physics Portal for schools: Relaunch of particle physics section 2014
6 III. To appear soon particle physics for schools, comprising > 300 pages of texts, exercises and work sheets Establishing a standardized terminology 4 sections Concept of the Standard Model Research methods Cosmic rays Stand alone topics
7 How to explain something unknown Example soccer (wikipedia) Law 1: The Field of Play Law 2: The Ball Law 3: The Number of Players i.e. you do not start with the number of players, but with the aims and rules! you do not mention each single player so why do we always start with this: when explaining the Standard Model?
8 What is the Standard Model, after all? A theoretical framework of Symmetries SU(3) C x SU(2) I x U(1) Y Based on charges Ordering particles Requiring interactions So, the SM a theory of interations, (=rules) after all And: the particles (=players) cannot even be predicted!
9 Concept: Interaction Reduction of Physics = Force + Transfomation + Production + Annihilation All processes can be described by 4 fundamental interactions Force is just one aspect of interaction Hangabtriebskraft, Wasserkraft, Gasdruck, Radiowellen, Benzinmotor Luftreibung, Radioaktiver Zerfall Brennen der Sonne 4 Fundamental Interactions Michael Kobel, TU Dresden 9
10 Tell a Story: Start with 2 best known interactions Electromagnetic (e.g. Atoms) Gravitation (O 2 by Earth) What keeps the protons (and neutrons) in the nucleus together against electric repulsion? introduce: strong interaction Michael Kobel, TU Dresden 10
11 The 4th fundamental interaction Electromagnetic Gravitation Strong interaction What transforms neutrons introduce: weak interaction and protons in one another? Michael Kobel, TU Dresden 11
12 Overview of potential energies (similarities and differences) electromagnetic Gravitation weak interaction strong interaction Michael Kobel, TU Dresden 12
13 Synopsis on different scales Electromagnetic potential is invariant under scale variations -> infinite range Weak and strong interaction have characteristic length all behave like 1/r for small enough distances Quantitative description with Charges Strength parameter α Char. Lengths λ w = 0,002 fm and (ħcα S /k) = 0,2 fm
14 Comparison of Forces F = E pot for e + e - (strong: qq) Particle physics Us Nuclear physics Michael Kobel, TU Dresden 14
15 Conclusions Ranges are different For small distances F~1/r 2 Sequence of strength Cannot be defined for forces due to F(r) Can be defined only for interactions: α! All interaction strengths similar, except *extremely* weak gravitation Interaction Gravitation electromagnetic Range infinite infinite strong weak Michael Kobel, TU Dresden 15
16 Why are forces ~ 1/r²? Classical Physics: field lines Density of field lines ~ field strength ~ force 1/r² is consequence of 3-dim space! 1/r n-1 wohl be the force law for n-dim space Michael Kobel, TU Dresden 16
17 Many Further discussion issues Unification of interactions maybe possible for gravity with large extra dimensions -> steeper decrease at tiny distances Nuclear kovalent binding is not fundamental (like molecular binding) and only possible in a very narrow range Michael Kobel, TU Dresden 17
18 Why are all the interactions so similar in their structure? There are a number of possibilities: The first is the limited imagination of physicists: When we see a new phenomenon, we try to fit it in the framework we already have until we have made enough experiments we don t know that it doesn t work It s because physicists have only been able to think of the same damn thing, over and over again. Another possibility is that it is the same damn thing over and over again that Nature has only one way of doing things, and She repeats her story from time to time. A third possibility is that things look similar because they are aspects of the same thing some larger picture underneath Richard. P. Feynman, The strange theory of light and matter Princeton University Press, 1985 Die seltsame Theorie des Lichts und der Materie Piper Taschenbuch, 9,95
19 Charges: Basis of the Standardmodel Expressed for Scientists: Charges generate local gauge symmetries of the Standard Model Particles come in multiplet representations of the gauge group Symmetries require gauge fields and interactions Charge conservation follows from Gauge Symmetry The BEH mechanism breaks the electroweak symmetry and creates masses for the weak gauge bosons For the public communication: For each interaction (except gravity) there is a corresponding charge Charges give a characteristic ordering principle for particles Interactions are mediated by messenger particles Charge conservation determines allowed processes The BEHiggs field is a infinite sea of weak charge and created finite range of weak interaction by screening its field
20 Superconductor Analogy Superconductor: Cooper-pair field, freely movable ee-pairs, screening magnetic fields Eweak vacuum: BEH field, freely moving weak charges, screening weak fields Source: beamline/26/1/26-1- dixon.pdf In a superconductor, the range of the magnetic force (photons) is tiny: λ~20 nm The photons get an effective mass of 1/ λ ~ 10 ev In the BEH-Field, the range of W-Bosons is λ~ 0.000,000,002 nm (its screening is 10,000,000,000 more effective!) and m W =1/ λ ~ 100 GeV Cooper-pair coherence length relation ξ < λ corresponds to 1/m H < 1/m W Our universe is a Type-II superconductor for weak charges 20
21 Charge -> interaction + messengers Each interaction (= force or transformation) is mediated by messengers messengers can only be emitted/absorbed, if corresonding charge is present Charges can be numbers or vectors Couplings e, g W, g S absorbed from the beginning in strength parameters α, α W,α S! Interaction Messenger particles Charge of matter particles Strong Gluons g Strong Color -Charge vector Weak Electromagnetic Weakons (W +,W -,Z) Photons γ Weak Isospin -Charge I = + 1/2 1/2 Electric Charge number q = -1, + ⅔, -⅓, Gravitation Gravitons? Probably! Mass??? No! Michael Kobel, TU Dresden 21
22 Matter Particle Multipletts Particles are ordered/characterized according to their three charges Experimentally (this is no SM prediction!) one finds doublets wrt weak interaction tripletts wrt strong interaction singuletts wrt electromagnetic interaction Transformations are only allowed within same multiplet (for charge eigenstates, mixing into mass eigenstates omitted) Michael Kobel, TU Dresden 22
23 Gauge bosons transform within multiplet A rotation (gauge symmetry!) of a quark multiplet has same effect as emission or absorption of a gluon Michael Kobel, TU Dresden 23
24 Ordering scheme: Analogy to periodic system Same Charges <-> same features (e.g. lepton universality) Which slots are filled by particles in nature cannot be predicted in SM! Pattern repeats 2x for larger masses (reason unknown!) Michael Kobel, TU Dresden 24
25 The SM just gives the ordering cupboard! Filling of the possible drawers cannot be predicted C C Other matter particle multiplets would have been possible! particle e -- e - e 0 e + e ++ I but are not observed nature picks fundamental representation
26 Adding Charges (Example Proton) Electric charge number Weak charge number Strong color charge vector Michael Kobel, TU Dresden 26
27 Charge conservation (e.g. weak charge I:=I 3W ) Neglecting P-Violation, since only left-chiral components matter: K-electron capture in atoms p +½ -½ +½ -½ W + -½ +½ -½ +½ e - First detection of (anti-)neutrinos at nuclear power plants +½ p n -½ +½ p n -½ W + -½ +½ -½ +½ β + und β - transformations of nuclei n ν e ν e e + +½ p n -½ -½ n p +½ W + e + ν e +½ -½ e - +½ -½ Conservation of weak charge requires presence of neutrinos (Lepton number concept not needed, charge conservation does it) p e - W - W - n ν e ν e e + W - ν e
28 Spiral curriculum concept for textbook Michael Kobel, TU Dresden 28
29 Example: Feynman diagrams in spiral curriculum Compton-Scattering 1st level: x-y diagram, visualisation in space (as in detector) 2nd level: classical x-t diagram charge conservation in initial and final state 3rd level: Feynman diagram Charge conservation at each time Fundamental vertices Quantum mechanical behaviour Michael Kobel, TU Dresden 29
30 Summary New Teaching Material Lots of Dos and Dont s Conyev the real SM findings Establishing a standardized terminology Charges as powerful new principles Global view of interactions Spiral curriculum Finalized last year, in layout, will be printed and distributed to teachers Training for teachers planned
