The evolution of the universe is closely related to the properties of elementary particles and its interactions. To understand the history of our universe, we need to know the properties of elementary particles. 13 Elementary Particle Physics We have "standard model of elementary particles". It succeeds to explain most of the the experimental results (except for neutrino oscillation). It is built on the relativistic quantum mechanics with aue symmetry to introduce interactions and His mechanism to produce particle masses. It includes 6 quarks, 6 leptons 4 types of aue bosons and 1 His boson. 14

8 There are two types of elementary particles (1) Fermions: Spin=1/2 * Fermi-Dirac statistics (Pauli's exclusion principle) * Buildin block of matter. (2) Bosons: Spin=0, 1 * Bose Einstein Statistics (basic principle of the laser) * Mediate forces. Spin: Classical analoy = self-rotation Many of the cases, it is OK to imaine so. But there is limitations Spin=1 = Anular momentum of p-orbit electron of H Spin=1/2 = half of it. 15 (1) Fermion: Spin=1/2 # spin-up ψ = % 1& $ 0' ( spin-down # ψ = % 0& $ 1' ( Name Chare 1 st (eneration) 2 nd (eneration) 3 rd (eneration) Lepton -1 e μ τ 0 ν e ν µ ν τ Quark +2/3 u (up) c (charm) t (top) -1/3 d (down) s (strane) b (bottom) 16
