夸克英语作文In the realm of particle physics, quarks are the fundamental building blocks of matter, akin to the alphabet letters that make up the diverse lexicon of our universe. These elementary particles are bound together by the strong force, one of the four fundamental forces of nature, and they are never found in isolation. The study of quarks and their interactions is not just a scientific endeavor; it's a journey into the very fabric of existence.Quarks come in six different "flavors": up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom. Each flavor has its own unique properties, such as mass and electric charge. The lighter quarks, up and down, are the most common and form the protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus. The heavier quarks, on the other hand, are less stable and quickly decay intolighter ones.The discovery of quarks was a monumental leap in our understanding of the universe. It was in the 1960s when physicist Murray Gell-Mann proposed the quark model, which was later confirmed by deep inelastic scattering experiments. This model revolutionized the field of particle physics and earned Gell-Mann the Nobel Prize in Physics.Quarks are held together by gluons, which are the mediator particles of the strong force. This force is so powerful that it overcomes the quarks' natural tendency todisperse. The strong force is also responsible for the phenomenon of color charge, a quantum property that quarks possess. Each quark can exist in one of three color states, and the force only allows quarks to combine in such a waythat they form a color-neutral state, like the protons and neutrons in an atom.The study of quarks has led to the development of the Standard Model of particle physics, which describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. Despite its successes, the Standard Model is not without its limitations. It does not, for example, account for gravity or the nature of dark matter, which is believed to make up a significant portion of the universe's mass.As scientists continue to probe the depths of the subatomic world, quarks remain at the forefront of research. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and other particle accelerators are instrumental in these investigations, providing a window into the high-energy interactions of quarks and the potential for discovering new particles or forces.In conclusion, quarks are not just esoteric particles of interest to physicists; they are the cornerstone of the matter that makes up everything we see and touch. The quest to understand their nature and the forces that govern them is a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge. As we continue to unravel the mysteries of quarks, we gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate and awe-inspiring design of the universe.。

DØ’sfirst top mass analysis with b-tagging uses events with at least one tag,which applied to a data set of230pb−1leads to the most precise preliminary Run II top mass result presented so far.Figure1shows thefitted mass for the lowest-χ2solution for the b-tagged DØTemplateanalysis,compared to the Monte Carlo prediction.An overview of the current preliminary results is shown in Table1.3Prospects for the Top mass measurementIn all results reported here the dominant component of the systematic uncertainty is the uncer-tainties related to the jet energy scale.In the last year a lot of work has been done to improve the calibration of the reconstructed jet energies.CDF reports an improvement of a factor two or more in jet energy scale uncertainties compared to a year ago.Similar improvements are expected in DØ.This will have a direct effect on the systematic uncertainties quoted.Further improvements in understanding the Jet Energy Scale can come from performing an in-situ calibration of the light-jet energy scale using the jets from the hadronic decay of the W in the same t¯t events used to measure the top mass,and from studies in progress aimed at determining the b-jet energy scale from data.Other systematics that are being studied are the modeling of initial state andfinal state gluon radiation in the t¯t Monte Carlo.Very soon both experiments hope to present preliminary results with updated jet energy scale and an integrated luminosity of more than300pb−1.All together the prospects are very good for having new top mass results this year with a precision comparable to or better than the current world average for each of the Tevatron experiments.This will open the door to an exciting new area of top physics to be further explored in the coming years at the Tevatron.References1.DØCollaboration,Nature429(2004)p638.2.C.Hays,these proceedings,hep-ex/0505064.3.J.Nielsen,these proceedings,hep-ex/0505051.4.CDF Collaboration,/physics/new/top/top.html5.DØCollaboration,/Run2Physics/WWW/results/top.htm。

More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines, perhaps the oldest through its inclusion of astronomy. Over the last two millennia, physics was a part of natural philosophy along with chemistry, certain branches of mathematics, and biology, but during the Scientific Revolution in the 17th century, the natural sciences emerged as unique research programs in their own right. Physics intersects with many interdisciplinary areas of research, such as biophysics and quantum chemistry,and the boundaries of physics are not rigidly defined. New ideas in physics often explain the fundamental mechanisms of other sciences, while opening new avenues of research in areas such as mathematics and philosophy.Physics also makes significant contributions through advances in new technologies that arise from theoretical breakthroughs. For example, advances in the understanding of electromagnetism or nuclear physics led directly to the development of new products which have dramatically transformed modern-day society, such as television, computers, domestic appliances, and nuclear weapons; advances in thermodynamics led to the development of industrialization; and advances in mechanics inspired the development of calculus.Core theoriesThough physics deals with a wide variety of systems, certain theories are used by all physicists. Each of these theories were experimentally tested numerous times and found correct as an approximation of nature (within a certain domain of validity).For instance, the theory of classical mechanics accurately describes the motion of objects, provided they are much larger than atoms and moving at much less than the speed of light. These theories continue to be areas of active research, and a remarkable aspect of classical mechanics known as chaos was discovered in the 20th century, three centuries after the original formulation of classical mechanics by Isaac Newton (1642–1727) 【艾萨克·牛顿】.University PhysicsThese central theories are important tools for research into more specialized topics, and any physicist, regardless of his or her specialization, is expected to be literate in them. These include classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, electromagnetism, and special relativity.Classical and modern physicsClassical mechanicsClassical physics includes the traditional branches and topics that were recognized and well-developed before the beginning of the 20th century—classical mechanics, acoustics, optics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism.Classical mechanics is concerned with bodies acted on by forces and bodies in motion and may be divided into statics (study of the forces on a body or bodies at rest), kinematics (study of motion without regard to its causes), and dynamics (study of motion and the forces that affect it); mechanics may also be divided into solid mechanics and fluid mechanics (known together as continuum mechanics), the latter including such branches as hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, and pneumatics.Acoustics is the study of how sound is produced, controlled, transmitted and received. Important modern branches of acoustics include ultrasonics, the study of sound waves of very high frequency beyond the range of human hearing; bioacoustics the physics of animal calls and hearing, and electroacoustics, the manipulation of audible sound waves using electronics.Optics, the study of light, is concerned not only with visible light but also with infrared and ultraviolet radiation, which exhibit all of the phenomena of visible light except visibility, e.g., reflection, refraction, interference, diffraction, dispersion, and polarization of light.Heat is a form of energy, the internal energy possessed by the particles of which a substance is composed; thermodynamics deals with the relationships between heat and other forms of energy.Electricity and magnetism have been studied as a single branch of physics since the intimate connection between them was discovered in the early 19th century; an electric current gives rise to a magnetic field and a changing magnetic field induces an electric current. Electrostatics deals with electric charges at rest, electrodynamics with moving charges, and magnetostatics with magnetic poles at rest.Modern PhysicsClassical physics is generally concerned with matter and energy on the normal scale of1 Physics 物理学observation, while much of modern physics is concerned with the behavior of matter and energy under extreme conditions or on the very large or very small scale.For example, atomic and nuclear physics studies matter on the smallest scale at which chemical elements can be identified.The physics of elementary particles is on an even smaller scale, as it is concerned with the most basic units of matter; this branch of physics is also known as high-energy physics because of the extremely high energies necessary to produce many types of particles in large particle accelerators. On this scale, ordinary, commonsense notions of space, time, matter, and energy are no longer valid.The two chief theories of modern physics present a different picture of the concepts of space, time, and matter from that presented by classical physics.Quantum theory is concerned with the discrete, rather than continuous, nature of many phenomena at the atomic and subatomic level, and with the complementary aspects of particles and waves in the description of such phenomena.The theory of relativity is concerned with the description of phenomena that take place in a frame of reference that is in motion with respect to an observer; the special theory of relativity is concerned with relative uniform motion in a straight line and the general theory of relativity with accelerated motion and its connection with gravitation.Both quantum theory and the theory of relativity find applications in all areas of modern physics.Difference between classical and modern physicsWhile physics aims to discover universal laws, its theories lie in explicit domains of applicability. Loosely speaking, the laws of classical physics accurately describe systems whose important length scales are greater than the atomic scale and whose motions are much slower than the speed of light. Outside of this domain, observations do not match their predictions.Albert Einstein【阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦】contributed the framework of special relativity, which replaced notions of absolute time and space with space-time and allowed an accurate description of systems whose components have speeds approaching the speed of light.Max Planck【普朗克】, Erwin Schrödinger【薛定谔】, and others introduced quantum mechanics, a probabilistic notion of particles and interactions that allowed an accurate description of atomic and subatomic scales.Later, quantum field theory unified quantum mechanics and special relativity.General relativity allowed for a dynamical, curved space-time, with which highly massiveUniversity Physicssystems and the large-scale structure of the universe can be well-described. General relativity has not yet been unified with the other fundamental descriptions; several candidate theories of quantum gravity are being developed.Research fieldsContemporary research in physics can be broadly divided into condensed matter physics; atomic, molecular, and optical physics; particle physics; astrophysics; geophysics and biophysics. Some physics departments also support research in Physics education.Since the 20th century, the individual fields of physics have become increasingly specialized, and today most physicists work in a single field for their entire careers. "Universalists" such as Albert Einstein (1879–1955) and Lev Landau (1908–1968)【列夫·朗道】, who worked in multiple fields of physics, are now very rare.Condensed matter physicsCondensed matter physics is the field of physics that deals with the macroscopic physical properties of matter. In particular, it is concerned with the "condensed" phases that appear whenever the number of particles in a system is extremely large and the interactions between them are strong.The most familiar examples of condensed phases are solids and liquids, which arise from the bonding by way of the electromagnetic force between atoms. More exotic condensed phases include the super-fluid and the Bose–Einstein condensate found in certain atomic systems at very low temperature, the superconducting phase exhibited by conduction electrons in certain materials,and the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases of spins on atomic lattices.Condensed matter physics is by far the largest field of contemporary physics.Historically, condensed matter physics grew out of solid-state physics, which is now considered one of its main subfields. The term condensed matter physics was apparently coined by Philip Anderson when he renamed his research group—previously solid-state theory—in 1967. In 1978, the Division of Solid State Physics of the American Physical Society was renamed as the Division of Condensed Matter Physics.Condensed matter physics has a large overlap with chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology and engineering.Atomic, molecular and optical physicsAtomic, molecular, and optical physics (AMO) is the study of matter–matter and light–matter interactions on the scale of single atoms and molecules.1 Physics 物理学The three areas are grouped together because of their interrelationships, the similarity of methods used, and the commonality of the energy scales that are relevant. All three areas include both classical, semi-classical and quantum treatments; they can treat their subject from a microscopic view (in contrast to a macroscopic view).Atomic physics studies the electron shells of atoms. Current research focuses on activities in quantum control, cooling and trapping of atoms and ions, low-temperature collision dynamics and the effects of electron correlation on structure and dynamics. Atomic physics is influenced by the nucleus (see, e.g., hyperfine splitting), but intra-nuclear phenomena such as fission and fusion are considered part of high-energy physics.Molecular physics focuses on multi-atomic structures and their internal and external interactions with matter and light.Optical physics is distinct from optics in that it tends to focus not on the control of classical light fields by macroscopic objects, but on the fundamental properties of optical fields and their interactions with matter in the microscopic realm.High-energy physics (particle physics) and nuclear physicsParticle physics is the study of the elementary constituents of matter and energy, and the interactions between them.In addition, particle physicists design and develop the high energy accelerators,detectors, and computer programs necessary for this research. The field is also called "high-energy physics" because many elementary particles do not occur naturally, but are created only during high-energy collisions of other particles.Currently, the interactions of elementary particles and fields are described by the Standard Model.●The model accounts for the 12 known particles of matter (quarks and leptons) thatinteract via the strong, weak, and electromagnetic fundamental forces.●Dynamics are described in terms of matter particles exchanging gauge bosons (gluons,W and Z bosons, and photons, respectively).●The Standard Model also predicts a particle known as the Higgs boson. In July 2012CERN, the European laboratory for particle physics, announced the detection of a particle consistent with the Higgs boson.Nuclear Physics is the field of physics that studies the constituents and interactions of atomic nuclei. The most commonly known applications of nuclear physics are nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons technology, but the research has provided application in many fields, including those in nuclear medicine and magnetic resonance imaging, ion implantation in materials engineering, and radiocarbon dating in geology and archaeology.University PhysicsAstrophysics and Physical CosmologyAstrophysics and astronomy are the application of the theories and methods of physics to the study of stellar structure, stellar evolution, the origin of the solar system, and related problems of cosmology. Because astrophysics is a broad subject, astrophysicists typically apply many disciplines of physics, including mechanics, electromagnetism, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, relativity, nuclear and particle physics, and atomic and molecular physics.The discovery by Karl Jansky in 1931 that radio signals were emitted by celestial bodies initiated the science of radio astronomy. Most recently, the frontiers of astronomy have been expanded by space exploration. Perturbations and interference from the earth's atmosphere make space-based observations necessary for infrared, ultraviolet, gamma-ray, and X-ray astronomy.Physical cosmology is the study of the formation and evolution of the universe on its largest scales. Albert Einstein's theory of relativity plays a central role in all modern cosmological theories. In the early 20th century, Hubble's discovery that the universe was expanding, as shown by the Hubble diagram, prompted rival explanations known as the steady state universe and the Big Bang.The Big Bang was confirmed by the success of Big Bang nucleo-synthesis and the discovery of the cosmic microwave background in 1964. The Big Bang model rests on two theoretical pillars: Albert Einstein's general relativity and the cosmological principle (On a sufficiently large scale, the properties of the Universe are the same for all observers). Cosmologists have recently established the ΛCDM model (the standard model of Big Bang cosmology) of the evolution of the universe, which includes cosmic inflation, dark energy and dark matter.Current research frontiersIn condensed matter physics, an important unsolved theoretical problem is that of high-temperature superconductivity. Many condensed matter experiments are aiming to fabricate workable spintronics and quantum computers.In particle physics, the first pieces of experimental evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model have begun to appear. Foremost among these are indications that neutrinos have non-zero mass. These experimental results appear to have solved the long-standing solar neutrino problem, and the physics of massive neutrinos remains an area of active theoretical and experimental research. Particle accelerators have begun probing energy scales in the TeV range, in which experimentalists are hoping to find evidence for the super-symmetric particles, after discovery of the Higgs boson.Theoretical attempts to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity into a single theory1 Physics 物理学of quantum gravity, a program ongoing for over half a century, have not yet been decisively resolved. The current leading candidates are M-theory, superstring theory and loop quantum gravity.Many astronomical and cosmological phenomena have yet to be satisfactorily explained, including the existence of ultra-high energy cosmic rays, the baryon asymmetry, the acceleration of the universe and the anomalous rotation rates of galaxies.Although much progress has been made in high-energy, quantum, and astronomical physics, many everyday phenomena involving complexity, chaos, or turbulence are still poorly understood. Complex problems that seem like they could be solved by a clever application of dynamics and mechanics remain unsolved; examples include the formation of sand-piles, nodes in trickling water, the shape of water droplets, mechanisms of surface tension catastrophes, and self-sorting in shaken heterogeneous collections.These complex phenomena have received growing attention since the 1970s for several reasons, including the availability of modern mathematical methods and computers, which enabled complex systems to be modeled in new ways. Complex physics has become part of increasingly interdisciplinary research, as exemplified by the study of turbulence in aerodynamics and the observation of pattern formation in biological systems.Vocabulary★natural science 自然科学academic disciplines 学科astronomy 天文学in their own right 凭他们本身的实力intersects相交,交叉interdisciplinary交叉学科的,跨学科的★quantum 量子的theoretical breakthroughs 理论突破★electromagnetism 电磁学dramatically显著地★thermodynamics热力学★calculus微积分validity★classical mechanics 经典力学chaos 混沌literate 学者★quantum mechanics量子力学★thermodynamics and statistical mechanics热力学与统计物理★special relativity狭义相对论is concerned with 关注,讨论,考虑acoustics 声学★optics 光学statics静力学at rest 静息kinematics运动学★dynamics动力学ultrasonics超声学manipulation 操作,处理,使用University Physicsinfrared红外ultraviolet紫外radiation辐射reflection 反射refraction 折射★interference 干涉★diffraction 衍射dispersion散射★polarization 极化,偏振internal energy 内能Electricity电性Magnetism 磁性intimate 亲密的induces 诱导,感应scale尺度★elementary particles基本粒子★high-energy physics 高能物理particle accelerators 粒子加速器valid 有效的,正当的★discrete离散的continuous 连续的complementary 互补的★frame of reference 参照系★the special theory of relativity 狭义相对论★general theory of relativity 广义相对论gravitation 重力,万有引力explicit 详细的,清楚的★quantum field theory 量子场论★condensed matter physics凝聚态物理astrophysics天体物理geophysics地球物理Universalist博学多才者★Macroscopic宏观Exotic奇异的★Superconducting 超导Ferromagnetic铁磁质Antiferromagnetic 反铁磁质★Spin自旋Lattice 晶格,点阵,网格★Society社会,学会★microscopic微观的hyperfine splitting超精细分裂fission分裂,裂变fusion熔合,聚变constituents成分,组分accelerators加速器detectors 检测器★quarks夸克lepton 轻子gauge bosons规范玻色子gluons胶子★Higgs boson希格斯玻色子CERN欧洲核子研究中心★Magnetic Resonance Imaging磁共振成像,核磁共振ion implantation 离子注入radiocarbon dating放射性碳年代测定法geology地质学archaeology考古学stellar 恒星cosmology宇宙论celestial bodies 天体Hubble diagram 哈勃图Rival竞争的★Big Bang大爆炸nucleo-synthesis核聚合,核合成pillar支柱cosmological principle宇宙学原理ΛCDM modelΛ-冷暗物质模型cosmic inflation宇宙膨胀1 Physics 物理学fabricate制造,建造spintronics自旋电子元件,自旋电子学★neutrinos 中微子superstring 超弦baryon重子turbulence湍流,扰动,骚动catastrophes突变,灾变,灾难heterogeneous collections异质性集合pattern formation模式形成University Physics2 Classical mechanics 经典力学IntroductionIn physics, classical mechanics is one of the two major sub-fields of mechanics, which is concerned with the set of physical laws describing the motion of bodies under the action of a system of forces. The study of the motion of bodies is an ancient one, making classical mechanics one of the oldest and largest subjects in science, engineering and technology.Classical mechanics describes the motion of macroscopic objects, from projectiles to parts of machinery, as well as astronomical objects, such as spacecraft, planets, stars, and galaxies. Besides this, many specializations within the subject deal with gases, liquids, solids, and other specific sub-topics.Classical mechanics provides extremely accurate results as long as the domain of study is restricted to large objects and the speeds involved do not approach the speed of light. When the objects being dealt with become sufficiently small, it becomes necessary to introduce the other major sub-field of mechanics, quantum mechanics, which reconciles the macroscopic laws of physics with the atomic nature of matter and handles the wave–particle duality of atoms and molecules. In the case of high velocity objects approaching the speed of light, classical mechanics is enhanced by special relativity. General relativity unifies special relativity with Newton's law of universal gravitation, allowing physicists to handle gravitation at a deeper level.The initial stage in the development of classical mechanics is often referred to as Newtonian mechanics, and is associated with the physical concepts employed by and the mathematical methods invented by Newton himself, in parallel with Leibniz【莱布尼兹】, and others.Later, more abstract and general methods were developed, leading to reformulations of classical mechanics known as Lagrangian mechanics and Hamiltonian mechanics. These advances were largely made in the 18th and 19th centuries, and they extend substantially beyond Newton's work, particularly through their use of analytical mechanics. Ultimately, the mathematics developed for these were central to the creation of quantum mechanics.Description of classical mechanicsThe following introduces the basic concepts of classical mechanics. For simplicity, it often2 Classical mechanics 经典力学models real-world objects as point particles, objects with negligible size. The motion of a point particle is characterized by a small number of parameters: its position, mass, and the forces applied to it.In reality, the kind of objects that classical mechanics can describe always have a non-zero size. (The physics of very small particles, such as the electron, is more accurately described by quantum mechanics). Objects with non-zero size have more complicated behavior than hypothetical point particles, because of the additional degrees of freedom—for example, a baseball can spin while it is moving. However, the results for point particles can be used to study such objects by treating them as composite objects, made up of a large number of interacting point particles. The center of mass of a composite object behaves like a point particle.Classical mechanics uses common-sense notions of how matter and forces exist and interact. It assumes that matter and energy have definite, knowable attributes such as where an object is in space and its speed. It also assumes that objects may be directly influenced only by their immediate surroundings, known as the principle of locality.In quantum mechanics objects may have unknowable position or velocity, or instantaneously interact with other objects at a distance.Position and its derivativesThe position of a point particle is defined with respect to an arbitrary fixed reference point, O, in space, usually accompanied by a coordinate system, with the reference point located at the origin of the coordinate system. It is defined as the vector r from O to the particle.In general, the point particle need not be stationary relative to O, so r is a function of t, the time elapsed since an arbitrary initial time.In pre-Einstein relativity (known as Galilean relativity), time is considered an absolute, i.e., the time interval between any given pair of events is the same for all observers. In addition to relying on absolute time, classical mechanics assumes Euclidean geometry for the structure of space.Velocity and speedThe velocity, or the rate of change of position with time, is defined as the derivative of the position with respect to time. In classical mechanics, velocities are directly additive and subtractive as vector quantities; they must be dealt with using vector analysis.When both objects are moving in the same direction, the difference can be given in terms of speed only by ignoring direction.University PhysicsAccelerationThe acceleration , or rate of change of velocity, is the derivative of the velocity with respect to time (the second derivative of the position with respect to time).Acceleration can arise from a change with time of the magnitude of the velocity or of the direction of the velocity or both . If only the magnitude v of the velocity decreases, this is sometimes referred to as deceleration , but generally any change in the velocity with time, including deceleration, is simply referred to as acceleration.Inertial frames of referenceWhile the position and velocity and acceleration of a particle can be referred to any observer in any state of motion, classical mechanics assumes the existence of a special family of reference frames in terms of which the mechanical laws of nature take a comparatively simple form. These special reference frames are called inertial frames .An inertial frame is such that when an object without any force interactions (an idealized situation) is viewed from it, it appears either to be at rest or in a state of uniform motion in a straight line. This is the fundamental definition of an inertial frame. They are characterized by the requirement that all forces entering the observer's physical laws originate in identifiable sources (charges, gravitational bodies, and so forth).A non-inertial reference frame is one accelerating with respect to an inertial one, and in such a non-inertial frame a particle is subject to acceleration by fictitious forces that enter the equations of motion solely as a result of its accelerated motion, and do not originate in identifiable sources. These fictitious forces are in addition to the real forces recognized in an inertial frame.A key concept of inertial frames is the method for identifying them. For practical purposes, reference frames that are un-accelerated with respect to the distant stars are regarded as good approximations to inertial frames.Forces; Newton's second lawNewton was the first to mathematically express the relationship between force and momentum . Some physicists interpret Newton's second law of motion as a definition of force and mass, while others consider it a fundamental postulate, a law of nature. Either interpretation has the same mathematical consequences, historically known as "Newton's Second Law":a m t v m t p F ===d )(d d dThe quantity m v is called the (canonical ) momentum . The net force on a particle is thus equal to rate of change of momentum of the particle with time.So long as the force acting on a particle is known, Newton's second law is sufficient to。

味粒子物理学名词“味”在粒子物理学中是一个相当独特的概念呢。
**一、词性解释**“味”在粒子物理学里是名词。
它可不是我们日常生活中说的味道那种感觉哦。
**二、意思**在粒子物理学中,“味”是一种用来区分不同类型夸克和轻子的量子数。
比如说,夸克有六种“味”,分别是上(up)、下(down)、奇(strange)、粲(charm)、底(bottom)和顶(top)。
这就好比把粒子世界里的这些小家伙按照不同的特征分成了不同的家族,每个家族就用“味”来标记。
**三、用法**科学家们在研究粒子相互作用的时候就会用到“味”这个概念。
例如,在描述强相互作用和弱相互作用时,粒子的“味”会影响它们之间相互作用的方式。
就像不同性格(这里类比“味”)的人在社交场合(类比粒子相互作用的环境)中的表现会不一样。
**四、近义词**在粒子物理学这个范畴里,很难说有真正意义上传统的近义词。
不过如果非要找个类似概念来勉强表示的话,可能“种类特性”能有那么点意思,但这也不是完全准确的,毕竟“味”是非常独特的量子数概念。
**五、双语例句**1. “你知道吗?在粒子物理学里,夸克的‘味’决定了它们好多独特的性质呢。
The flavor of quarks in particle physics determines a lot of their unique properties, you know?”2. “我刚刚在看粒子物理的书,那些不同‘味’的轻子就像神秘小世界里的不同精灵。
I was just reading a book on particle physics. Those leptons with different flavors are like different elves in a mysterious little world.”3. “看呐,顶夸克这种‘味’的夸克可是超级重的,就像粒子世界里的大胖子。
Look, the top - flavored quark is super heavy, like a big fat guy in the particle world.”4. “如果粒子没有‘味’这个概念,那它们的分类得多混乱啊,就像没有名字标签的一群小动物。
a rXiv:h ep-ph/9712512v123Dec1997FERMILAB-Conf-97/431-Thep-ph/9712512December 97TOP QUARK PHYSICS:OVER VIEW a Stephen Parke Department of Theoretical Physics Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory Batavia,IL 60510-0500U.S.A.E-mail:parke@ Abstract In this presentation I will primarily focus on top quark physics but I will include a discussion of the W-boson mass and the possibility of dis-covering a light Higgs boson via associated production at the Tevatron.1INTRODUCTION The top quark is the heaviest “elementary”particle with a mass approximately equal to the sum of the masses of the W-boson and Z-boson.The top quark,the W-boson and the Higg boson form an interesting triptych of elementary particles.In the Standard Model knowing the mass of the W-boson and top quark allows one to predict the mass of the Higgs boson.Therefore in this proceedings I will primarily focus on the top quark physics but I will also discuss the W-boson mass and the possibility of discovering the light Higgs boson at the proton-antiproton collider at Fermilab,the Tevatron.2TOP QUARK PHYSICS The most surprising thing about the top quark is that its mass is approximately 175GeV,nearly twice as heavy as the W and Z bosons and more than 30times the mass of its electro-weak partner the b-quark.The Yukawa couplingconstant of the top quarkm t 2G F ∼1whereas for the electron the Yukawa coupling is 3×10−6.Why is the top quark so heavy?Does top have a special roll in Electro-Weak symmetry breaking?Does top have Standard Model couplings?These are some of the critical question that need to be answered at this time.2.1Pair ProductionAt a hadron collider the dominant mode of top quark production at hadron colliders is via quark-antiquark annihilation or gluon-gluon fusionq¯q→t¯tgg→t¯t.Figure1:The lowest order QCD top quark pair production cross sections as a function of √s for m t=175GeV for both proton-antiproton and proton-proton accelerators. For the Tevatron the dominant production mechanism,80to90%of the total cross section,is quark-antiquark annihilation whereas at the LHC gluon-gluon fusion is80to90%of the total.At the Tevatron the top quark pairs are produced with a typical speed in the zero momentum frame of0.6c whereas at the LHC this speed is0.8c.2Figure2:Resumed Next to Leading Order top quark cross sections from Laenen etal1, Berger etal2and Catani etal3.Recently a number of authors1−3have calculated the cross section for top quark pair production not only at next to leading order but they have summed the large logarithms to all orders in perturbation theory.For the Tevatron these results are displayed in Fig2.Even though these authors all agree on the top cross-section at the Tevatron they disagree in principal on how these calculations should be performed.Fig3is the cross section verses the mass of the top quark for the calculation by Catani et al3.The functional dependence of the other calculations is essentially the same with the cross section dropping by a factor of2for every 20GeV increase in the top quark mass.Also shown on thisfigure are the results from CDF and D0.In raising the energy of the Tevatron from1.8to2.0TeV the top cross section increases by38%with the gluon-gluon fusion component increasing from10to20%of the total.3Figure3:The dependence of the top quark cross section as a function of the top quark mass for the Catani et al calculation3.The latest experimental results are also shown. 2.2Top Quark DecayIn the Standard Model the top quark decays primarily into b-quark and a W boson,t→b W+→b l+ν→b¯d u.For a175GeV the width of this decay mode is1.5GeV,see Bigi etal4.Thus the top quark decays before it hadronizes and any spin information introduced in the production mechanism is passed on to the decay products.Fig4gives the correlations of the decay products with the spin direction for a polarized top quark5.Also shown on thisfigure is the correlation of the charged lepton(or d-type quark)with the b-quark direction in the W-boson rest frame showing the m2t:2m2W ratio of longitudinal to transverse W-bosons in top quark decay. Fig5shows the correlations between the W-boson decay direction relative to the spin-direction and the charge lepton(or d-type quark)direction relative to4Figure4:Angular correlations in the decay of a175GeV spin-up top quark.The labeled lines are the angle between the spin axis and the particle in the rest frame of the top quark. The unlabeled dot-dash line is the angle between the b quark and the positron(or d-type quark)in the rest frame of the W-boson.the minus b-quark direction in the W-boson rest frame.That is,if the W+is emitted in the spin direction it is longitudinal and in the minus spin direction it is transverse.2.3Spin Correlations in Pair ProductionFig6is the relevant three vectors for the spin correlation

contours.χtWdirection of motion if the W-boson in the top quark rest frame.π−χW e is the angle between the direction of motion of the b-quark and the positron in the W-boson rest frame.This spin basis is known as the Off-Diagonal basis.For the Up-Down spin configuration,the preferred emission directions for the charged leptons(or d-type quarks)of the top and anti-top quark are given by the directions of(t+ms)/2and(¯t+m¯s)/2respectively.Whereas for the Down-Up configuration the preferred directions are(t−ms)/2and(¯t−m¯s)/2 respectively.These vectors make an angleωwith respect to the beam direction withsinω=βsinθ∗.Near thresholdψ,ω≈0whereas for ultrarelativisitic topsψ,ω≈θ∗as expected.6Figure6:Spin and Momentum vectors for q¯q→t¯tin the zero momentum frame.2.4New Physics in ProductionHill and Parke9have studied the effects of new physics on top quark production in a general operator formalism as well as in topcolor models.In these models the distortions in top quark production and shape are due to new physics in the q¯q subprocess.The effects of a coloron which couples weakly to the light generations but strongly to the heavy generation is given in Fig8.Similarly Eichten and Lane10have studied the effects of multi-scale tech-nicolor on top production through the production of a techni-eta resonance, see Fig9.Here the coupling of the techni-eta is to gg,therefore only this sub-process is different than the standard model.At the Fermilab Tevatron top production is dominated by q¯q annihilation while at the LHC it is the gg fu-sion subprocess that dominates.Therefore these models predict very different consequences for top production at the LHC.2.5Experimental ResultsBoth CDF and D0have observed the top quark pair events in the dilepton channel,the lepton plus jet channel and the all jets channel.To get the latest7Figure7:Invariant mass distribution of the t¯t pair decomposed into the spin components Up-Down,Down-Up,Up-Up and Down-Down using the Off-Diagonal spin basis. information on the measurement of the mass and production cross sections see the CDF web page at and the D0web page at .At the time of this conference the CDF11results arem t=176.8±4.4±4.8GeVσt¯t=7.5+1.9−1.6±1.67pband for D012m t=173.3±5.6±6.2GeVσt¯t=5.53±1.67pbFor a comparison with theory see Fig3.What is surprising about these results is that with approximately100top quark events in total the top mass is already known quite accurately.Unfortunately all top quark experimental results so far are consistent with the Standard Model.8Figure8:The invariant mass of the t¯t pair for the topcolor octet model.2.6Single Top Quark ProductionRecently reliable results for the next to leading order calculations for single top quark production at hadron colliders via a virtual W-boson13or via W-gluon fusion14have been presented.A comparison of the rates for these processes can be found in Fig10for events with the topology positron,missing transverse energy plus jets.The rates for both of these single top processes are proportional to the CKM matrix element V tb squared therefore these processes can be used to measured this important Standard Model parameter.For2 fb−1(30fb−1)of data at the Tevatron the expected uncertainty on V tb is12% (3%).Single top quark production is a great source of polarized top quarks with the polarization being in the direction of the d-type quark in the event i.e.the anti-proton direction for W∗production and the spectator jet for production via W-gluon fusion.The production of single top quarks through a virtual W-boson is sensitive to form factors in the W tb vertex at a Q2=m2t.Hints of new physics could be discovered in this process.9Figure9:The invariant mass of the t¯t pair for the two scale technicolor model.3W-BOSON AND LIGHT HIGGS PHYSICSIn the Standard Model the mass of the top quark,W-boson and Higgs boson are all related to one another.So precision measurements of the top quark mass and W-boson mass will give us information on the Higgs boson mass. 3.1W-boson MassThe latest result on the W-boson mass from CDF15ism W=80.38±0.12GeVand from D016ism W=80.44±0.11GeV.Fig11is a summary of the current results from all experiments on the W-boson mass.In the Standard Model,because of radiative corrections,knowing the W-boson mass and the top quark mass gives a determination of the Higgs boson10Figure10:The cross sections verse mass of the top quark in the channel positron,missing energy plus jets for the2TeV Tevatron.mass.Fig12shows the current experimental results on this indirect measure-ment of the Higgs boson mass.Unfortunately at the current level of accuracy on the W and top mass measurements little can be said about the Higgs boson mass except that light values seem to be preferred.If this holds up with in-creased precision on these measurements it is great news as it means the Higgs boson is easily accessible or there is new physics near at hand.Either outcome would be great for particle physics.Improvements in the W-boson mass can be expected from LEP2possible reaching an uncertainty of34MeV.With a few fb−1s of data the Tevatron should reach an uncertainty of40MeV on the W-boson mass and almost2GeV on the top quark mass.If TeV33gets30to100fb−1of data the uncertainty on the W-boson mass will probably reach20MeV and top quark mass of1 GeV.This would greatly enhance the determination of the Higgs boson mass from Fig12.1112133.2Light Higgs BosonThe mass of the W-boson and mass of the top quark suggest that the Higgs boson is light.SUSY models predict that the lightest Higgs be less than150 GeV(125GeV in the minimal model,MSSM).LEP2will explore up to a mass of95GeV by the year2000.At the Tevatron a light Higgs17can be explored up to a mass of130GeV18−20with sufficient integrated luminosity,30-100 fb−1,using the subprocessq¯q′→W+Hwith the W decaying leptonically and the Higgs decaying to b¯b.The physics backgrounds for this process areq¯q′→W+b+¯b(QCD)→t+¯b→W+Z.This physics requires double b-tagging with high efficiency and low fake rates. Also one needs good resolution on the b¯b mass,above the Z-boson peak,then with very large data sets the Higgs boson will be observable if its mass is below130GeV.The process q¯q→Z+H will also be useful19.Hopefully the Tevatron can obtain these large data sets before the LHC has obtained significant data sets.4CONCLUSIONHadron Colliders provide a rich,diverse“feast of physics”.The top quark, W-boson and Higgs boson form a very rich triptych but there is also QCD, B-physics,Electroweak,SUSY etc.While the Fermilab Tevatron still holds the energy frontier it should be exploited to the fullest possible extent with luminosity upgrades to both accelerator and detectors.ACKNOWLEDGMENTSSpecial thanks to the local organizers of this conference.I also wish to thank the authors of many of the references who provided data from their work for the plots in this presentation.Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is operated by the Universities Research Association,Inc.,under contract DE-AC02-76CHO3000with the United States of America Department of Energy.enen,J.Smith and W.van Neerven,Nucl.Phys.B369,543,(1992);Phys.Lett.B321,254,(1994).142.E.Berger and H.Contopanagos,Phys.Lett.B361,115,(1995);Phys.Rev.D54,3085,(1996);ANL-HEP-PR-97-01preprint hep-ph/970626.3.S.Catani,M.Mangano,P.Nason and L.Trentadue Phys.Lett.B378,329,(1996);Nucl.Phys.B478,273,(1996).4.I.Bigi,Y.Dokshitzer,V.Khoze,J.K¨u hn,and P.Zerwas,Phys.Lett.B181,157,(1986).5.M.Je˙z abek and J.H.K¨u hn,Phys.Lett.B329,317,(1994).6.G.Mahlon and S.Parke,Phys.Rev.D53,4886,(1996);T.Stelzer andS.Willenbrock,Phys.Lett.B374,169,(1996).7.S.Parke and Y.Shadmi,Phys.Lett.B387,199,(1996).8.G.Mahlon and S.Parke,FERMILAB-PUB-97-185-T,hep-ph/9706304.9.C.Hill and S.Parke,Phys.Rev.D49,4454,(1994).10.E.Eichten and ne,Phys.Lett.B327,129,(1994).11.S.Vejcik,The CDF Collaboration,FERMILAB-CONF-97-249-E.12.Q.-Z.Li,The D0Collaboration,FERMILAB-CONF-97-229-E.13.M.Smith and S.Willenbrock,Phys.Rev.D54,6696,(1996).14.T.Stelzer,Z.Sullivan and S.Willenbrock,hep-ph/9705398.15.R.G.Wagner,The CDF Collaboration,FERMI-CONF-97-293-E.16.The D0Collaboration,FERMILAB-CONF-97-222-E,July1997.17.A.Stange,W.Maricano and S.Willenbrock,Phys.Rev.D50,4491,(1994).18.S.Kim,S.Kuhlman and W.Yao,CDF-ANAL-EXOTIC-PUBLIC-3904,Oct.96.19.W.Yao,FERMILAB-CONF-96-383-E,Jun96.20.J.Womersley,D0Note3227,Apr97.15。
