  5. Attendance and Class Style • Attendance: • is STRONGLY encouraged, to aid your motivation I give pop quizzes • Class style: • Lectures will be primarily on electronic media (I hope) • The lecture notes will be posted AFTER each class • Will be mixed with traditional methods (blackboard) • Active participation through questions and discussion are STRONGLY encouraged

  6. Modern Physics Course Material Survey class: • Special Relativity • Wave-Particle Duality • Bohr Atom • Quantum Mechanics • Statistical Mechanics Modern Physics deals with the fast and/or small where different rules apply from classical physics Modern Physics is not current physics!

  7. High Energy Physics at UTA UTA faculty Andrew Brandt, Kaushik De, Amir Farbin, Andrew White, Jae Yu along with many post-docs, graduate and undergraduate students investigate the basic forces of nature through particle physics studies at the world’s highest energy accelerators In the background is a photo of a sub-detector of the 5000 ton DØ detector. This sub-detector was designed and built at UTA and is currently operating at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago.

Atomic Physics Nuclear Physics Electron (Lepton) <10-18m High Energy Physics Structure of Matter Nano-Science/Chemistry High energy means small distances

  9. Periodic Table Helium Neon u d u u d d All atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons Electron Neutron Proton Gluons hold quarks together Photons hold atoms together

  10. What is High Energy Physics? • Matter/Forces at the most fundamental level. • Great progress! The “STANDARD MODEL” • BUT… many mysteries • => Why so many quarks/leptons?? • => Why four forces?? Unification? • => Where does mass come from?? • => Are there higher symmetries?? • What is the “dark matter”?? • Will the LHC create a black hole that destroys the Earth? NO! See: http://public.web.cern.ch/Public/en/LHC/Safety-en.html

  11. Role of Particle Accelerators • Smash particles together • Act as microscopes and time machines • The higher the energy, the smaller object to be seen • Particles that only existed at a time just after the Big Bang can be made • Two method of accelerator based experiments: • Collider Experiments: p`p, pp, e+e-, ep • Fixed Target Experiments: Particles on a target • Type of accelerator depends on research goals

  12. Chicago  CDF p DØ Tevatron p Fermilab Tevatron and CERN LHC • Highest Energy proton-proton collider in fall 2008 • Ecm=14 TeV (=44x10-7J/p 1000M Joules on 10-4m2) • Equivalent to the K.E. of a 20 ton truck at a speed 711 mi/hr • Currently Highest Energy proton-anti-proton collider • Ecm=1.96 TeV (=6.3x10-7J/p 13M Joules on 10-4m2) • Equivalent to the K.E. of a 20 ton truck at a speed 81 mi/hr 1500 physicists 130 institutions 30 countries 5000 physicists 250 institutions 60 countries CERN: http://www.cern.ch/ ; ATLAS: http://atlas.web.cern.ch/ Fermilab: http://www.fnal.gov/ ; DØ: http://www-d0.fnal.gov/

  13. Calorimeter (dense) Muon Tracks Charged Particle Tracks Energy Scintillating Fiber Silicon Tracking Interaction Point Ä B EM hadronic Magnet Wire Chambers Particle Identification electron photon jet muon We know x,y starting momenta is zero, but along the z axis it is not, so many of our measurements are in the xy plane, or transverse neutrino -- or any non-interacting particle missing transverse momentum

  14. DØ Detector 30’ 30’ 50’ ATLAS Detector • Weighs 10,000 tons • As tall as a 10 story building • Can inspect 1,000,000,000 collisions/second • Will record 200 collisions/second • Records 300 Mega-bytes/second • Will record 2.0x1015 (2,000,000,000,000,000) bytes each year (2 PetaByte). • Weighs 5000 tons • As tall as a 5 story building • Can inspect 3,000,000 collisions/second • Record 100 collisions/second • Records 10 Mega-bytes/second • Recording 0.5x1015 (500,000,000,000,000) bytes per year (0.5 PetaBytes).

  15. The Standard Model Standard Model has been very successful but has too many parameters, does not explain origin of mass. Continue to probe and attempt to extend model. • Current list of elementary (i.e. indivisible) particles • Antiparticles have opposite charge, same mass The strong force is different from E+M and gravity! new property, color charge confinement - not usual 1/r2

  16. UTA and Particle Physics Fermilab/Chicago CERN/Geneva ILC? U.S.?

  17. Building Detectors at UTA

  18.

  19. My Main Research Interests • Physics with Forward Proton Detectors • Fast timing detectors • Triggering (selecting the events to write to tape): at ATLAS 200/40,000,000 events/sec

  20. DØ Forward Proton Detector (FPD) - a series of momentum spectrometers that make use of accelerator magnets in conjunction with position detectors along the beam line • Quadrupole Spectrometers • surround the beam: up, down, in, out • use quadrupole magnets (focus beam) • Dipole Spectrometer • inside the beam ring in the horizontal plane • use dipole magnet (bends beam) • also shown here: separators (bring beams together for collisions) A total of 9 spectrometers comprised of 18 Roman Pots Data taking finished, analysis in progress (Mike Strang Ph.D.)

  21. Detector Construction At the University of Texas, Arlington (UTA), scintillating and optical fibers were spliced and inserted into the detector frames. The cartridge bottom containing the detector is installed in the Roman pot and then the cartridge top with PMT’s is attached.
