The really important CMS detectors
Aristotle : all matter is made up of various combinations of Earth, air, fire and water
What is matter?
This belief about the nature of matter lasted for 2000 years

Ideas about Atoms
1800’s
John Dalton – meteorologist and teacher
- successfully explained chemical reactions by proposing all matter is made up of atoms.
- BUT they had no direct evidence!D. Krofcheck Canterbury Teachers Workshop 8

• Are these the elementary particles, ?
• Are they composed of even more elementary particles??
• Particle and Nuclear Physics are the studies to answer this questionD. Krofcheck Canterbury Teachers Workshop 11

Antimatter
Every particle has its antiparticle, of the same mass but opposite quantum numbers
eg. electron, e- : q(e-) =-1 , spin = -1/2 , m(e-) = 9.110-28 gr. positron, e+ : q(e+) =+1 , spin = +1/2 , m(e+) = 9.110-28 gr.

Gravitational G (graviton)

Mediating Particle
Example: Electromagnetic interaction
+ -+-p pe + e+
http://www.cerimes.education.fr/
The Fundamental Interactionsare produced by the exchange of a particle mediator
The particles of matter interact across a distance by exchanging a “messenger” particle
http://www.cerimes.education.fr/
The interaction range decreases as the mass of the messenger particle increases.
Standard Model of Particle Physics In a quantum description of matter and the laws of interaction
between them still do not know how to incorporate gravitation, but the rest of interactions are well described by a mathematical theory, the
Standard Model, able to make predictions that have been confirmed in experiments.

Components of matter Interactions
Symmetry
This model requires that the particle messengers are massless,But the W and Z are very heavy!! problem of the origin of mass
Higgs Boson The British physicist Dr. Peter Higgs proposed (1964) the so-called Higgs mechanism:All the particles would be generated in the Big Bang without mass, but by interacting with the field created by the Higgs particle, the particles would acquire mass, the greater, the greater the interaction. This field would fill the whole universe.

This particle predicted has not yet been unambiguously detected in experiments, hopefully we are hot on the trail!

Gauge Bosons – Z0 First detection in HI collisions!
First step is to find Z0 bosons in PbPb collisions
Z0 → μ+μ - observed for the first time in HI collisions!

Z0 → e+e- observed for the first time in HI collisions!
Z0 → e+e- event candidate
