Radioactivity
Henri Becquerel
(15 December 1852 – 25 August 1908)
• Studying phosphorescence, thought
uranium salts were excited by the sun
• By May 1896, concluded that it was
uranium itself
Maria Sklodowska-Curie
• Discovered Polonium and Radium
(both radioactive)
• Developed techniques to isolate them
Radioactivity seemed to contradict
energy conservation

The electron
• J J Thomson, 1897
• Cathode rays were bent by a magnetic field
• Adjusting strengths of E and B fields:
– speed and mass-to-charge ratio
• Constituent of the atom, which is much heavier
• “Plums in pudding”

The discovery of the neutron
• Before the discovery of the neutron:
– Nucleus assumed to have electrons and protons
– Problems:
• impossible to confine an electron inside a space as small
as the nucleus (by the uncertainty principle, too large pe)
• Nitrogen nucleus: A=14, Z=7.
– Had been shown to be a boson
– But if this model was correct, 14p + 7e should be a fermion
• Completes the “classical trio” (e, n, p)

The Photon (1900-1924)
• More in common with the W and Z than with p and n
• 1900: Max Plank
– The “ultraviolet catastrophe” is avoided if radiation comes in
‘packages’ (quanta) with
E = hv (E: energy, h=6.62x10-27erg s, v: frequency)
– No explanation (maybe related to the emission process)
• 1905: Albert Einstein
– Feature of the EM field itself (not only emission)
– Photoelectric effect:
• Electron energy depends on the color, not intensity
• Intensity affects the number of electrons
• E ≤ hv – w (w: “work function” of the material)

The Photon (II)
• Einstein seemed to resurrect light corpuscles, so his
quanta met with a hostile reception
• In 1916, Millikan verified it experimentally
“… appears in every case to predict exactly the observed
results. … Yet the semicorpuscular theory by which
Einstein arrived at his equation seems at present wholly
untenable”
• Finally settled by A. H. Compton’s experiment (1923):
l¢ = l + lc (1- cosq )
lc = h / mc

The Photon (III)
• Change in the interpretation of field theory
• Action at a distance:
– Classically: “mediated” by a field
– Now: mediated by an exchange of particles (field “quanta”)
• Not merely a kinematic phenomenon
• In many cases (including atomic physics), the large
number of photons washes out quantum effects.
• In elementary processes (photoelectric effect, Compton
scattering, …), quantization can no longer be ignored.

Mesons (1934-1947)
• What holds the nucleus together?
– A new force, stronger than EM, is needed
– Not noticeable in everyday life, why?
– Short range!
• Hideki Yukawa, 1934
– If p, n are attracted through a quantum field, what are the
properties of its quanta?
– Short range  heavy mediator
– Yukawa estimated ~ 300 me , “meson” (middle-weight)
e : lepton (light-weight), p,n: baryons (heavy-weights)
– In 1937, two groups identified “middle-weight” particles in
cosmic rays, but: wrong lifetime, mass too low, inconsistent
measurements.

Mesons (1934-1947)
• 1947: puzzle resolved:
– Two different ‘middle-weight’ particles
– Named pion (π) and muon (μ)
– The true Yukawa meson is the π
• Abundant in the upper atmosphere, but very short lived
– The μ is lighter and lives longer
• Eventually recognized as a simple “heavy electron”, with no
role in the nuclear interaction.
• Isidor Isaac Rabi: “Who ordered that?!”

Antiparticles (1930-1956)
• In 1927, Dirac combined QM and Special Relativity to
describe free electrons
• The Dirac Equation had a big problem: for every solution
there was one with negative energy.
• If correct, electrons would
– always be moving towards ever more negative energy states
– radiate an infinite amount of energy in the process
• To solve this, Dirac postulated that negative-energy
states were already filled by an infinite ‘sea’ of electrons
– Always there, and perfectly uniform, so no net force
– By Pauli exclusion, observed e’s cannot occupy those states
L. R. Flores Castillo

January 9, 2015
17
Antiparticles (1930-1956)
• Imparting enough energy to an e from the “sea”, it would
jump to a positive energy state
• How would the ‘hole’ left look like?
– Missing negative charge: positive charge
– Missing negative energy: positive energy
– i.e., as an ordinary particle with positive charge
• Was it the proton? (as Dirac hoped)
– No (the mass needed to be the correct one)
– No such particle (m=me, q=-qe) known at the time

Antiparticles (1930-1956)
• 1931-32: Carl David Anderson discovers the positron
• Dimitri Skobeltsyn had
observed it in 1929
• Chung-Yao Chao, a
Chinese grad student at
Caltech, had indications,
but they were inconclusive
and not pursued
• Frédéric and Irène JoliotCurie had dismissed them
as protons
Cloud Chamber photograph; a 6mm lead plate separates the two halves. From
63 MeV to 23 MeV, at least ten times larger than a proton path of this curvature.

19
Antiparticles (1930-1956)
• Dirac’s equation signaled a profound and universal
symmetry: for every kind of particle, an antiparticle
(same mass, opposite charge)
– Electron (e-)  positron (e+)
– Muon (μ-)  antimuon (μ+)
– Proton (p)  antiproton (pbar) (Berkeley, 1955)
– Neutron (n)  antineutron (nbar) (idem, 1956)
– Photon (γ)  Photon!!
• Which one is matter and which is ‘anti’-matter is
arbitrary… to some extent

Crossing symmetry
• If the following reaction is seen:
A+ B ®C+ D
• Then the following will also be allowed:
A ® B +C + D
A+C ® B + D
C+D® A+B
C+D® A+B
(as long as energy is conserved)

• Problem: the e- seemed to violate energy conservation
– In the rest frame of the ‘parent’ nucleus,
the electron energy should be
æ mA2 - mB2 + me2 ö 2
E =ç
÷c
2 mA
è
ø
– i.e. it should be fixed by the masses of the nuclei A and B.
– … but the experiment showed significant variations… and
the equation above represented only the maximum e- energy.
– What to do? Abandon E conservation? (as Bohr suggested)

Neutrinos (1930-1962)
• Wolfgang Pauli suggested an invisible particle
– It would carry off the missing energy
– Should have q=0
• For charge conservation, and
• Because it hadn’t been detected
• Pauli wanted to call it “neutron”, but in 1932
Chadwick used that name for the particle he discovered
• Many skeptical about Pauli’s proposal, but…
• 1933: Enrico Fermi
– included Pauli’s particle (‘neutrino’)
into a new theory of beta decay
– The theory was so successful that
the neutrino was taken seriously

Neutrinos (1930-1962)
• Still, by 1950, no direct evidence
– Where they real, or just math?

• Detection: from beta decay: n ® p
one can infer the ‘inverse’ beta decay:
-
+e +v
n + p ®n+e

• But neutrinos interact extremely rarely.
– Very intense source: Savannah River nuclear reactor, SC
• 5x1013 v / s /cm2
– Large detector:

Neutrinos (1930-1962)
Other experiments showed that
• Neutrinos are not their own antiparticles (γ and π are)
• How to tell which reactions can occur? Lepton number
– e, μ, ν: L=+1. Antiparticles: L=-1
– “Lepton number conservation”
n + n ® p + + e- ?
n + n ® p+ + e- ?
m - ® e- + n ?
m - ® e- + n + n ?

Strange Particles (1947-1960)
When the Nobel Prizes were first awarded in 1901, physicists knew […]
of only two […] “elementary particles”: the electron and the proton. A
deluge of other “elementary” particles appeared after 1930: […]. I have
heard it said that “the finder of a new elementary particle used to be
rewarded by a Nobel Prize, but such a discovery now ought to be
punished by a $10,000 fine”
Willis Lamb, 1995 Nobel Prize acceptance speech
• “Strange” particles were specially intriguing because
– They are produced on a time scale of 10-23 seconds
– They decay in a much slower scale (~ 10-10 seconds)
• This hinted that maybe production and decay were
through different fundamental forces

35
Strange Particles (1947-1960)
• Abraham Pais developed a model for these decays, with
it happening always in pairs (“associated production”)
• 1953: Gell-Mann and Nishijima built on Pais’s idea:
– New property to each particle: “strangeness”
– Should be conserved in strong interactions
– Not conserved in weak interactions

Strange Particles (1947-1960)
• Kaons have S=+1, Σ and Λ: -1, ordinary ones (π,p,n): 0
• Always in pairs, so as to keep ΔS=0:
p - + p+ ® K + + S® K 0 + S0
p - + p+ ® p + + S®p0 +L
® K0 + L
® K0 + n
• When particles decay, strangeness is not conserved:
L ® p+ + p S ® p +p
® n+p+

Where are we so far?
• From O(100) “elements”, to
– Three particles
– Then four (adding the muon/pion)
– Then five (muon≠pion)
– … then many more
• Three types of leptons, each their own neutrino
• Mesons, baryons, leptons, strange particles
• Odd “conservation laws” for new properties
• Maybe two types of interaction

The Quark Model (1964)
• So far, discovery and classification, but …
why these patterns?
• Gell-Mann and George Zweig proposed
that hadrons are built of more basic objects.
• Gell-Mann called them ‘quarks’
George Zweig
• Composition rules:
– Every baryon is composed of 3 quarks (antibaryon: antiquarks)
– Every meson is composed of a quark and an antiquark.

Problems (at the time) for the Quark Model
Lack of detection
– In accelerators, it should be possible to extract one from a p
– Having fractional charges, they would be easy to identify
– At least the lightest quark should be stable
Yet no one had ever seen a quark…
“Quark confinement” ??
Some evidence of “three lumps” in protons, but inconclusive
Violation of Pauli exclusion?
– Quarks must carry spin ½,  fermions
– The Δ++, should be uuu, all in the same state
– O.W. Greenberg suggested quarks come in three “colors”
• A baryon would then have one of each color
L. R. Flores Castillo

46
Problems (at the time) for the Quark Model
• All naturally occurring particles are colorless
either total amount of each color is zero,
or all three colors are present in equal amounts
• These would “explain” why only combinations of 2 and 3
quarks:
the only colorless combinations are qq, qqq, qqq
• “The last gasp of the quark model”?
• What rescued the quark model?

The “November revolution”
• 1974: The discovery of the J/ψ
• Samuel Ting’s group observed it
in the summer of 1974; kept it
secret until Nov. 10-11 (BNL: J)
• Discovered independently by
Burton Richter’s group (SLAC: ψ)
Exceptional particle:
• ~ 3mp
• Extremely long lifetime
(10-20 vs 10-23 s of other hadrons)
• A new quark: c

Towards a revolution
• Leptons: e (-1), ve (0), μ (-1), vμ (0)
• Quarks: d (-1/3), u (2/3), s (-1/3),
• Shouldn’t there be a fourth quark?
• When the J/Psi was discovered, the quark model was
ready with an explanation and its implications.
• Having c and cbar, total charm = 0, “hidden”; needed to
find ‘naked’ or ‘bare’ charm.
– First charmed baryons in 1975 (first with u, d, then with s)
– First charmed mesons in 1976 (same pattern)

The aftermath
• In 1975, a new lepton was discovered (the tau) and its
own neutrino.
• Four quarks and six leptons…
• In 1977 a new meson was found, and identified as having
a fifth quark: ‘bottom’ or ‘beauty’ (so experimentalists
started to look for naked beauty and bare bottom)
– Λb = udb in the 1980’s
– Σb – uub in 2006
– Ξb = dsb in 2007 (FNAL)
• Not hard to predict then a sixth quark
– The top quark was discovered in 1995 at Fermilab
– 174 GeV/c2 !! (~ 40 times the mass of the b)
– Decays too fast! No bound states

Intermediate Vector Bosons
• Fermi’s beta decay theory did not use a mediating
particle
• Excellent approximations
• A theory w/ particle mediator was expected to replace it
• EW theory from Glashow, Weinberg and Salam:
– MW = 82 ± 2 GeV/c2
– MZ = 92 ± 2 GeV/c2
• CERN began construction of ppbar machine (late 1970s)
• Discoveries:
– January 1983: W (80.403 ± 0.029 GeV/c2)
– June 1983: Z (91.188 ± 00.002 GeV/c2)
• “Relief, not shock or surprise”.

The Standard Model
• Three interactions, force mediators for all.
• Strong force mediator: pion? Eta? Rho?
• All of them are composite; we should rather look at the
mediator between quarks: the gluon
• Eight gluons (photon:1, W+W-Z:3, gluons:8)
• They carry color; as quarks, only colorless combs exist
• Detectable only within hadrons or in colorless combs with
other gluons (“glueballs”)

36 quarks,
12 mediators,
1 Higgs:
----------------61 elementary
particles;
• Too many?
– Maybe …
maybe not
(a lot of structure)

Some BSM thoughts
• Why three generations?
– At least one reason: predominance of matter over antimatter
• Why only three?
– Seems like a good question, … but ~ 1988 SLAC and CERN
closed the possibility of more:
• Z bosons decay into any q/qbar or l/lbar pair
• May decay into other particles (if below half the Z mass)
– Number of light neutrinos: 2.99 +- 0.06
• 12 masses, three angles and a phase, Weinberg angle
(EW mixing). In total over 20 arbitrary parameters.
• Acceptable in a ‘final’ theory?
