Particle physics: the quest for fundamental elements

Stephen Carroll

Particle physics, also known as high-energy physics, is a field of study that explores the fundamental constituents of the universe and the forces that govern their interactions. It seeks to answer some of the most profound questions about the nature of matter and the structure of the universe. It provides an overview of particle physics, its historical development, its key concepts, and its importance in our understanding of the cosmos.
