Applications of the Standard Model of matter

Question 1

What are the evidence that we have?

Answer 1

1. Particle accelerators
   - Linear accelerator
   - Cyclotron
   - Synchrotron

Question 2

Why did particle accl. prove the model?

Answer 2

Particles accel. at speed of light were able to collide, and the kinetic energy is converted into rest mass, creating new particles

Question 3

Explain how a synchrotron works?

Answer 3

Developed from the cyclotron. Uses the magnetic field to store the charges for passes through the accelerating potential difference.
