How Fermions Work: New Interactions from the Anomalous Behavior of Quarks, etc.

March 17, 3:45pm - 5:00pm
Manoa Campus, Watanabe Hall 420

Special Physics Colloquium presented by the Department of Physics and Astronomy: Richard Hill, Fermilab, to speak on "How Fermions Work: New Interactions from the Anomalous Behavior of Quarks, Leptons and Gauge Fields."

Abstract:
The Standard Model of particle physics consists of the fermions, or matter particles, and the gauge bosons, or messenger particles. The peculiar "anomalous" behavior of interacting fermions and gauge bosons leads to surprising predictions. For example, quantum mechanical consistency enforces nontrivial relations between the electric charges of quarks and leptons. The well-predicted decay of the neutral pion into two photons was an important early clue leading to QCD, the modern theory of the strong interactions. I review this phenomenon and describe several new applications, including neutrino-photon interactions in the Standard Model, and probes of electroweak symmetry breaking beyond the Standard Model.
