particle physics is all about sub-atomic particles, looking for new particles and fundamental particles if we can find them. Also looking to find the theory of everthing stuff.\n\natomic or nuclear physics is all about atoms, radioactive decay, nuclear stability.\n\n\nparticle physics > atomic physics in my opinion :)

An atomic particle can be represented either as a particle or as a wave; such a particle has both properties simultaneously and with appropriate experiments you can see either property.  Electrons, for example, act as particles when you use them to light a CRT screen, but if you set up an apparatus with two slits and throw electrons at them such that they could go through either slit, you see a diffraction pattern as from a wave.  A consequence of this is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle: you cannot determine both the position and momentum of a particle with unlimited precision: the product of the uncertainties of the two measurements must be at least as large as a small number called Planck's constant.  For more on this, see any textbook on quantum mechanics.

Well, there are 3 families of sub-atomic particles, namely:\n\nQuarks, containing:\n1. up quarks (charge + 2/3)\n2. down quarks (charge - 1/3)\n3. charm quarks (charge + 2/3)\n4. strange quarks (charge - 1/3)\n5. top quarks (charge + 2/3)\n6. bottom quarks (charge - 1/3)\n7. all six anti-quarks\n\nQuarks interact with each other by the STRONG INTERACTION, which involves the exchange of virtual particles called gluons. Virtual particle exchange cannot be actually observed, hence the name "virtual".\n\nSTRONG INTERACTION: The particles that result from applying quantum principles to one set of FIELDS are called quarks.\n\nFIELD: The universe's fundamental building blocks, (according to the Standard Model). [I don't know what this means :)]\n\nLeptons, containing:\n\n1. electrons (charge -1)\n2. electron neutrino (charge -1)\n3. muon (charge -1)\n4. muon neutrino (charge 0)\n5. tau (charge 0)\n6. tau neutrino (charge 0)\n7. all six anti-leptons\n\nLeptons interact with each other by the ELECTROWEAK INTERACTION, by exchanging virtual particles called the photon, two W's and one Z\n\nELECTROWEAK INTERACTION: The particles that result from applying quantum principles to another set of fields are called leptons.\n\nBosons, containing\n1. photons\n2. Z boson\n3. W+ boson\n4. W- boson\n5. gluon\n6. Higgs boson\n\nWell, I'm not a physicist or scientist, just the normal person, so I can only tell you what I know:\n\nAccording to the Standard Model, Quarks or Leptons are tiny packets of energy.\n\nBosons are other types of energy packets, but cannot be observed because of the "virtual" thingy resulting from uncertainty considerations.\n\nWe don't really know what an electron is like, but it forms an electron cloud wherever its orbit is situated. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that there is a limit on the mathematical product of the position uncertainty and the momentum uncertainty of any particle and a corresponding limit on the product of the uncertainty in energy and the uncertainty in time. [I don't understand a single phrase of that :)]. Anyway, we know that the more precisely the position of an electron is known, the less precisely its momentum can be known, and vice versa. There's another strange thing about electrons. In p-type orbits, the orbits form a figure of eight, but with teardrop-shaped electron clouds replacing the eight with their tips facing the center. At this precise center, no electron can exist for any given time. That is, our probability of finding an electron here at any given time is zero. However, an electron can always travel from one teardrop to another. How, you ask me? I don't know, but it's explained in the wave theory.\n\nAs for photons, scientists explain its particle-like properties and wave-like properties by saying that spheres and wave-lines are far too simplistic diagrams to express the nature of photons. And, you'd probably like to know, that a photon's antiparticle is still a photon. So, scientists cannot know that whether a particular photon is actually matter or antimatter.\n\nProtons are made up of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark, hence the charge of 1+. Neutrons are made up of 1 up quark and 2 down quarks, hence the charge of zero.\n\n(Whew), that's about all I know. Sorry I couldn't explain everything, because I simply don't know anymore.

Charged particles will turn in a magnetic field.  That, coupled with the ability to make a charged particle flee a like charge makes it possible to force a particle to zip around at high speed.

A graviton is the name. The existance of this particle has´n´t been confirmed yet but hopefully it will be soon.

A particle accelerator is a physics device which uses electric fields to accelerate charged particles to immense speeds, sometimes significant fractions of the speed of light. Common particles that can be found within particle accelerators include protons and electrons, the building blocks of the atom.\n\nA particle accelerator is used to observe the behavior of small particles at high velocities and energies, as well as for more everyday purposes such as generating a specific sort of electromagnetic radiation. Particle accelerators are often used to smash particles against each other at very high speeds, revealing their more fundamental components. The x-ray generator and television set are both common examples of particle accelerators, with the same basic design as their larger cousins used in high-energy physics experiments. A particle accelerator falls into one of two categories: circular or linear.\n\nIn a circular particle accelerator, particles are accelerated in a continuous circular path. The advantage of this arrangement is that the particle can be directed in a circle many times, saving hardware. The downside is that particles in circular accelerators emit electromagnetic radiation, called synchrotron radiation. Because their momentum is constantly encouraging them to fly out on a trajectory tangential to the circle, energy must continuously be expended to keep them on the circular path, meaning circular particle accelerators are less efficient. In large accelerators, synchrotron radiation is so intense that the whole accelerator must be buried underground to maintain safety standards. The Fermilab particle accelerator in Illinois has a circular path of 4 miles (6.43 km).\n\nLinear accelerators fire particles in a straight line at a fixed target. The cathode ray tube in your television is a low-energy particle accelerator, which fires photons in the visible light range at a glass plate, the screen. The stream of photons is constantly being redirected to fill the screen with pixels. This redirection occurs fast enough that we perceive the alternating stream of photons as a continuous image.\n\nHigh-energy linear accelerators, or linacs, are used in physics applications. A series of plates alternatively attracts and repels the charged particles moving through them, pulling particles forward when they have not yet passed it, and pushing them away after they have. In this manner, alternating electric fields can be used to accelerate streams of particles to very high velocities and energies. Physicists use these accelerators to simulate exotic conditions, such as those in the center of stars or near the beginning of the universe. The "particle zoo" described by the Standard Model of particle physics was uncovered incrementally in particle accelerator experiments. The largest linear particle accelerator is the Stanford Linear Accelerator with a length of 2 miles (3.2 km).

It describes electron location in terms of probabilities.  The energy levels around a nucleus are not well-defined orbitals.  Rather, they are regions of space where an electron may be found.  Withing the orbitals, the electron's precise location can not be known.  According to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, the more accurately we measure an electron's location, the more imprecise the measurement of its velocity becomes, and vice-versa.\n\nSo, the best description of an electron's location is that of an "electron cloud", which represents the region in space where an electron has the highest probability of being.

The proper way to do this would be to calculate the quantum mechanical energy levels for an electron in a spherical well with potential = 0 for r < 10^-15 m, and infinite potential for r >= 10^-15m (ignoring relativistsic effects for now).  Because, by definition, the potential energy of the electron is zero everywhere within this spherical "box", all the energy is kinetic energy.  You can then calculate what the classical velocity would have to be in order for the electron to have such a kinetic energy.  You should find that the answer is an appreciable fraction of c (if not in excess of c).  This tells you that you need to consider relativistic effects.\n\nA back-of the envelope calculation to show the same thing invokes the uncertainty relationship, delta-x * delta-p > h/4*pi, where delta-x is the uncertainty in position, delta-p is the uncertainty in momentum, and h is Planck's constant.\n\nIn this case, by definition, the uncertainty in position is +/- 10^-15*m.  Plugging this into the uncertainty relationship and solving for delta-p yields:\n\ndelta-p = 5.3 * 10^-15 gm*cm/s\n\nClassically, the momentum is equal to m * v, so dividing the momentum uncertainty by the rest mass of an electron (9.1 * 10^-31 kg) yields:\n\ndelta-v = 5.8 * 10^10 m/s,\n\nwhich exceeds c, telling us that we need to go back and take relativistic effects into account.

Comes from space itself. Two particles just appear, a particle and its antiparticle counter part then they instantly annihilate each other returning that energy back to space.

the particles are accelerated by electromagnetic fields, but since it only gives giga electron volts, which is much less than a joule, it wouldnt rreally move you. it proprably would however, electrocute you and cook you with gamma rays and such

Oscillation, in physics, chemistry, and engineering, repeated motion back and forth past a central neutral position, or position of equilibrium. A single motion from one extreme position to the other and back, passing through the neutral position twice, is called a cycle. The number of cycles per second, or hertz (Hz), is known as the frequency of the oscillation.
