🧬 The standard model of particles physics is a kind of periodic table of elements for particle physics. However, instead of listing the chemical elements, it lists the elementary particles of the atoms that make up the chemical elements and other particles that cannot be broken down into smaller fragments. 💜 3D model: https://bit.ly/36rxq4f 💡 Designed by Ezequiel Skorepa | Cults.

Are there more fundamental particles than the ones we currently know? 😲🤔 There are many different ideas for new physics beyond the Standard Model but many of them have one thing in common: they predict new phenomena in the proton–proton collisions at the #LHC that result in the production of pairs of very energetic electrons. Here’s a glimpse of the highest dielectron mass candidate that we have observed to date at the CMS Experiment at CERN! Electrons are shown as green lines in the tracker d
