Abstract

The article focuses on different innovative ideas for teaching particle physics. It informs that particle is a tricky topic to study and A-level specifications in Great Britain tend to focus on learning about the particles and how they behave. Students need to know the names of the quarks and the particles they make up and also need to know the properties, how they interact with each other and some simple Feynman diagrams. Queen Mary University of London, has developed a model using different colours of lego to represent the different particles.

QUARKS, QUANTUM chromodynamics, INTEGRATED circuits, COMPUTERS, RESEARCH institutes, ELECTRICITY, TECHNOLOGICAL innovations
Abstract

This article presents information on the study of quarks using computers with Quantum Chromodynamics technology. Research is to be conducted using computers at the University of Edinburgh in Great Britain, and the RIKEN Brookhaven Research Center in Brookhaven National Laboratory in the U.S. The CQDOC chip is supposed to be able to consume a tenth of electrical power that enables it to fit into a single machine. To date it is difficult if not impossible to study a single quark in the laboratory.
