Masters in Particle Physics and Atomic Physics

Particle physics (also known as high energy physics) is a branch of physics that studies the nature of the particles that constitute matter and radiation. Although the word particle can refer to various types of very small objects (e.g. protons, gas particles, or even household dust), particle physics usually investigates the irreducibly smallest detectable particles and the fundamental interactionsnecessary to explain their behaviour. By our current understanding, these elementary particles are excitations of the quantum fields that also govern their interactions
