Particle Physics Table: Find All Particles & Properties

In summary, the conversation is about finding a table with information on particles such as spin, lepton number, and mass. The website PDG is recommended as a good source for such tables, and a specific link is provided. The original poster also mentions a simpler, black and white table for personal use.

Hey there,

Does anyone have a table will all the particles and their respective spin, lepton number, mass, etc etc?

I know I could make one easily, but it'd be much easier if someone had one already, or knew of a site that had one.

PDG http://pdg.lbl.gov/ is a good place to look for any table about particle properties.

Click on "Summary Tables" and then on the links for whatever kinds of particles you want.

How about this?

I was looking for simple table, a black and white table that I could print and keep by my side, to check for conservations... The link you gave me is a nice wallpaper to hang on my bedroom though. I'll see if I find a place that prints it, cheaply, so I can add that one to my collection.

Thank you (both) for the link! Way too "deep", but very interesting!
 

1. What is particle physics and why is it important?

Particle physics is the branch of physics that studies the fundamental building blocks of matter and their interactions. It is important because it helps us understand the fundamental laws of the universe and how the universe came to be.

2. What is the Particle Physics Table and how can it be used?

The Particle Physics Table is a comprehensive database that lists all known particles and their properties, such as mass, charge, and spin. It can be used by scientists to find information about specific particles and to study their interactions and behaviors.

3. How many particles are currently known and listed in the Particle Physics Table?

As of 2021, there are over 200 particles listed in the Particle Physics Table. However, new particles are constantly being discovered and added to the table as research in particle physics continues.

4. What is the Standard Model of particle physics?

The Standard Model is a theory that describes the fundamental particles and their interactions. It explains how particles acquire mass, why some particles have electric charge, and how particles interact through the four fundamental forces (gravity, electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force).

5. Are there any particles that have not yet been discovered or confirmed?

Yes, there are still some particles predicted by the Standard Model that have not yet been discovered or confirmed. These include the Higgs boson and the graviton. Scientists are also searching for evidence of new particles beyond the Standard Model, which could help explain mysteries such as dark matter and dark energy.
