Fields as Results of HE Particle Collisions?

Click For Summary
High-energy particle collisions can indeed create various fields, such as electromagnetic, strong, weak, and gravitational fields, alongside the production of new particles. These collisions generate particles like photons, gluons, and W/Z bosons, which are manifestations of fluctuations in their respective quantum fields. Therefore, the concept of "creation of field" refers to the generation of these particles as ripples in the underlying fields. All particles, including fermions and bosons, are fundamentally linked to quantum fields. This highlights the interconnected nature of particle physics and field theory.

Can the products of high-energy particle collisions include the creation of electromagnetic/strong/weak/gravitational fields (whether transient or not) in parallel with or in lieu of other new particles?

I'm not sure what you mean by "creation of field".

The high energy collisions can produce photons, gluons and Z / W bosons. These particles are ripples in electromagnetic / strong / weak fields. So from that perspective - yes, the high energy collisions can produce events in various fields, including electromagnetic field.

BTW, all particles are ripples in various quantum fields: electrons, neutrions, quarks... all fermions and bosons.
