Hadron Physics

Hadron physics studies hadrons, which are particles made of quarks, such as protons and neutrons. These particles are fundamental components of atomic nuclei. Experimental particle physics investigates their properties and interactions using high-energy particle colliders. This research helps us understand the strong force, one of nature's four fundamental forces, governing how quarks bind together. Phenomenology in hadron physics connects theoretical models with experimental results, aiming to describe complex behaviors of hadrons in various conditions. Ultimately, this field enhances our knowledge of the universe’s basic building blocks and the forces that govern them.
