B & C Pretest 2023 Monday

Physicists have observed or measured a number of things about the universe leading them to develop a representation of the basic structure of matter called

• The Periodic Table

• The Standard Model

• The Model of the Universe

• The Force Field

The study of new symmetries, undiscovered particles, and unexplained phenomenon in the 21st century is called

• space force studies

• geometrical physics

• old physics

• new physics

These devices propel subatomic particles to high rates of speed in preparation for collisions.

• accelerators

• detectors

• centrifuges

• high resolution cameras

This area of scientific study will reveal unknown forces of nature and new physical principles at multiple TeV (electron volt) levels.

• quantum frontier

• cosmic frontier

• energy frontier

• intensity frontier

These particles mediate the interactions between the other fundamental particles.

• electrons

• energy carriers

• neutrinos

• force carriers

These devices are used to “see” particle collisions and their results using electrical discharges and other particle characteristics.

• accelerators

• detectors

• magnets

• lasers

This area of scientific study attempts to understand dark energy and dark matter.

• quantum frontier

• cosmic frontier

• energy frontier

• intensity frontier

Fundamental principles of __________ dictate the basic laws of physics, control the structure of matter, and define the fundamental forces in nature (“sameness under some altered scrutiny”).

• conservation

• equillibrium

• interaction

• symmetry

This area of scientific study focuses on the phenomena caused by the interactions of huge numbers of particles such as neutrinos.

• quantum frontier

• cosmic frontier

• energy frontier

• intensity frontier

A group of fundamental matter particles of which three have an electric charge and three do not

• leptons

• bosons

• fermions

• hadrons
