Partikkelien
Partikkelien is a term used in Norwegian-language physics to denote the ensemble of subatomic particles studied in particle physics. The concept encompasses both elementary particles—such as quarks, leptons, and gauge bosons—and composite particles such as hadrons and atomic nuclei, together with the force-carrying particles that mediate interactions like photons, gluons, and the W and Z bosons. In broad usage, Partikkelien refers to the components that make up matter and mediate forces according to current theories.
In the Standard Model, the fundamental constituents of Partikkelien are organized into fermions (quarks and leptons)
Study and measurement involve high-energy particle accelerators, detectors, scattering experiments, and observations of cosmic rays to
Applications of knowledge about Partikkelien include medical imaging and cancer therapy, materials science, and the development
