Particle Data Group

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Particle Data Group is an international collaboration of particle physicists who treat, compile and analyze published results, the properties of elementary particles and the fundamental forces of physics . The group also publishes reviews of theoretical results that are of interest to phenomenology and related fields such as cosmology . The Particle Data Group is currently publishing the Review of Particle Physics and its pocket edition, the Particle Physics Booklet , which is updated annually online and published in book form every two years.

The Particle Data Group also publishes the Pocket Diary for Physicists , a calendar of dates from major international conferences and contact information from major high energy physics institutions . The Particle Data Group also manages the standardized numbering scheme for particles in such simulations in collaboration with the authors of event generators (programs that simulate particle collisions using Monte Carlo calculations ).

Review of Particle Physics

The Review of Particle Physics (formerly Review of Particle Properties , Data on Particles and Resonant States , and Data on Elementary Particles and Resonant States ) is an extensive, 1200-page reference work that summarizes particle properties and provides an overview of the current state of elementary particle physics , General Relativity and Big Bang Cosmology there. With more than 3000 citations annually, it is currently the most frequently cited document in high energy physics .

The review is currently divided into 3 areas:

  • Particle Physics Summary Tables - Brief overview of the properties of Eich and Higgs bosons , leptons , quarks , mesons , baryons , restrictions for the search for hypothetical particles and the violation of physical laws.
  • Reviews, tables and plots - review of mathematical and statistical fundamentals, table of the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients , the periodic table of the elements , an overview of the electron configuration of the elements, short table with material properties, review of the current status in the field of the Standard Model , cosmology , the experimental methods of particle physics, and tables of the fundamental physical and astronomical constants.
  • Particle Listings - Comprehensive version of the Particle Physics Summary Tables in which all significant measurements are fully referenced.

An abridged version of the review , with the summary tables , a greatly abbreviated section Reviews, Tables and Plots , and without the section Particle Listings, is available as a 300-page Particle Data Booklet in paperback format.

The history of the Review of Particle Physics can be found in the 1957 article Hyperons and Heavy Mesons (Systematics and Decay) by Murray Gell-Mann and Arthur H. Rosenfeld and the update Data for Elementary Particle Physics ( University of California Radiation Laboratory Report UCRL-8030 ) can be traced. In 1963, Matts Ross independently published a compilation, Data on Elementary Particles and Resonant States . At his suggestion, the two publications were merged a year later in the 1964 Data on Elementary Particles and Resonant States .

The name of the publication was then changed three times: 1965 in Data on Particles and Resonant States , 1970 in Review of Particle Properties , and 1996 in the current version of the Review of Particle Physics .
