An Exposition From Four-Vector To Quantum Field Theory, Weverton Dos Santos Alves
Honors Program Theses and Projects
The goal of this thesis is to research leading mass-generation theoretical models in particle physics; Which is the physics that fundamentally imparts mass on the known elementary particles. Before these mechanisms, all particles are massless quantum fields. As part of a 2021 REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) and a team investigating quark mass at Jefferson National Lab, I worked on a mechanical design of the Lepton Direction Electromagnetic calorimeter part of the detector upgrade for the Brookhaven National Laboratory. As integral as this effort is, because the theoretical aspects of mass generation and quark mass physics are traditionally beyond what …
