Particle phenomena, as a research area, encompasses the theoretical and experimental investigation of processes, interactions, and emergent behaviors involving elementary and composite particles, primarily within high-energy and nuclear physics. It focuses on quantifying scattering amplitudes, decay channels, production cross-sections, and correlation patterns governed by the Standard Model and its proposed extensions. Research in particle phenomena typically addresses gauge interactions, symmetry breaking, confinement, hadronization, and collective effects in many-body systems such as quark–gluon plasma. The field integrates accelerator-based experiments, detector technology, and advanced computational methods to test fundamental symmetries, probe new physics scales, and refine effective field theories describing particle interactions.
