Particle physics, often referred to as high-energy physics, examines the basic constituents of matter and how they interact. Investigating these particles at subatomic levels demands extremely high energies, typically achieved through particle accelerators in experimental setups. The prevailing theoretical framework, called the Standard Model, identifies quarks and leptons as the fundamental particles that form all known matter. These particles experience four fundamental forces: Strong, Electromagnetic, Weak, and Gravitational (though gravity remains unintegrated into this model). Quarks participate in strong interactions - familiar composite particles like neutrons, protons, mesons, and hyperons (collectively called hadrons) contain them. Leptons, which include electrons, muons, tau particles along with their corresponding neutrinos, do not experience the strong force (they possess zero strong charge).

IELTS 6.0
Qualification Requirements
The minimum required GPA for graduate study is 3.0. Applicants should take the General GRE, and are strongly encouraged to take the Physics GRE subject area test for international applicants. Applicants without Physics GRE subject area test scores must provide other evidence of outstanding achievement and promise. There are no minimum required GRE scores for admission. Instead, we consider your scores, overall record, and letters of recommendation to make the admission decision.
transcripts, which preferably arrive by mail,
any GRE and TOEFL scores, which preferably arrive directly from ETS,
three letters of recommendation, which the reviewers put into the university's online system,
a statement of purpose and a curriculum vitae, which the applicant uploads into the university's online system,
an application form, created from the applicant's responses to the sections of the university's online system.
All foreign nationals must submit proof. The preference is to have TOEFL IBT scores sent directly by ETS to the Physics Department. The minimum acceptable score is 68.
