RESEARCH


We are doing a research about PREONS

which are main building blocks of the matter and maybe the basis of the main interactions between them.

You can access a more detailed text about preons from this link

Research Subjects and Projects

  • High Energy Physics
    • Particle Physics
    • Even though the Standard Model (SM) can explain recent experiments, some of its problems and unanswered questions cast doubts on whether SM is the final theory or not. Some of the puzzles and problems in SM are listed below:

      •Huge number of free parameters in the model
      • Symmetry of quarks and leptons
      • Asymmetry of matter and antimatter
      • Non-merging electro-weak and strong forces
      • Gravitation
      • Nötrino mass
      • Family replication
      • Hierarchy problems
      • Charge quantization

      A number of solutions are proposed to solve these puzzles:

      • Compositeness
      • Extra-dimensions
      • Grand Unified Theories
      • SUper-SYmmetry (SUSY)
      • String Theory

      In our project, we assume that there are more "fundamental" particles beyond the ones we know.

    • Accelerator Physics
    • Lepton-hadron and photon-hadron colliders, plays an important role on the analyses of the deep inside of the matter. In our project, we consider various collider options and doing a research about the optimum luminosity. Main aim is maximizing luminosity to increase the physics search potential of the colliders. FCC is the future 100 TeV center-of-mass energy pp collider studied at CERN and supported by European Union within the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for Research and Innovation. It is possible to construct tangential (linear or ring accelerators) to the FCC and therefore multi-TeV lepton-hadron and photon-hadron colliders. Researches on the FCC-based lepton-hadron and photon-hadron colliders' physics search potentials reveal the originality of this study. Especially, there is no study about the main parameters of muon-hadron colliders (when luminosity is optimized) until today.
