Particle collisions are fundamental interactions that occur when two or more particles come into contact, often resulting in the exchange or transformation of energy and matter. These events are crucial for probing the fundamental forces of nature and understanding the building blocks of the universe, as observed in experiments like those conducted in particle accelerators.

Exchange of energy

When things change from one kind of thing to another, like when ice turns into water, that's called transformation of matter. It happens because stuff is made of tiny parts that can move and change how they are put together.

Particle accelerators are devices that use electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles to high speeds and contain them in well-defined beams. They are essential tools in fundamental physics research, enabling the study of subatomic particles and the forces governing their interactions.
