论文摘要
20世纪物理学中最大的启示之一，实际上是粒子物理学内部圈子外闻所未闻的。这是轨距理论，是如何描述所有物理相互作用的基础，也是几乎所有关于新物理学理论的工作的指导原则。试图将这些知识传播给更广泛的受众群体不是我们作为物理学家的责任吗？ 在这里，提出了两个简单的轨距理论模型，这些模型应该在没有任何高级数学或物理学的情况下是可以理解的，并且可以证明如何使用它们来显示如何使用规格对称性来构建粒子物理的标准模型。这也用于描述我们需要希格斯字段的真正原因。 尽管这些概念是复杂且抽象的，但至少一年级学生似乎可以理解主要思想。由于它们通常对尖端物理学非常感兴趣，因此他们确实赞赏努力，并享受对现代粒子物理学的更详细信息。这些结果无疑鼓励在这个方向上做更多的努力。
One of the biggest revelations of 20th century physics, is virtually unheard of outside the inner circles of particle physics. This is the gauge theory, the foundation for how all physical interactions are described and a guiding principle for almost all work on new physics theories. Is it not our duty as physicists to try and spread this knowledge to a wider audience? Here, two simple gauge theory models are presented that should be understandable without any advanced mathematics or physics and it is demonstrated how they can be used to show how gauge symmetries are used to construct the standard model of particle physics. This is also used to describe the real reason we need the Higgs field. Though these concepts are complicated and abstract, it seems possible for at least first year students to understand the main ideas. Since they typically are very interested in cutting edge physics, they do appreciate the effort and enjoy the more detail insight into modern particle physics. These results are certainly encouraging more efforts in this direction.
