Particles are point-like (excluding the bound states)
To break matter into its smallest pieces, need high energy
Elementary particle physics = high energy physics
Present highest energy achieved (with accelerators):
LHC (2015) proton beams 6.5 TeV + 6.5 TeV = 13 TeV

Theoretical discussions on the unification of basic forces
has reached the Planck energy scale:

Example: Charmonium family
As the mass of the charmed quark is quite large, the velocities of c and c in a bound state are small enough that many important features of these states can be described using non-relativistic potential models.

Scattering rate
Colliding particle beams:
N
In this case, the relative velocity between the two particles
determines the flux:
= Na (Va+ Vb)
ɸ
a
Rate = Na (Va+ Vb) Nb σ , where: σ is the cross section.

Fermi’s Golden Rule
Fermi’s Golden Rule states: that the probability of a transition in
quantum mechanics is given by the product of:
The absolute value of the matrix element (aka amplitude) squared
The available density of states.
Typically a decay of a particle into states with lighter product masses
has more “phase space” and more likely to occur.
