particle physics
Let an agent explain particle physics, relay the Standard Model, experiments and open problems from physics sources, describe the subfields the registry aliases name, and distinguish particle physics from nuclear physics, neutron imaging, astrophysics and condensed matter physics.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain particle physics, relay the Standard Model, experiments and open problems from physics sources, describe the subfields the registry aliases name, and distinguish particle physics from nuclear physics, neutron imaging, astrophysics and condensed matter physics.
The branch of physics that studies the elementary constituents of matter and radiation and their interactions, described by the Standard Model of quarks, leptons, gauge bosons and the Higgs boson discovered at CERN in 2012, pursued through accelerator experiments, theory and phenomenology, with subfields such as B-physics on bottom-quark hadrons and astroparticle physics and particle cosmology linking particles to the universe; the registry aliases neutronography and neutron detection belong more to applied nuclear and neutron physics.
What it is for: Understanding the fundamental constituents of nature.
It can be explain the field; relay the Standard Model and experiments; describe named subfields; distinguish related fields.

What it looks like
Not a visible object; a scientific field, visible through detectors and accelerators.
Physical character
Higgs boson discovery: 2012 year - ATLAS and CMS at CERN
LHC collision energy: 13.6 TeV - Run 3
Standard Model fermions: 12 plus antiparticles count
also called: high-energy physics note
How it is recognised
