- So what's next for particle physics at CERN?
- And I have no expertise in particle physics.
- It's so good that we call it the standard model of particle physics.
- Well, that's the reason I left particle physics.
- There was no good ideas about how to go past the standard model of particle physics.
- And that is the gauge group of the standard model of particle physics.
- So the standard model of particle physics is basically tells us about nature's most basic elements and their interactions.
- But I think it's, you know, that that was his attempt to systematize the ways that one does integrals that show up in particle physics and so on.
- So it had to be in the in the range of huge particle physics temperatures.
- And that's absolutely the way physics goes in particle physics.

Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'particle' (small physical bit) + 'physics' (the scientific study) yields the subfield of physics that studies particles. This is a common, cross-linguistically transparent formation (e.g., Spanish 'física de partículas'), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Particle physics comes from the words particle, meaning a very small piece, and physics, the science of how things behave. Imagine breaking matter into tiny particles and watching how they move and act together, so the name means 'the study of the smallest parts of matter'.
