particle physicist
Studies fundamental matter
A particle physicist is a scientist who studies the fundamental constituents of matter and energy—quarks, leptons, bosons, and their interactions.
The field involves both theoretical work and experiments using particle accelerators: Particle physicists at CERN announced the discovery of the Higgs boson.
The work probes questions about the basic structure of the universe.
