Review of Particle Physics

TLDR

This biennial review summarizes much of Particle Physics. The review compiles and averages 1900 new measurements from 700 papers, evaluates properties of known particles, summarizes searches for hypothetical particles, and presents extensive tables, figures, and reviews of key topics. The review presents all particle properties and search limits in Summary Tables, with a booklet available that includes these tables and abbreviated sections.

Abstract

This biennial review summarizes much of Particle Physics. Using data from previous editions, plus 1900 new measurements from 700 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons, leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons. We also summarize searches for hypothetical particles such as Higgs bosons, heavy neutrinos, and supersymmetric particles. All the particle properties and search limits are listed in Summary Tables. We also give numerous tables, figures, formulae, and reviews of topics such as the Standard Model, particle detectors, probability, and statistics. A booklet is available containing the Summary Tables and abbreviated versions of some of the other sections of this full Review.
