**Particle Physics**
===Particle Physics, also know as High Energy Physics, is the scientific study of the elementary subatomic constituents, such as protons, electrons, neutrons, radioactive, and other exotic particles of matter and energy. These elementary particles are normally not found in normal conditions on earth so scientists use machines, called particle accelerators, to create artificial conditions where these particles collide with other particles. Some sort of physics master’s degree is normally needed for someone to become some type of particle physicist. It is also necessary to get a Doctorate degree in physics if you plan on being able to conduct your own experiments in this field. Fermilab, located in Geneva, IL, has one of the highest energy particle collider in the whole world. Anyone that is interested in subatomic particles and their characteristics during different scenarios would love to have this job.===
