In particle physics‚ antimatter is material composed of antiparticles‚ which have the same mass as particles of ordinary matter but have opposite charge and other particle properties such as lepton and baryon number. Encounters between particles and antiparticles lead to the annihilation of both‚ giving rise to varying proportions of high-energy photons (gamma rays)‚ neutrinos‚ and lower-mass particle–antiparticle pairs. Setting aside the mass of any product neutrinos‚ which represent released energy

Astronomy/Origins 2B03 “The Big Questions” Lecture #34 What makes a particle “elementary” ? • A particle is elementary if it has no inner structure (i.e not “made” of some even smaller entities). Quarks and leptons are the most elementary particles we know about at this time. They are no larger than 10-18 [cm] The Standard Model • Quarks and leptons are the most fundamental particles of nature that we know about. • Up & down quarks and electrons make up ordinary matter.

Boson Research Paper Scientist have been hunting it for forty years‚ the key that will unlock the secrets of the universe‚ and now they have found it! Can the Higgs boson particle really tell humans how everything came into being? Does human kind owe its existence to something so elusive‚ so powerful? Is there a “God Particle”? How did humans get to be here in this universe? Scientist say that the universe began as a burst of pure energy‚ but somehow that energy turned itself into mass‚ which eventually

OIL AND WEAR PARTICLE ANLYSIS Abstract: Oil and wear particle analysis is a very powerful tool used to monitor and assess the health of a machine. Since the lubricant in a machine passes through all the internal parts that can wear‚ it is vital to maintain the quality of the lubricant thought oil analysis. Furthermore the presence of wear particles that are deposited in the oil can give a good indication of the wear material and the possible location of the abnormal wear

breaking down atoms‚learning oveer a 50 year span about the construction of the nucleus and sub-nuclear structure. Today‚ Cern is doing highest energy facilities ‚that is huge and expensive. Last year they found the ’god particle’ a particle associated with how all other particles get their masses. With this information they attracted attention. This discovery was not a coincidence‚ in fact it was a part of the next stage of physics research. Higgs Boson provides to give us a picture of basic rules

magnitude and price of what’s been called the biggest and most expensive scientific experiment in human history is enough to instill fascination and excitement in even the most non-particle-physicists among us. Once it’s running at full capacity‚ the project’s researchers say‚ the $5.3 billion LHC‚ the biggest particle accelerator ever built‚ will be able to answer questions physicists never thought they’d get answers to‚ like why the universe formed the way it did and why matter has mass. Critics of the

to explain not only the creation of the universe‚ but also how it works‚ why it works‚ and possibly how it will end. 1. The Higgs boson The Higgs boson is a hypothetical particle whose accompanying field is believed to be accountable for giving all other fundamental particles their mass. It is also the only elementary particle theorized in the Standard Model — the closest thing modern physics has to a "theory of everything" — that has not yet been actually observed through experiments. Why the difficulty
