Conservation laws Flashcards
Name the classical conservation laws
Energy, Charge, Linear momentum and Angular momentum
Non classical conservation laws
Baryon number, Lepton number, Lepton family number and Strangeness
Energy
Conservation of energy before and after the interaction
Charge
Conservation of charge
Linear momentum
Conservation of linear momentum
Angular momentum
Conservation of angular momentum (spin)
Baryon number
Conservation of baryon number either side of the reaction
Lepton number
Conservation of lepton number either side of the reaction
Lepton family number
Conservation of lepton family number (apart from vary rare neutrino oscillations)
Strangness
Conservation for strangeness number for strong and electromagnetic interactions only.
