Particle Interactions Flashcards
1
Q
What is only conserved in strong interactions
A
Strangeness
2
Q
What are the main forces
A
-strong force
-weak force
-electrostatic
-(gravity)
3
Q
What is the strong nuclear force
A
The force experienced by Hadrons that holds the nucleus of an atom together
4
Q
How does the strong nuclear force work
A
-repulsion between 0 - 0.5 fm
-attraction between 0.5 - 3fm
-strongest attraction at 1fm
-no force experienced after 3fm
5
Q
How does the electrostatic force impact baryons in the nucleus
A
Repulsion which gradually reduces as distance increases
