Q

Beta minus radiation occurs ?

A

Too many neutrons , breaks down neutron into proton, electon and anti electron neutrino. The electron is shot out and is called a β particle

A

Neutron —> proton + β- + anti-νe

W- exchange

21
Q

Electron capture

A

P + e- —> n + Ve

W+ exchange

22
Q

Electron proton collision

A

e- + p —> n + Ve

W- exchange

23
Q

Define fundimental particle

A

A fundimental particle is ine which cant be divided into anything smaller

24
Q

Quarks name

A

Up , down , strange (charm, top, bottom)

25
Lepton names
Electron, electron neutrino muon , muon neutrino
26
Leptons key facts
No strong interaction only weak | Fundimental particle
27
what always happens to a muon
They always decay into electrons through weak interaction
28
Hadrons key faxts
Only particle which interacts via strong nuclear force 3 grouos baryons/anti and measons 3 quarks or one anti one normal
29
Only stable barion ?
Proton is the only stable barion all others decay into it
30
Pions
Exchange particle for strong nuclear force between nuclear force in the nucleus
31
Kaons
Are strange particles that Have a very short lifespan and can decay into pions
32
When and when isnt strangness conserved
Conserved in a strong and electromagnetic interactions but not conserved in weak weak can differ by (-1,0,+1)
