Particles Flashcards
what is the exchange particle for electromagnetic interaction
virtual photon
what is the exchange particle for beta minus decay
W- Boson
exchange particle for beta plus decay
W+ Boson
Exchange particle for electron capture
W+ boson
Exchange particle for electron proton collision
W- boson
Exchange particle for muon decay
W- Boson
Exchange particle for antimuon decay(mu +)
W+ Boson
range of repulsive strong nuclear force
0-0.5fm
range of attractive strong nuclear force
0.5-3.0fm
compare the range of weak and strong nuclear interactions
Weak has shorter range (10^-18) than strong (10^-15)
what is the range for electromagnetic interaction
infinite
Explain how the graph number of electrons with Ek against Ek support the hypothesis that a third particle is produced
during β−
decay.
-missing energy is carried by the third particle(antineutrino)
-if not law of conservation energy seems to be violated as not all electrons have the same energy
