If the Higgs boson is discovered and found to have mass, will it be considered the ultimate carrier of the weak force? Explain your response.
The strong interaction must interact within the time it takes a high-energy nucleon to cross the nucleus. Use an appropriate speed and distance to estimate the time for the strong interaction to occur.

- You have entered a graduate program in particle physics and are learning about the use of symmetry. You begin by repeating the analysis that led to the prediction of the Ω- particle. Nine of the spin- 3/2 baryons are four ∆ particles, each with mass 1232 MeV/c2 , strangeness 0, and charges +2e, +e, 0, and -e; three Σ* particles, each with mass 1385 Me/c2 , strangeness -1, and charges +e, 0, and -e; and two Ξ* particles, each with mass 1530 MeV/c2 , strangeness -2, and charges 0 and -e. (a) Place these particles on a plot of S versus Q. Deduce the Q and S values of the tenth spin- 3/2 baryon, the Ω- particle, and place it on your diagram. Also label the particles with their masses. The mass of the Ω- is 1672 MeV/c2 ; is this value consistent with your diagram? (b) Deduce the three-quark combinations (of u, d, and s) that make up each of these ten particles. Redraw the plot of S versus Q from part (a) with each particle labeled by its quark content. What regularities do you see?arrow_forwardThe reaction π− + p → K0 + Λ0 occurs with high probability, whereas the reaction π− + p → K0 + n never occurs. Analyze these reactions at the quark level. Show that the first reaction conserves the total number of each type of quark and the second reaction does not.arrow_forwardCertain theories predict that the proton is unstable, with a half-life of about 1032 years.Assuming that this is true, calculate the number of proton decays you would expect to occur in one year in the water of an Olympic-sized swimming pool holding 4.32 * 105 L of water.arrow_forward
