    So, the strange quark has a strangeness number of -1.
    Well, that's a bit...

    This really is impressively done. Admittedly, I was first looking for a video with lots of fancy graphics having enough of the collegiate approach. This video reminds us that giving the student "insight something an insightful professor can relate counts for a lot. Having finished college a good number of years ago, it reminds me what the best professors always do. They know what is essential for everyone to learn and help tweak one's world-view of a topic.

    A neutrino is an elementary particle. Billions are produced by the sun when protons are converted to neutrons as the first step to making Helium. A proton changes to a neutron, a positron and a neutrino. You can get more info about neutrinos in my video on the Standard Model.

      JusticeRetroHunter How fast do Mesons move between Baryons?

  • @DrPhysicsA
    @DrPhysicsA  11 років тому

    The process is called Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) and involves firing very high energy electrons at a nucleus. High energy electrons have low wavelength so are able to probe the proton. Some of the energy of the electrons is used to create new particles which results in meson production. And you are right that electrons will be attracted to protons. But they can still deflect (just as a comet is deflected around the sun by attractive gravitational forces). I haven't done a video on this.

  • @DrPhysicsA
    @DrPhysicsA  12 років тому

    Thanks for comment. Do you mean gravity waves (eg waves on sea) or gravitational waves - the consequence of massive objects moving in curved spacetime?

  • @DrPhysicsA
    @DrPhysicsA  11 років тому

    You could use either. A W+ in one direction = a W- in the other direction. But a tip I am offering is to take the W away from the baryon and towards the lepton. Whether it is a + or - will be determined by whether a proton is changing to a neutron (needs a W+ away from the proton) or the other way round in which case its a W-.

  • @Les537
    @Les537 9 років тому

    This video was just what I needed. Thanks!

  • @DrPhysicsA
    @DrPhysicsA  11 років тому

    The general position is that baryon number, lepton number and charge are always conserved. And in the case of leptons it has to be the lepton type (eg electron, muon or tau). For particle interactions governed by the strong or electromagnetic forces, the total strangeness must remain the same. For interactions governed by the weak force, the strangeness can change by one unit.

  • @DrPhysicsA
    @DrPhysicsA  11 років тому

    Well this is partly what string theory is all about. At present the standard model contains what are known to be the most fundamental particles, (quarks, electrons, neutrinos and bosons). We have no experimental evidence to suggest that these are made up of anything smaller, but who knows what the future may bring.

    If, say, an electron and a positron were created by pair production, then angular momentum would have to be conserved. But if you take a random electron and a random positron they can have a spin in any direction and there is no requirement that one has the opposite spin to the other.

  • @DrPhysicsA
    @DrPhysicsA  11 років тому

    The key point is that no pair production will occur unless there is enough energy to provide at least the rest mass of the particles concerned. Excess energy will go to kinetic energy. But there is no way of determining in advance which particles will be produced. That is the nature of quantum mechanics. In practice, of course, billions of protons collide and produce a whole range of particles which enables us to calculate the statistical probability of their production.

  • @inalg
    @inalg 9 років тому

    12:45 The Mesons are combined by 2 quarks (a quark and an antiquark) so the total spin is not semi-entire... and consequently, I think they are Bosons, not Fermions. Very well explained all, thank you very much for your effort

  • @DrPhysicsA
    @DrPhysicsA  11 років тому

    It can indeed be measured but I do not know the details of how. You cannot, of course, isolate an individual quark so the measurement of the charge is going to involve measurements of other factors with a deduction of the appropriate charge.

    There is a bottom quark and an anti-bottom quark. They are different things. Anti-particles have opposite charge of their normal counterparts.

  • @DrPhysicsA
    @DrPhysicsA  12 років тому

    No. It's just that no-one has discovered such a gauge boson for gravity. If it were there it would be a graviton. The Higgs Boson isn't there either for the same reason.

  • @leehauyuan
    @leehauyuan 11 років тому

    Hi, for the paired production, how do you know what kind of "pair" it will produce during the separation of quarks in a proton? Such as a up and anti-up, down and anti-down or even strange and anti-strange,etc....

  • @goldensilverstar
    @goldensilverstar 11 років тому

    Wow awesome physics teacher

  • @DrPhysicsA
    @DrPhysicsA  11 років тому

    Yes. A proton decaying to a neutron requires an energy input (I think it is 1.29MeV ie the mass energy difference between the proton and the neutron - the neutron is about 0.2% heavier than the proton). A neutron decaying to a proton produces energy (about 1.29MeV). And yes, the total energy of all the particles has to be taken into account. Indeed it is this calculation which showed that there had to be a neutrino to balance the equation.

    I think it must be an error. The Up, Charm and Top quarks have charges of +2/3. The Down, Strange and Bottom quarks have charges of -1/3. The anti- quarks in each case have the opposite charge, either -2/3 or +1/3.

    I thought you said, if matter 'meets' their respective antimatter, they annihilate each other. How can an up and anti-quark coalesce to form a (Pi 0) meson? Surely, they would simply be converted into photons. Does this mean there needs to be certain conditions for annihilation to occur?

    Hi I have 2 questions. During electron scattering I understand mesons are produced, I don't understand how, I get how they're produced when you separate quarks but not when you fire electrons at a nucleus. I also don't understand why the electron is deflected, surely it should be attracted to the nucleus due to opposite charges. I don't think you've done a video on this but if I'm wrong please direct me to it :)
    Thanks.
