Best Answer

Nucleus consists of protons and neutron. This means that there will be an repulsive force between protons as like charges repel each other. Therefore the nucleus will not be stable and breakdown. This is where mesons particle comes in. Whenever there is an repulsive force between protons the mesons particle convert one of the proton into a neutron and the neutron near is changed to a proton. This takes place in fraction of a second.

p+ + π + -----------> no

no + π - -----------> p+

I think you would know what pi here is or ill type it later if you dont know.

Fundamental particle responsible for keeping the nucleus together is muon or meson?

It is meson. Hideki Yukawa named it mesotron which was later corrected to meson. Muon was the first particle that had the predicted mass of a meson. It was discovered by Carl David Anderson. It was later conclude that it was not the right particle.

Does a strong nuclear force hold the nucleus together?

Yes, the strong force carried by meson exchanges between protons and/or neutrons.


Does the strong nuclear force have charges like the electromagnetic force does?

No. The strong nuclear force works through the exchange of a subatomic particle called a meson. Additionally, the strong nuclear force has to hold protons and neutrons together in the nucleus, so having a charge would have no effect on the neutrons.

What is difference beween meson theory and yukawa theory of nuclear forces?

there is no difference b/w meson theory an yukawa theory of nuclear forces because yukawa predicted the nuclear forces as exchange of boson(messons) b/w neutron and proton which keep them bind in an atomic nuclei. so meson theory is just another name of yukawa's theory of nuclear forces.

What is the B meson golden channel?

The B meson has a number of decay modes, called channels. The term "golden channel" is applied to the first one, and in that channel (decay chain or decay event), the B meson transforms into two other mesons, a J/psi meson and a K short, or KS meson, a kaon.
