What is a subatomic particle known as?
They are leptons, bosons, hadrons, fermions etc.
What are the three main classifications of elementary particles?
Elementary particles are primarily classified into three main categories: fermions, bosons, and gauge bosons. Fermions, which include quarks and leptons, make up matter and follow the Pauli exclusion principle. Bosons are force-carrying particles, with examples like photons and gluons, and they mediate interactions between fermions. Gauge bosons, a subset of bosons, include particles like the W and Z bosons, which are responsible for the weak nuclear force.
What are the Particle rules?
The Particle rules refer to guidelines in physics and particle physics that describe the behavior, interactions, and properties of subatomic particles. These rules include principles such as conservation laws (e.g., conservation of energy, momentum, and charge), the Standard Model of particle physics, and the classification of particles into fermions and bosons. They govern how particles interact through fundamental forces and provide a framework for understanding phenomena like particle decay and collisions in accelerators. Overall, the Particle rules are essential for predicting the outcomes of experiments and understanding the universe at a fundamental level.
What are fermions and bosons?
I think perhaps your confused here somewhat. A fermion is a particle which obeys the Pauli exclusion principle; put simply two fermions can not be in the same state (i.e. have the same set of quantum no's) at the same time. Fermions cannot be broken down into anything smaller, fermions include quark's, electron's, muon's, tau's and neutrino's which are elementary i.e. not made of anything but energy Quarks make up all other particles. Bosons can be made of 3 quarks and are split into two catergorys: Baryons such as Protons, Neutrons and many other heavy particles these are effectively composite fermions as they contain 3 quarks. Or Mesons, which contain one quark and an anti quark and hence are not composite fermions.
What are the subatomic particles with no mass?
photonsgravitonsBoth are bosons, there are no massless fermions although neutrinos were once believed to be massless.
Will bosons or fermions exert greater pressure at same temperature?
At the same temperature, fermions will generally exert greater pressure than bosons. This is due to the Pauli exclusion principle, which prevents fermions (like electrons) from occupying the same quantum state, leading to higher energy levels and increased pressure. In contrast, bosons can occupy the same state, allowing them to condense into lower energy states, which results in lower pressure under similar conditions. Therefore, the nature of the particles significantly influences the pressure they exert.
Is the total wave function of identical fermions is antisymmetric?
Yes, identical fermions have antisymmetric wavefunctions. Identical bosons have symmetric -- look up Spin Statistics in any Standard Field Theory text.
Is a gluon a type of boson or is it some sort of force-carrying fermion if there is such a thing?
Yes, they are bosons. Fermions might be force carriers for supersymmetric particles if they exist but otherwise they are not.
What Is the relationship between a Higgs boson and an atom?
The Higgs boson is analogous to other bosons (photon, muon, gluon, graviton, etc.) which couple forces. Atoms are composed of fermions bound together by exchanging various virtual bosons (e.g. electrons are bound to the nucleus by exchanging virtual photons, the protons and neutrons in the nucleus are bound together by exchanging virtual muons, the quarks are bound inside protons and neutrons by exchanging virtual gluons), no real bosons of any type exist in an atom (although some atoms are themselves bosons even though they are entirely composed of fermions).
What are gauge bosons?
Gauge bosons are elementary particles (subatomic particles). An elementary particle is a substance that can not be broken down anymore. So to answer your question: Gauge bosons are the forces of what makes up nature. For example: Photon=electromagnetic force, gluon=strength, z and w bosons=weakness and gravitons=gravity (not yet observed). The different particles can be found on the Elementary particle table. I hope this partially answers your question.
Why is the weak force called as w z particles?
The W bosons are named after the weak force. The additional particle was named the "Z particle", it was the last additional particle needed by the model - the W bosons had already been named - and that it has zero electric charge.
What are some examples of bosons?
Some examples of bosons are photons (particle of light), W and Z bosons (mediate weak nuclear force), gluons (mediate strong nuclear force), and Higgs boson (associated with giving mass to particles).
