Do they capture those smaller subatomic particles observed in particle accelerator experiments?
AndrewSavagefb5608
The particle accelerator does produce hundreds of particle in each experiment but only 2 or 3 particles are captured depending on the predicted results. After the 2 subatomic particles are collapsed a huge field of various subatomic particles are formed. If we assume that the experiment is being conducted for the study of the Higg's Boson particle then the setup is created in a way so that only the required particle is captured and studied.
In fewer words only those particles are captured which is needed to be studied.
One thing to be clear on here: by "captured", we really mean "observed"; the data is what's captured, not the actual particle (many of which have extremely short lifetimes and can't actually be "captured" in the sense of "oh yeah, we put it in a bottle on the shelf" anyway). Also, it may be a good idea to get all the data your particular experimental setup is capable of obtaining, because negative results are still results. Say particle X (which is what you're looking for) is expected to generate tracks in detectors A and C, but not in B. Obviously you want to look at the results from A and C, but you should also look at B, because if you see results there too, that tells you that either you're mistaken about the properties of particle X or the particle you observed wasn't actually X.

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.
What is an example of a subatomic particle?
There are several subatomic particles. In general the term refers to the three main parts of an atom - the proton, the neutron, and the electron. But the proton and neutron are made up of even smaller particles called quarks (there are 6 of those!) and then there are all sorts of gluons and mesons... but I think the basic answer is the one that you want. Stick with proton, electron, and neutron.
What phenomenon is the reason that quarks are never directly observed or found in isolation?
Quantum Chromodynamics, which is best explained by quarks having a property called color charge. The three colors are red, blue, and green; all particles constituted of quarks must be color neutral.
What is the two most massive particles in an atom?
In order from heaviest to lightest: Higgs Boson, Top Quark, Z0, W+,-, Bottom quark, and Tau lepton. All others are less than 1.7 GeV and are not worth mentioning, are composite particles made up of quarks and too numerous to mention, or are predicted to exist if certain models are correct but have not been (and probably cannot be) observed.
Would a Unified theory like string theory or quantum gravity be intrinsically tied to empiricism?
It would depend if the theory were experimentally or obsversationally validated; in the case of String Theory (which is a theory of quantum gravity), more accurately called M-Theory (M-Theory unifies all five variants of String Theory into one with 11 dimensions), experimental validation is out of the question. Experimental validation would require an enormous particle accelerator; the scale of this accelerator simply cannot be imagined. Observational validation is unlikely as well: M-Theory predicts that we should observe magnetic monopoles (magnets that we have are dipole, meaning that they have a North and South end); however these have not been observed and are unlikely to be observed: they are not expected to have a very high density, meaning that the universe is too large and monopoles too few in number. Although it would be great if validated, it is highly unlikely to ever happen.
What is true concerning atoms A. atoms are made of even smaller substances called subatomic particles B. The properties of atoms cannot be measured or observed?
A i believe as they are made of protons neutrons and electrons Also you can look at the subatomic level
Is the quark both a fact and a fiction?
No, the quark is not both fact and fiction. It is fact. The six quarks have all been observed in the results of particle accelerator experiments (collisions) in high energy physics laboratories.
Which sub atomic particles are most involved in chemical bonding?
Electors is the subatomic particle. This is what is the most involved in chemical bonding.
What is the difference between a cyclotron and a linear particle accelerator?
The primary difference is that the cyclotron provides a "circular" path for the accelerated particles, and the linear accelerator provides a "straight tunnel" as a pathway for the accelerated particles. Both devices accelerate particles, but are suited nicely to be used in tandem The cyclotron is frequently applied as the "initiator" of a particle stream in physics labs with multiple accelerators. The cyclotron feeds the linear accelerator, which then provides a final boost to particles before directing them into a target. And this pair of devices can be set up to feed a larger "ring" accelerator. That is a "simple" three-stage setup for generating and accelerating a string of particles to ramp them up to near light speed. The accelerated particles, with their extreme energies, are then directed into selected targets and the scattering reactions observed.
In probability what activity in which results are observed?
Trials or experiments.
What are the features of a gamma ray?
Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves ... physically and functionally identical to radio, light, heat, etc. ... with the highest observed frequencies (shortest observed wavelengths). In experiments designed to reveal the particle nature of electromagnetic radiation, gamma ray particles (photons) have the highest observed photon energies.
What evidence supported thomsons hypothesis that the negative particles he observed from inside atoms?
Thomson had two pieces of evidence: 1- No matter what metal he used for the disk, the particles produced were indentical. 2- The particles had about 1/2000 the mass of a hydrogen, the lightest atom. These experiments provided the first evidence that atoms are made of even smaller particles.
What are the 9 processes being observed in the experiments?

How can Stephen Hawking prove his discoveries?
Steven Hawkings theories are not able to be proved, for they include quantum gravity, and subatomic particles and before and after the existence of our universe. That's why theories are theories, they are explanations for phenomenas that are observed. Some theories can be comfirmed, but quantum usually cannot be tested, such as time travel and just how 100ft waves are possible due to how large scale and how unpredictable energy can be transfered to from wave to wave resulting in radical amplitudes. One main reason is because his ideas about subatomic particles cannot be contained, they have no mass, nor electric energy.. They do however have energy when momentum is involved. No experiments can accurately explain these theories.

What happens to mass when a spaceship appraoches the speed of light?
If speed approaches the speed of light, the mass of any object will increase. This is not just theory; it is observed on a daily basis. Not with spaceships, of course; the technology is not ready yet - but with subatomic particles in accelerators.
Does string theory support God's existence?
String theory is simply an enhancement of the traditional particle theory, that takes into account newly observed facts about subatomic particles. It neither proves nor disproves the existence of God. Nothing in science does this.
