How is the atom changed if it releases an alpha particle?

In releasing an alpha particle, the atom loses two protons and two neutrons, for a total of four nucleons, the equivalent of a helium-4 nucleus. In losing two protons, its atomic number is reduced by two, and in losing four nucleons, its mass number is reduced by four. For example: 92235U --> 90231Th + 24He


What is a delta particle?

I don't think there's an answer to this question that's not a hard to understand as a delta particle itself.A delta particle is one of four types of baryon sub atomic particles or delta resonances composed of only up and down quarks. Delta particles are very short lived.


What is meant by four momentum transfer?

Simply put, four-momentum transfer is the special relativistic spacetime analog of classical (three-) momentum transfer. In classical physics, two bodies can interact and exchange momentum in three spacial dimensions. In particle physics, strictly spatial momentum vectors do not suffice. Instead we use four-momentum, a Lorentz vector. Four-momentum transfer is often referred to as Q^2 is particle physics literature. An interaction that transfer a large amount of four-momentum is a high Q^2 interaction.


Is there any particle that can travel in greater speed than light?

A tachyon is a hypothetical subatomic particle that moves faster than light. In the language of special relativity, a tachyon would be a particle with space-like four-momentum and imaginary proper time. A tachyon would be constrained to the space-like portion of the energy-momentum graph. Therefore, it cannot slow down to subluminal (slower than light) speeds.Despite the theoretical arguments against the existence of tachyon particles, experimental searches have been conducted to test the assumption against their existence; however, no experimental evidence for the existence of tachyon particles has been found. Recently, time of flight measurements from the CERN-OPERA collaboration have indicated that muon neutrinos may exceed the speed of light, but OPERA scientists have refrained from drawing conclusions, requesting that other groups first verify their result.

How long will the lhc experiment take?

The LHC along with its four main particle detectors are designed to last ten years. Within this time it is hoped many new particles will be discovered and mysteries solved. Also during this time an upgrade to the LHC to be called the SLHC - Super Large Hadron Collider - will be built as well as upgrades to the four main particle detectors.


When did the Large Hadron Collider open?

The first beam was circulated on September 10, 2008. The inaugural ceremony was on October 21, 2008. The first particle collisions in all four detectors was on November 23, 2009. See the link below for more information.

How is four-momentum conservation applied in the context of particle interactions?

In particle interactions, four-momentum conservation is applied by ensuring that the total four-momentum before the interaction is equal to the total four-momentum after the interaction. This principle helps to understand and predict the outcomes of particle interactions by accounting for the conservation of energy and momentum.


How does the mass of an alpha particle compare to that of a proton?

What are the four theories of mattter?

The four theories of matter are atomism, the kinetic theory of gases, the wave-particle duality of quantum mechanics, and the standard model of particle physics. Atomism suggests that matter is made up of indivisible particles called atoms. The kinetic theory of gases describes gases as collections of particles in constant motion. The wave-particle duality theory states that particles can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior. The standard model of particle physics explains the interactions of the fundamental particles that make up matter.


How many nucleons does an alpha particle contain?

What do we mean when we say that a particle is a weakly interacting particle?

When we say a particle is weakly interacting, it means that it interacts with other particles through the weak nuclear force, which is one of the four fundamental forces in nature. This interaction is relatively weaker compared to the strong and electromagnetic forces.
