A beta particle is either an electron, or an anti-electron (positron). Both have a spin of 1/2.

Why does theory predict that a neutron star should spin fast?

Neutron stars are born from massive stars collapsing, which conserves the original star's angular momentum. Since the original star had a slow rotation, the neutron star that forms from it will have a faster spin due to the conservation of angular momentum.


What is spin of particle in physics?

Taking a 'particle' as a proton/ neutron, both of these have spin 1/2. So do all leptons (electrons, neutrinos, etc).


How Predict the ground state spin and parity of 6C13 and 17CI37 on the basis of shell model?

In the shell model, the ground state spin of a nucleus is determined by the unpaired nucleons. For 6C13, the last neutron fills the 1d5/2 orbital, resulting in a spin of 3/2. The parity of the ground state is typically positive for most stable nuclei. For 17CI37, the last neutron fills the 1h11/2 orbital, resulting in a spin of 7/2 and a positive parity for the ground state.


Two important properties of young neutron stars are?

Rapid rotation: Neutron stars can spin incredibly fast, with some completing hundreds of rotations per second. Strong magnetic fields: Neutron stars have extremely powerful magnetic fields, magnitudes stronger than any other object in the universe, which can influence their behavior and emit radiation.


Is neutron has maximum spin?

Neutrons have a spin of 1/2, which is characteristic of fermions. This means they follow the Pauli exclusion principle, allowing only two neutrons to occupy the same quantum state. While they do not have maximum spin, particles like photons have a maximum spin of 1, and hypothetical particles called "gravitons" are theorized to have a spin of 2. Therefore, neutrons do not possess the maximum spin compared to other particles.

Why is a neutron star expected to spin rapidly?

All young neutron stars spin rapidly. You might be confused with a pulsar. See related questions.

Which helicity state of an unpolarized neutron beam will be more strongly absorbed by a helium-3 target polarized with its speed along the neutron beam axis?

If the 3He target has its spin polarized along the axis of the neutron beam, you may consider that the protons' spin will be canceling out and the spin will be more-or-less carried by the one neutron. Thus it will prefer to absorb neutrons polarized in the opposite direction, ie negative helicity.


What is spinning neutron star called?

It is still called a neutron star. Depending on how we observe it, it may also be called a pulsar.

What would happen to a neutron star with an accretion disk orbiting in a direction opposite to the neutron star's spin?

The neutron star so affected wouldn't really notice. The mass of the neutron star is huge compared to that of the material in the accretion disk. And that matter, when it falls in, wouldn't really "slow" the spin of the star much unless there was a gigantic quantity of matter falling in and/or it acted over a very long period.

Why do neutron star spin so rapidly?

Most stars spin (albeit is very slowly), but when the star starts to shrink it will speed up due to conservation of angular momentum. Moreover because a neutron star is so very heavy it takes a long time for it to slow down (breaking can occur via magnetic fields for example). You can test this principle yourself by sitting into an office chair, spreading your arms, and have someone give you a good whirl. You will find that while spinning you will spin faster if you pull your arms inwards and slower if you put them out again.
