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 is in everything that takes up space?
Bosons, for example light particles (photons), don't take up space. Bosons and fermions are the two different classes of fundamental particles. Fermions take up space. Now particles with mass don't always take up space, for example the force carrier particles of the weak nuclear force, they are bosons and therefore take up no space but they are quite massive (for particles).
Are electrons examples of hadrons?
No, electrons are not examples of hadrons. Hadrons are composite particles made up of quarks, such as protons and neutrons, while electrons are elementary particles that are not made up of smaller particles.
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).
What is the difference between Superstring Theory and Bosonic String Theory?
Superstring theory incorporates supersymmetry, which also allows it to describe fermions. Supersymmetry, of course, is the idea that there exists a corresponding boson for every fermion and a corresponding fermion for every boson. A nice consequence of incorporating supersymmetry is that superstring theory only needs 10 dimensions to be consistent (or without logical contradictions), while bosonic string theory requires 26. The most recent version of the Superstring theory incorporates 11 dimensions.
How do we explain particle classification in terms of bosons and fermions?
Bosons are particles that follow Bose-Einstein statistics, fermions are particles that follow Fermi-Dirac statistics. Another way of saying that is that fermions obey the Pauli exclusion principle and bosons do not.
What is a subatomic particle known as?
They are leptons, bosons, hadrons, fermions etc.
What are the subatomic particles with no mass?
photonsgravitonsBoth are bosons, there are no massless fermions although neutrinos were once believed to be massless.
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 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 subatomic particles called?
neutrons, protons and electrons, quarks (up, down, to, bottom, strange, charm), fermions, leptons, bosons (photon, W boson, Higgs boson, gluon, graviton).
What are extremely small units of matter?
Molecules, and atoms that make up molecules. An atom is made of smaller particles called protons, electrons, and neutrons. Smaller to this are groups such as fermions, Hadrons, Bosons
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).
Six physical changes matter can go through?
There are only three types of physical matter, solid, liquid, and gas. there are other categories are what we call sub categories which are Four: Plasma- a gas so hot the electrons have broken off the atoms Five: Bose-Einstein condensate- when the temperature is extremely low, the particles merge to form one giant particle Six: Fermionic Condensate- there are two groups, bosons and fermions. Fermions resist getting put together. When they are put together, that is the sixth state of matter
What is in everything that takes up space?
Bosons, for example light particles (photons), don't take up space. Bosons and fermions are the two different classes of fundamental particles. Fermions take up space. Now particles with mass don't always take up space, for example the force carrier particles of the weak nuclear force, they are bosons and therefore take up no space but they are quite massive (for particles).
What is super symmetry?
Supersymmetry (one word, abbreviated SUSY) is a hypothetical symmetry among groups of particles containing fermions and bosons, esp. in theories of gravity (supergravity) that unify electromagnetism, the weak force, and the strong force with gravity into a single unified force.
