What's inside a quark? | Questions | Naked Scientists
2019年9月10日 · Chris - So could these things be sitting in some other bizarre dimension that we see it in the dimensions that we're familiar with interacting with, but there are other dimensions that we can't see, they're hidden from us let's say. And that's where actually the thing that gives the quark its existence is sitting.
HOW DOES AN UP QUARK TURN INTO A DOWN QUARK?
2010年8月29日 · An imaginary picture of the hydrogen atom, the proton is composed of two red up quarks and one blue down quark with the electron being a yellow point. What do you suppose the code is that mixes the electron with one of the red quarks turning into a …
Tetraquarks: new configurations of subatomic particles discovered
2021年3月16日 · Harry - Very simply a tetraquark is a particle made of two quarks and two antiquarks. So, sort of four objects inside it basically, hence the tetra. It probably requires a bit of unpacking though, because well, you might ask what's a quark? Well, every atom has a nucleus, and you probably know that the nucleus is made of protons and neutrons.
What's the smallest particle we can detect? | Science Questions
2017年6月13日 · In that case, something like a quark, which is the constituent of a proton or a neutron - very, very very, tiny. I’m going to quote John Butterworth, who’s a Professor at UCL, who said “it’s about 43 billion billionths of a centimetre.” So absolutely incredibly tiny.
How the Higgs Boson was theorised | Interviews
2024年4月16日 · Lyn - Well, the latter part of the 1960s was a mess. It was more like a whole zoo of particles being discovered all the time.
Why do quarks, last less time, outside the composites particles …
2021年1月26日 · We will also add EM force and energy. The original particle composite, upon collusion, will be the original particle composites, plus relativistic mass and EM induction. This may add a quark or two that may only exist under these unique lab conditions. This intermediate and unstable state could explain the short life.
Can atoms be destroyed? | Questions | Naked Scientists
2019年3月12日 · Adam - It depends sort of on what you mean by destroy. If you mean just break it into bits then yeah you can. A lot of the history of signs has been oh, we can't divide this thing any further - oh no wait, yes we ca

How long do fundamental particles last? - Naked Scientists
2012年11月25日 · Neutrons last for just under 15 minutes if they're on their own. To do an experiment - actually the experiments we do with neutron scattering take place where you only need for them to last for less than a second, so that's not an issue - but you can actually capture neutrons, and put them in something like a little bottle.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) | Science Features
2009年12月1日 · The nucleus itself is made up of smaller particles, protons and neutrons, which in turn are made up of the 1st generation quarks - the up quark and the down quark. The electron-neutrino is a neutral and almost massless particle that is spat out of nuclei during beta decay.
