Fermions
What are the two types of fermions?
Quarks and Leptons
Which boson has a scalar field?
Higgs Boson
What is the difference between baryons and mesons?
Baryons have 3 quarks, but mesons have one quark and one anti-quark
How many of the SUSY particles have we discovered?
0
What would most likely happen if the Higgs field collapsed and move to the true bottom.
We would die
What are the 6 quark flavors?
up, down, charm, strange, top, bottom
Which boson allows us to see?
The photon
What is the Pion made of?
One up quark and one anti down quark
What problem does string theory fix?
It incorporates gravity
What is necessary for a particle to be a strangelet?
It has to have a roughly equal number of up down and strange quarks
What are the three neutrino flavors?
electron, muon, tau
Which of the four forces does not have a mediating boson that we have discovered?
gravity
What is a proton made up of?
Two up quarks and one down quark
What is the problem with string theory?
It requires a different set of dimensions than the ones that we have
What is the main idea of Quantum Field Theory?
Each particle is an excitation in its respective field. The total energy is always conserved throughout interactions
The collision of what two particles releases a top anti-top quark pair?
proton and anti-proton
Which baryons is a candidate for strange matter?[DAILY DOUBLE]
The lambda Baryon
What problem does the axion fix?
The matter antimatter in-equivalence
What force causes the nucleus of atoms to break down at the center of a neutron star?
Gravity
What causes neutrino oscillation?[DAILY DOUBLE]
Superposition of mass eigenstates
Which bosons does not interact with the Higgs Field
The Photon and the gluon
What are the Baryons that have a half life of over 1 second?
Proton, Neutron, Anti-Proton, Anti-Neutron
What does String Theory say that each particle is
A one dimensional string vibrating at different frequencies for different particles
What property of the particle is changed when it is an anti particle?
Charge
