Questions related to Elementary Particle Physics
Suppose a suitable energy is given to an electron in a shell, it will absorb energy and it jumps to the next orbit. Since it was highly unstable there, it will emit the energy as em radiation and...

Hi all, I wanted a detailed explanation of why Rho meson is so very important in marking a Gamma gamma event.Or it would be great if someone could suggest me some papers related to this topic.

It is well known, that the Standard Model has become one of the most successful physical theories so far. But the search for better theories is still going in, which is coined as Beyond Standard...

We know that the Unified Field Theory is an elusive dream for theoretical physics. However, there were many proposals of UFT in the past. One interesting proposal is by M.J. Goodband, which he...

For a massless gluon case, pure QCD field strength is not gauge invariant because of self-interaction of gluons. But the pure QCD Lagrangian gives us gauge invariance and at the same time, gauge...

Theoretically, can neutrinos interact, also weakly, with gamma rays? I know that neutrino has no charge but has mass and spin; perhaps there is another type of interaction. For example, if a...

It is known that hadrons can be divided in baryons (fermions of three quarks) and mesons (bosons of two quarks). The sum of their electric charge is always an integer number, e.g. the proton is...

To formulate equations that can better describe the Feynman rules, we rewrite the Lagrangian that describes a particular field equation by choosing an arbitrary ground state of the vacuum. By...

In Newtonian notion force between to masses m1 and m2 separated by a distance d is simply G m1 m2/d^2. This is an example of a theory which accepts action at a distance. A second example is...

Recently I met a term "nuclear matter" in some science fiction discussion. It is considered that macroscopic artificial things can be made of such a matter (not of just atoms), like, say, an armor...

In a paper I saw that the spin-averaged mass (M_sa) related to the masses of vector (M_v) and pseudoscalar (M_p) mesons, and the relation is: M_sa=(M_p+3M_v)/4 I want to know what spin-average...
