Lepton Definition and 61 Threads

lepton beta decay when m near m_W? Has anybody seen somewhere, article or textbook or website, the calculation of beta decay of a charged lepton in the generic case, when mass is neither a lot smaller nor a lot greater than the mass of the W? It should be some result interpolating between the...

Homework Statement "Discuss the evidence for the law of conservation of lepton generation number. What is the evidence that neutrinos of different generations are distinct?" [8 marks] Homework Equations N/A The Attempt at a Solution I understand the concept of lepton generation...

Hi, i'm stuck on my homework.. and this particle physics and cosmology chapter is killing me a question asks me to discuss the following conservation laws: energy, linear momentum, angular momentum, electric charge (ok so far) AND bayron number, lepton number and strangeness. are all of...

I understand the difference between the two main Neutron decays but, is there an observable difference when an electron collides with a neutron compared to a positron colliding with a neutron? In particular, I need to know if there is a difference in the behaviour of the neutron.

Plus c and h, of course. The idea is to collect here in only a thread all the approximations voiced out during the summer. Surely this is to be quarantinised in TheoryDev, but it is interesting enough to be kept open as a thread (if closed, please be free to use my...

I found the following (for what it’s worth): ln(mu/me) / (2pi-3/pi) = 1.000627 ln(mt/me) / (3pi-4/pi) = 1.00031 me = 0.51099892 MeV (+/-0.00000004) mu = 105.658369 MeV (+/-0.000009) mt = 1776.99000 MeV (+0.29 -0.26) I've not seen it before. There's no theory behind it. I...

On the bottom of http://elasticity2.tripod.com/ I have added two supplements that explain the relationship between e neutrino, electron, positron and u quark. This is up for discussion in Theory development :Vacuum theory; mass and charge

Has the value of the Magnetic Momentic of the Tauon been determined experimentally in Units of Joules/Tesla? I have seen these values for the Electron and Muon. Thanks.

heres another theory of mine: i believe there are invisble clouds sort of like black matter and black holes rolled into 1.i believe this is wat threw plutos orbit off. these clouds have a superposition of states in time rather than the physical universe. as it travels through time it will hit a...
