Dear all,
how to 100% know if a process is allowed in standard model?
And when a process is allowed, how to know what diagrams contribute, and what of those are the dominant ones?
Thank you in advance.
It is touted that modern physics has discovered what is actually responsible for force which are particles. Yet, the force responsible for EM is "virtual" particles and then you have the "W" particle in Electroweak. So it seems the issue is not all that clear. I know how the math works, but I am...

The standard free energy of activation of a reaction A is 83.7 kJ/mol at 298K. Reaction B is 10 million times faster at the same temperature. The products of each reaction are 10 kJ/mol more stable than the reactants.

I initially used the multiplication error propagation formula. So the average force would be the impulse divided by the time, the same thing as the impulse...
What's the simplest, most direct way to derive the lagrangian of the SM?
I saw earlier today:
L[S M] = L[Dirac] + L[mass] + L[Gauge] + L[Gauge/psi]
That seems like a good starting point. I like it because it says the SM Lagrangian is simply the sum of four lagrangians. The next step...

Type Ia Supernova are generally thought to be white dwarfs that, either by accretion of mass from a companion (single degenerate), or as a result of a merger with a white dwarf companion (double degenerate), approach and then exceed 99% of the Chandrasekhar limit of about 1.44 M☉, at which point...
My book denotes by σ:Δk→X for some suitable topological space X a standard k-simplex of X. It then describes the free abelian group generated by such σ's as the group of k-chains on X. It is not clear to me what is meant by a chain for a map σ. I understand a chain in Rn to be sums of integer...
The question asks to solve for delta S surroundings at 298K when 2.49 moles of H2S (g) react.
reaction:
2H2S (g) + 3O2 (g)= 2H2O (g) + 2SO2 (g)
My problem is that I don't know how to calculate delta S surroundings. So to solve the problem I'm making the assumption that -Delta S surroundings =...

I read in a magazine (namely Scientific American) that the Standard Model successfully combines Quantum Mechanics with General Relativity, but I also remember reading in The Elegant Universe that the Standard Model fails to do so. What's true and what's not?

Hi, I've read on the cern website that the standard model does not predict that matter inherently has mass, if this is the case how does the model predict particle masses and also why doesn't it predict that matter inherently has mass? Thanks.

I was thinking about this and either I have a misunderstanding of black holes or they are simply not how the standard model proposes them to be.

Say if I have a sample space 2,3, and 5. I want to find by what percent points deviate from the mean. So I would take the standard deviation as follows.
2+3+5 / 3 = 3.33
(2-3.33)^2 + (3-3.33)^2 + (5-3.33)^2 / 3 = 1.55
(1.55)^(1/2) = 0.775
So we get a standard deviation of 0.775. So how do I...

Why is it such a big deal? According to the "modern" (Wilsonian) viewpoint, non-renormalizability is not such a "sickness" of a quantum field theory, as long as one adopts the viewpoint that the theory is not UV complete, aka, the theory is simply an effective field theory with a finite cut-off...
