How does Particle Physics relate to any subject studied in Chemistry (including Nuclear physics)?
Q. Doing a ppt presentation. 40% of the ppt must relate to Chemistry. How do I do that if im doing something on particle physics?!! A quick answer would be nice!
Asked by R.Fedex - Sun May 31 21:07:43 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Atoms are pieces of the thing Chemists love. Physicists admire the internal junk. The valence is how Chem students observe the quantum nature. Particle physics is related by the "touching" of atoms.

What do you study in particle physics and astrophysics?
Q. i am trying to pick a major and i was wondering what kinds of things you study if you are an astrophysicist or particle physicist. also, do black holes and gravity fall into those categories?
Asked by dillan - Tue Dec 30 19:06:52 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Yes, you can study black holes and gravity if you go into those fields. I would major Physics with a minor in Applied Mathematics if you want to be a Particle Physicist. Realize that there are hardly any positions in the field though, and only geniuses get them. For Astrophysics you need to major in Physics with a minor in Astronomy. This is a more open job than Particle Physics. In Astrophysics many people are studying Universal acceleration, dark energy, and dark matter. Black hole physics isn't very big though. In Particle Physics many people are researching Big Bang Cosmology, Quantum Gravity, and extensions of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Almost all Particle Physics now is empirical now, so maybe a minor in… [cont.]

A. Particle physics is a branch of physics, quantum physics is a subject in physics. Particle physics is the study of sub-atomic particles. It studies things like quarks and gluons and other things that make up atoms. Quantum physics is the physics of anything that behaves quantum mechanically. The things studied in particle physics often behave quantum-mechanically, so particle physicists use a lot of quantum physics.

A. They're not quite all at the molecular level. Just a quick review: molecules, if you remember, are made up of atoms, and atoms are made up of a nucleus and electrons. Chemistry is the study of the interactions between atoms and molecules. Atomic physics is the study of interactions within the atom involving the electrons around the nucleus. In particular, it is the study of how the electrons in the atom interact with each other and with electromagnetic radiation. Particle physics is the study of the interactions between the most fundamental particles that make up the nucleus of the atom (in addition to electrons, which are themselves elementary).

If the Higgs Boson is never discovered, what implications does this have for particle physics?
Q. Seems like it would make preons a possibility.
Asked by Clam Crunchy - Fri Aug 14 17:37:33 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The three-family, twelve particle Standard Model for mass (fermions) seems a bit complex. The hope is that the Higgs Boson would simplify the twelve part model of mass. If that boson is not uncovered, the Standard Model cannot be replaced with something unified and, therefore, simpler. And... if the Higgs Boson is not found, that will also be a detraction from string theory, which predicts the boson... along with the graviton, which also has yet to be discovered.

A. You need to study physics obviously and specialize in particle physics, going up to PhD level. In Western Europe typical starting salaries would be of the order of 18-20 kEuro, maxing out to 60 kEuro at the end of a career. A PhD student gets about 10-12 kEuro. I suppose it's more in the US, but so is the cost of living.

A. The negatively charged electron is not a member of the quark family it is a member of the lepton family. Similarly, the positron is a positively charged 'electron' and it too is a member of the lepton family. Both these particles are elementary particles in their own right and therefore have no sub-content such as quarks! A neutron has the following quark composition: - 1 up quark, 2 down quarks A proton has the following quark composition: - 2 up quarks, 1 down quark A anti-proton has the following quark composition: - 2 up antiquarks, 1 down antiquark
