    "What is the God particle?" Answer: The "God particle" is the nickname of a subatomic particle called the Higgs boson. In layman’s terms‚ different subatomic particles are responsible for giving matter different properties. One of the most mysterious and important properties is mass. Some particles‚ like protons and neutrons‚ have mass. Others‚ like photons‚ do not. The Higgs boson‚ or “God particle‚” is believed to be the particle which gives mass to matter. The “God particle” nickname grew out

    The Higgs boson is popularly referred to as "the God particle‚" perhaps because of its role in giving other particles their mass. However‚ it’s not the boson itself that gives mass. Back in 1964‚ Peter Higgs proposed a theory that described a universal field (similar to an electric or a magnetic field) that particles interacted with. Don Lincoln‚ a physicist at Fermilab in Illinois‚ explained to ABC News‚ "It’s the Higgs field that gives particles their mass." The boson itself is more like evidence

    3.09 Particle Accelerator & Fundamental Forces 1. Answer the following: a. Describe the structure of the Large Hadron Collider and what it does. The Large Hadron Collider is a 27km long ring-shaped tunnel that is made mostly of superconducting magnets that sit 100m underground. The Large Hadron Collider accelerates particles. There are two beams of particles involved in the process called ‘hadrons.’ They will be sent speeding around the ring traveling at just about the speed of

    What are particle accelerators used for? A particle accelerator is a device that uses electric fields to propel electrically charged particles in a vacuum‚ which approach the speed of light‚ towards each other and collide. The result hopefully being that the kinetic energy in the particles and other energy converted into subatomic particles or various types of nuclear radiation. There is more than one type of particle accelerator; they come in two basic types: • Linear • Circular Linear

    Neutrino What is neutrino ? A neutrino is an electrically neutral‚ weakly interacting elementary subatomic particle with a half-integer spin‚ chirality and a disputed but small non-zero mass. It is able to pass through ordinary matter almost unaffected. The neutrino (meaning "small neutral one") is denoted by the Greek letter ν (nu). Neutrinos are similar to the more familiar electron‚ with one crucial difference: neutrinos do not carry electric charge‚ which means that they are not affected by

    Isotopes‚ sub-atomic particles and relative atomic mass Sub-atomic particles A subatomic particle is a particle smaller than an atom: it may be elementary or composite. In 1905‚ Albert Einstein demonstrated the physical reality of the photons‚ hypothesized by Max Planck in 1900‚ in order to solve the problem of black body radiation in thermodynamics. In 1874‚ G. Johnstone Stoney postulated a minimum unit of electrical charge‚ for which he suggested the name electron in 1891. In 1897‚ J. J. Thomson confirmed

    purpose. Scientists believe that a fraction of a second after the Big Bang that gave birth to the universe‚ an invisible energy field called the Higgs field formed. This has been described as a kind of ‘cosmic treacle’ across the universe. As particles passed through it‚ they picked up mass‚ giving them size and shape and allowing them to form the atoms that make up you‚ everything around you and everything in the universe. God is different from all nature and humanity and everything that exists
