Is charge conserved in the remains of the collision?
LitleBang said:Can you clarify that just a little bit, like what permanently existing particles with charge remain after the destruction of the protons?
kaksmet said:I believe the charged particles that make it to the detector is almost exclusively electron, positron, muon, anti-muon and pions.
LitleBang said:So we start with two +e's and this gets broken into partial charges that wind up after all is said and done with two +e's. Can you show exactly how this happens?
LitleBang said:Van you waltz into this post and claim that charge is conserved without any proof, but I should take your word for it because heaven forbid we have laws that say it is.
A proton-proton collision at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) is a high-energy collision between two protons, which are particles found in the nucleus of atoms. The LHC is a particle accelerator located at CERN in Switzerland, and it is used to study the fundamental building blocks of the universe by recreating the conditions that existed in the early universe.
The purpose of studying proton-proton collisions at the LHC is to gain a better understanding of the fundamental particles and forces that make up our universe. By studying these collisions, scientists hope to uncover new particles and phenomena that could help us understand the origins of the universe and the nature of matter.
Proton-proton collisions are created at the LHC by accelerating protons to extremely high energies using powerful magnets. The protons are then steered into a circular path and made to collide with each other at specific points along the LHC's 27-kilometer-long ring.
Data collected from proton-proton collisions at the LHC includes information about the particles produced in the collision, such as their energy, mass, and momentum. This data is then analyzed by scientists to understand the underlying physics of the collision and to search for new particles or phenomena.
Studying proton-proton collisions at the LHC has many potential applications and implications, including advancing our understanding of the universe, improving medical imaging technology, and potentially leading to new technologies and innovations. It could also help us answer some of the biggest questions in physics, such as the nature of dark matter and the existence of extra dimensions.
