Deflection tube – to measure e/m An electron gun creates a beam of moving electrons which pass through a region of crossed electric & magnetic fields The is force acts in the opposite direction to the lines of the electric field (already knowing the particles are negative)# The direction of Continue Reading

There are six flavours: Up, Down, Charm, Strange, Top & Bottom:
In every reaction & interaction between particles – the values are conserved by the exchanges of bosons. Energy (which includes mass) and momentum are shown to be conserved using relativistic equations. The three quantum numbers charged, baryon number and lepton number are conserved. However strangeness is not always conserved… Little Continue Reading
