From Quanta to Quarks
نویسنده
چکیده
This workshop will cover the theory and practical work required for the new Elective unit, Quanta to Quarks. The structure of this paper will follow the headings and outline as set out in the syllabus. This paper will give some background information on areas of physics that are new to the HSC Syllabus. Some aspects of this unit which should be familiar to Physics teachers will not be covered, specifically the parts of this unit which were in the old “Nuclear Physics” Unit will not be treated.

Indirect Searches for Very Heavy Quarks*
Detailed studies of weak decays can reveal the presence of very massive quanta like heavy top quarks or fourth family quarks. The decay K+ --) ?~+vP and Bd Ba mixing are particularly promising fields for such searches. We infer a rather conservative lower limit of 70 GeV on the top mass from recent ARGUS data on Bd Bd mixing; near-maximal B, Bd mixing is another consequence. If on the other han...
متن کاملA simple solution to color confinement
We show that color confinement is a direct result of the nonabelian, i.e. nonlinear, nature of the color interaction in quantum chromodynamics. This makes it in general impossible to describe the color field as a collection of elementary quanta (gluons). A quark cannot be an elementary quanta of the quark field, as the color field of which it is the source is itself a source hence making isolat...
متن کاملInteger-quaternion formulation of Lambek’s representation of fundamental particles and their interactions
Lambek’s unified classification of the elementary interaction-quanta of the “Standard model” is formulated in terms of the 24 units of the integerquaternion ring, i.e., the tetrahedral group Q24. An extension of Lambek’s scheme to the octahedral group Q48 may enable to take all three generations of leptons and quarks into account, as well as to provide a quantitative explanation for flavor-mixi...
متن کاملCompactification with Flux and Yukawa Hierarchies
Flux compactifications of M theory on certain G 2-manifolds have vacua in which all moduli are determined. These vacua have discrete parameters-the flux quanta. Small changes in these quanta produce small changes in the moduli and these can lead to large changes in the Yukawa couplings between Higgses, quarks and leptons. We argue that a large number of vacua exist with a wide variety of Yukawa...
متن کاملA simple explanation of the non-appearance of physical gluons and quarks
We show that the non-appearance of gluons and quarks as physical particles is a rigorous and automatic result of the full, i.e. nonperturbative, nonabelian nature of the color interaction in quantum chromodynamics. This makes it in general impossible to describe the color field as a collection of elementary quanta (gluons). Neither can a quark be an elementary quantum of the quark field, as the...
