Particle Interactions

Particle Interactions

1. Weak Nuclear Force

   • Exchange Particle
     • W Boson
   • Acts Between
     • Every Particle
   • Beta Decay
   • Electron Capture
   • Changes Quarks

2. Strong Nuclear Force

   • Exchange Particle
     • Gluon
   • Acts Between
     • Hadrons
       • Quarks
       • Feels the strong force
     • Nucleons
   • Always conserves strangeness

3. Electromagnetic Force

   • Exchange particle
     • Photon
   • Acts Between
     • Charged particles
       • Hadrons
       • Lepton
   • Doesn't change quarks

4. Particles And Antiparticles

   • Annhialation
     • particle and antiparticle meet to create two photons
   • Pair Production
     • photon creates particle and antiparticle
