Tau Particle

Tau



Tau is the elementary particle of lepton family which mass is heavier than that of electron and muon because it is in third generation of lepton family. Being so massive, the tau is unstable.

 Like the electron and muon, the tau is electrically charged member, the tau is negatively charged, while its antiparticle is positively charged. It decays via weak force into other particles.

Introduction to #Particle_Physics #Physik_World

What is Particle Physics ? You see everywhere there is patterns in the universe but if you travel inside it; you will see small particles rather than big things i.e. universe itself. So, the branch of physics that deals with the small fundamental particles is called particle physics. Particle physics studies the sub-atomic particles inside an atom. Fundamental particles means not regarded as made up of other particles like electron. But what about proton and neutron ?  Proton and neutron are elementary particles. Elementary particles means which can be sub-divided into other particles. All matter around us is made of elementary particles, the building block of matter. These particles occur in two basic types called quarks and leptons.

What are Hardons in Particle Physics #Physik_World

Image
Hardons Hardons are the composite particle; means particles that are made of more than one quark. Hardons are sub-divided into two types of particles called Baryons and Mesons.  Baryons: Proton and Neutron are known as baryons; means that they are made of exactly three quarks . Baryons are in the family of Hardons, which means that they are made of quark. NOTE: Composite Fermions(especially 3 quarks) in which case they are called baryons. Baryons are called composite fermions because it follows Pauli exclusion principle (half-integer spin). Mesons: The only other subcategory of Hardons is Mesons, which are made of one quark and one antiquark. NOTE: Composite bosons(especially 2 quarks) in which case they are called meson. Mesons are called composite bosons because it doesn't follow Pauli exclusion principle.(Thus have integer spin and called composite bosons).

Quantum Decoherence

Quantum Decoherence Loss of coherence is called quantum decoherence. When wave function is linked to the outer environment or what i called wave function collapse or observer effect the nature of that system is changed. This phenomenon is known as quantum decoherence.  In quantum computer coherence should be maintain for calculations if not then there may come error.
