If the Higgs boson is discovered and found to have mass, will it be considered the ultimate carrier of the weak force? Explain your response.
The strong interaction must interact within the time it takes a high-energy nucleon to cross the nucleus. Use an appropriate speed and distance to estimate the time for the strong interaction to occur.
Which ones of the following are properties of charged and neutral weak interactions? They are transmitted by vector bosons which can interact among themselves. They are transmitted by heavy vector bosons. They do not conserve the combined symmetry CP. They always conserve parity. They do not always conserve flavor.
