What happens when you collide protons with electrons in a super collider?

[jaydnul]

Does it just burst into vast amounts of energy? Or what about colliding two electrons together. higgs boson?

 

[Simon Bridge]

generally:
p+e -> n + energy. (if they don't scatter)

But see:
http://www.desy.de/f/hera/engl/chap2.html
... at very high energies the electron can interact at the quark level and you get mesons etc.
You learn a lot about the structure of the proton... so it is a decent question.electrons just scatter off each other
e+e -> e+e
... no evidence of internal structure to the electron, if that is what you are thinking.
But see:
http://prd.aps.org/abstract/PRD/v48/i9/p4467_1
... so there is still interesting physics to see.

At very high energy the particles collide and the energy of the collision is used to create other particles. By the way there is no such thing as "pure energy". The closest thing would be light, which has no mass, but is still considered to be a particle and possesses momentum.

higgs boson?

We cannot collide higgs bosons together at this time. They don't live long enough before decaying. They are also uncharged, so we couldn't accelerate them even if we could get around the lifetime problem.

 

[Khashishi]

The result of any particular impact is randomly chosen among all possible reactions, so you can get all sorts of energetic particles if you use enough energy.

When protons and electrons are collided in a super collider, they do not simply burst into vast amounts of energy. Instead, the collision causes a complex interaction between the particles, resulting in the production of new particles and potentially revealing new insights about the fundamental building blocks of the universe.

When two protons collide, they can create a cascade of interactions that can produce a variety of particles, including Higgs bosons. The Higgs boson is a key element in the Standard Model of particle physics, which describes the fundamental forces and particles in the universe. Its discovery in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was a significant milestone in our understanding of the universe.

Similarly, when two electrons collide, they can also produce a variety of particles, including the Higgs boson. However, because electrons are much lighter than protons, their collisions may not generate as much energy as proton collisions. This is why the LHC, which collides protons, is able to reach higher energies than other colliders that use electrons, such as the Large Electron-Positron Collider (LEP).

Overall, colliding protons with electrons or two electrons together in a super collider can provide valuable insights into the fundamental nature of matter and energy. It allows scientists to study the behavior of particles at extremely high energies, which can help us understand the origins of the universe and potentially discover new particles or phenomena.
