Dear arivero. Thanks for all the help. In the far future I'd like to eventually be able to ask the question about whether we could construct a material that increases SNU. Or if not an increase in SNU, a scattering spectrum of solar neutrinos would be just as good. If scattering is possible...

humanino, thank you for your responses. I have a few additional questions in regards to what you said above. I am very fuzzy on this conceptual distinction you are making between a so-called "virtual exchange of a W" versus a "real Z". I understand these particles have masses near 100...

Thank you for responding. I was under the impression that particle/antiparticle collisions are a complete annihilation of both particles including their rest masses. e+ + e- --> Z0 + ?? The electrons emitted by this kind of radiation are themselves the products of the decay of a...

So I heard a little rumor that Beta decays in certain isotopes release an electron at "ultrarelativistic" speeds. I also heard a rumor that Z bosons can be created temporarily by a positron annihilating an electron when the two collide. [FONT="Fixedsys"]My question is, can one place two...
