Is spin of electron taken into account when people accelerate electron in LHC?
Spin is an intrinsic property of subatomic particles, such as electrons, protons, and neutrons. It is not an actual physical spinning motion, but rather a quantum mechanical property that describes the angular momentum of these particles.
Yes, charges have spin outside of an atom. This applies to all subatomic particles with a non-zero charge, including electrons, protons, and other elementary particles.
Spin is measured in units of angular momentum, specifically in multiples of Planck's constant divided by 2π. This unit is known as a spin quantum number.
Spin plays a crucial role in determining the behavior and properties of subatomic particles. It affects their magnetic properties, how they interact with each other, and their overall stability.
Yes, the spin of a charge can change through interactions with other particles or through external forces. However, the total amount of spin in a closed system remains constant, in accordance with the law of conservation of angular momentum.
