C/C++ New particle Xicc++ -- properties

AI Thread Summary
The new particle detected at the LHC has a +2 elementary charge, leading to its designation as "++," while its antiparticle carries a -2 charge. Theoretically, the positively charged particle could capture two electrons, resembling a helium atom temporarily, but this would not enable chemical reactions. Additionally, it could be involved in a nucleus, increasing the overall charge by +2. However, in practical scenarios, there are currently no available electrons for the particle to capture.

I was wondering what kind of properties the new particle detected from the LHC would have? For example is the particle charged? Could an electron orbit it and is it a stable enough particle to be able to participate in chemical interactions? What else is known?

It is charged, it has +2 elementary charge, that's where the "++" name part comes from. -2 elementary charge for its antiparticle (LHCb studied both together).

In theory the positively charged one could capture two electrons and behave similar to a helium atom for a very short time, which means no chemical reactions. It could also be part of a nucleus and increase its charge by +2.
In practice we don't have electrons around it could capture.
 

Thread 'Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86'

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...

Thread 'Learning data structures and algorithms in different programming languages'

I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
