Subatomic cyclone experiment idea

[Tesladawg]

I came up with this idea for an experiment involving subatomic particles. I wanted to create a sort of "hurricane" with protons and neutrons. The neutrons would be stationary in the center (i guess you could call it the eye due to the lack of electrical charge) with the protons revolving around the neutrons. I was wondering what the result of this would be?

If you place protons (ionized hydrogen atoms) in a strong (vertical) magnetic field, and apply an RF electric field in the horizontal plane (read about cyclotrons and understand equations), the protons will go around in larger and larger circles (acceleration). There will not be any neutrons (they are radioactive) unless you inject them, and even at room temperature, their rms velocity is about 2200 meters per second (derive it). What do you expect will happen and why?

This is an interesting and creative idea for an experiment involving subatomic particles. The concept of a "hurricane" with protons and neutrons is intriguing and could potentially yield valuable insights into the behavior of these particles.

However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind when designing this experiment. First, it is important to carefully control the movement and positioning of the particles to accurately simulate a cyclone-like structure. This may require advanced equipment and techniques to manipulate individual particles.

Additionally, the strength of the forces between protons and neutrons may affect the stability and longevity of this structure. It is possible that the particles may collide or break apart, leading to unpredictable results.

Overall, this experiment has the potential to provide valuable information about the interactions and behavior of subatomic particles. Further research and experimentation would be needed to fully understand the possible outcomes and implications of this concept.
