How was the charge of up/down quarks determined?
Do you mean historically at first ?nuby said:How was the charge of up/down quarks determined?
DIS does require a lot of analysis to extract all the distributions together from global fits of all available observables.pam said:You don't think a lot of theoretical analysis goes into DIS, which only looks at sums of parton charges squared anyway?
Up/Down Quarks are subatomic particles that make up protons and neutrons, which are found in the nucleus of an atom.
The charge of Up/Down Quarks was determined through experiments that observed the behavior of particles in high-energy collisions. The results showed that the charge of Up Quarks is +2/3 and the charge of Down Quarks is -1/3.
Up/Down Quarks are essential building blocks of matter. Protons are made up of two Up Quarks and one Down Quark, while neutrons are made up of one Up Quark and two Down Quarks.
No, Up/Down Quarks cannot exist independently. They are always found in combinations of two or three within protons and neutrons.
Up/Down Quarks interact with other particles through the strong nuclear force, which is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. This force holds the nucleus of an atom together by binding the quarks and gluons within protons and neutrons.
