Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the radiation emitted by electrons moving in circular motion, specifically questioning the concept of a "circadian electron" and how elementary particles emit radiation. The scope includes theoretical aspects of particle physics and the properties of elementary particles.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the type of radiation emitted by an electron in circular motion.
  • Another participant questions the definition of a "circadian electron," suggesting it may not relate to circular motion.
  • A suggestion is made that "synchrotron radiation" could be the relevant type of radiation emitted by such electrons.
  • It is noted that electrons in circular accelerators typically emit radiation in the x-ray range.
  • A participant raises further questions about the properties of elementary particles, such as mass, electric charge, and magnetic moment, and whether these should be represented as sub-particles.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express uncertainty about the term "circadian electron," with some suggesting it does not imply circular motion. There is no consensus on the definition or implications of the term, and the discussion remains unresolved regarding the nature of radiation emitted by elementary particles.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations in the definitions and assumptions regarding "circadian electron" and the properties of elementary particles, which remain unclear and unresolved in the discussion.

Which radiation emitted by an electron that moves in a circular motion ?

And how radiation can be emitted by an elementary particle?

An electron that moves in a circular motion .

If you mean electrons in a circular accelerator, they emit radiadiation in the x-ray range, usually.

Circadian does not mean "in circular motion".
 
Thanks for the 2 answers .
How radiation can be emitted by an elementary particle?
And more generally how an elementary particle like electron have
mass , electric charge ,magnetic moment and more ?
Is each of these features should not be represented as a sub-particle
?
