... implies attractive forces between like particles — and neutrons and protons are like in the sense that the quality ‘up’ or ‘down’ is a weak quality — mesons are not mass-less which implies that the forces between nucleons is of short range. The π-meson has a rest mass m0 = 0.15 mp , this gives a Com ...

Exercise 1
... Visually, just before and just after E, the tracks seem to be more or less equally curved – thus having the same momentum. Since the track of the positron appears to have stopped at the point of collision, all of its momentum must have been transferred to the electron. Therefore the linear momentum ...

Compact Muon Solenoid
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment is one of two large general-purpose particle physics detectors built on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland and France. The goal of CMS experiment is to investigate a wide range of physics, including the search for the Higgs boson, extra dimensions, and particles that could make up dark matter.CMS is 21.6 metres long, 15 metres in diameter, and weighs about 14,000 tonnes. Approximately 3,800 people, representing 199 scientific institutes and 43 countries, form the CMS collaboration who built and now operate the detector. It is located in an underground cavern at Cessy in France, just across the border from Geneva. In July 2012, along with ATLAS, CMS tentatively discovered the Higgs Boson.
