Cosmic absorption of high energy particles
... for UHE photons the contribution of CMB photons gives the absolute upper limit on the mean free path. At high redshift, where other radiation backgrounds, such as EBL are absent, the CMB radiation limits the propagation of UHE photons at energies above GeV. for UHE protons the mean free path due to ...

In fact the dominant coupling arises through an indirect process, “gluon fusion,” that I discovered in 1976. It is displayed in Figure 3a. Gluons don’t couple to the H ...

... Quarks are spin-1/2 particles that come in six flavors: up(u) , down(d), charm (c) , strange(s), top(t), and bottom(b). The u, c, and t quarks have a charge of +2e/3 and the d, s, and b quarks have a charge of -e/3. Reversing the sign of the charge we get ,the charge of the corresponding anti-quark. ...
