Sentences with phrase «kaon decays»

The main aim of the NA62 experiment is to study rare kaon decays and to pin down possible effects of physics beyond the Standard Model that appear in short distance interactions involving quarks.

Specifically, NA62 will measure the rate at which the charged kaon decays into a charged pion and a neutrino - antineutrino pair.

Further detectors inside the tank look for decay particles: a magnetic spectrometer measures the momentum of charged tracks from kaon decays, a ring imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector tells the team the nature of decay particles, and electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters measure their energy.

Not exact matches

Existing experiments have already spotted a similar feature in the decay of another exotic particle called the kaon, and in certain kinds of B meson.

But first they had to figure out how to accurately measure the short - lived paths of the B meson particles, which decay after traveling on average about one - thousandth of an inch (by contrast, the kaons studied by Fitch and Cronin traveled more than 100 feet).

If the universe didn't play favorites, kaons and antikaons should have decayed at exactly the same rate, into exactly the same types of particles.

Kaons are short - lived and quickly decay into a spray of other particles.

Specifically, they looked for a telltale distribution of «daughter» particles, including other baryons as well as kaons and pions — exotic particles produced by the decay of short - lived Xi - cc + + particles.

This is the case for the decay of a positively charged particle known as a kaon into another positively charged particle called...
