A proton can capture an electron and turn into a neutron provided the electron has a kinetic energy of 0.782 MeV or more.An element of the Periodic Table can change into another on being exposed to such high energy electrons.
The proton radius puzzle, the discrepancy between the proton radius measured in muonic hydrogen and electronic hydrogen, has yet to be resolved. There are suggestions that beyond the standard model (BSM) physics could resolve both this…
When a particle is in high speed or bound in the Coulomb potential of point nucleus, the variation of its mass can be ascribed to the variation of relative ratio of hiding antimatter to matter in the particle. At two limiting cases, the…
