Lifetime fundamental particles

We may now recall the fundamental equations for calculating chemical conversion in the limiting states of Min Mix and Max Mix. The BPT model provides a convenient picture of the two situations (figure 3). If the bundle is arranged in such a way that the particles of same residual lifetime are situated on the same vertical line, then minimal mixedness corresponds to a perfect insulation between tubes and the conversion for a single reaction is written... 

Abstract. CPT invariance is a fundamental property of quantum field theories in flat space-time. Principal consequences include the predictions that particles and their antiparticles have equal masses and lifetimes, and equal and opposite electric charges and magnetic moments. It also follows that the fine structure, hyperfine structure, and Lamb shifts of matter and antimatter bound systems should be identical. 

Tnpi/m) (1/m). Such a long lifetime should find reason in the existence of an (approximate) symmetry. From this viewpoint, cosmology is sensitive to the most fundamental properties of microworld, to the conservation laws reflecting strict or nearly strict symmetries of particle theory. 

Despite its importance of principle, one should not overstate the role of chaos in the spectroscopy of highly excited atoms although favourable circumstances can arise, they are rare. There are two fundamental reasons for this. The first is the Pauli principle as noted in chapter 1, the shell structure of atoms restores spherical symmetry to the many-electron atom at each new row of the periodic table, and spherical symmetry, which helps the independent particle model, inhibits chaos. Secondly, as the excitation energy is increased, autoionisation and the Auger effect also become obstacles to the emergence of chaos, because the lifetimes are so short that instabilities in the underlying classical dynamics do not have time to develop. 

The fundamental interactions. In column 3, r is the distance from the source and R is the range of interaction. In column 4 the mean lifetime of a particle that decays due to the interaction specified is presented in parentheses. The last column gives the rest masses of the mediating bosons... 

In practice we show in this paper that the actual mechanism is much more complex but that the scaling conserves unaltered the most fundamental properties of the neutron emission and, therefore, of the energy distribution of the reacting particles, while particle content and lifetime increase with energy level, proving that a true scaling occurs.
