00:28:44 Saheed Oyeniran: Hello everyone. My name is Saheeed A. Oyeniran. A graduate student of ICTP-EAIFR, High Energy Physics Unit 00:54:32 Saheed Oyeniran: Because of the strong force 00:54:37 Nkeiru Ubadike: It raises the energy 01:05:03 Saheed Oyeniran: Is(are) there really difference(s) between the two terms *Hadronization of Quarks* and *Confinement of Quarks* you've used , please ? 01:07:29 Mary Bishai: Hi Saheed, I will ask your question after this section of the talk. 01:23:58 Saheed Oyeniran: we see neutron decaying to proton (evident from the example you gave earlier), is the reverse possible ? If not, what's responsible for that, please ? 01:24:31 Saheed Oyeniran: Between the time when Higgs was theorized and when it was discovered, were the SM particles taken to be massive or massless, please ? 01:25:51 Mary Bishai: The proton mass is slightly less than the neutron so the law of conservation of mass and energy means that the proton cannot decay to a neutron, but the proton is predicted to decay in the Standard Model but with a very very long lifetime - almost the age of the Universe. 01:26:35 Saheed Oyeniran: Many thanks 01:32:29 Saheed Oyeniran: kindly read them, please 01:39:44 Saheed Oyeniran: Any explanation as to why Photon is massless, please ? 01:40:35 Nkeiru Ubadike: Could we look at the "Significance of muon" graph again? 01:42:09 Saheed Oyeniran: answer gotten already. thanks 01:43:17 Mary Bishai: Nkeiru - can you unmute and ask your question yourself or do you want me to read it out? 01:43:36 Nkeiru Ubadike: I can unmute! 01:46:50 QuarkNet Notre Dame: Need to go. Thanks for the talk!! 01:48:59 Nkeiru Ubadike: Sorry was muted. Thank you for explaining that! 01:49:20 Mary Bishai: Hooman has to leave in 5 minutes, but I and we have other scientists from BNL are on the zoom and we can continue for some more discussion if needed. 02:08:22 Mary Bishai: mbishai@bnl.gov 02:09:14 Joyful Mdhluli: thank you for this. I look forward to the rest of the lectures :) 02:10:10 padams: Thank you!
