Introduction to the Weak Interaction
from Professor Dave Explains Hosted by Professor Dave Explains
After discussing how QED governs the electromagnetic force, and QCD governs the strong nuclear force, we are ready to move on to the weak nuclear force, or the weak interaction. This is mediated by W and Z bosons, and is responsible for processes like beta decay and nuclear fusion. Let's see how this phenomenon is explained by the Standard Model.Script by Andrew Mattson, Physics PhD Student at Johns Hopkins UniversityWatch the whole Modern Physics playlist: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics2Classical Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics1Mathematics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveMathsGeneral Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveGenChemOrganic Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveOrgChemBiochemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBiochemBiology Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBioEMAIL► [email protected]► http://patreon.com/ProfessorDaveExplainsCheck out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HtNpVHBookshop: https://bit.ly/39cKADMBarnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3pUjmrn
