But with the GEN-2, it’s almost a case of what you  don't get - like ABS for example. In spite of almost every other car company in the world recognising that ABS is a basic element of road safety, in the GEN-2 it’s standard only on the top-of-the-range GSX model. Yet airbags, including side ones, are a standard feature. For the life of me I can’t fathom the thinking here. Surely the ability to stop in a straight line is far more important than reducing the impact of not being able to? It sounds like a clear case of dealing with the symptoms rather than tackling the cause of the complaint. The lack of ABS sums up the almost cynical approach Proton has taken to the international car market. They’ve gone for window dressing rather than unseen yet what the rest of us would consider essentials for, not least, our safety. Let me explain. Compared to what Proton have offered us before, the car looks quite good, but then that’s not really saying much. It has style, something which the Far Eastern companies have always found difficult to get to grips with. It looks quite good, even if the £9595 GLS test car I had was an all-too-vivid bright Angel Blue. The back end particularly works well, conjuring up images of BMW’s Chris Bangle’s latest creations in, for example, the new 1 Series - and the front end also does the job on the superficial looks. But examine the car closely and it all feels a bit cheap and not really thought through. I got really annoyed for example with the lack of a boot release button either on the lid itself or on the key fob. If you want to open the boot, you have to pull the lever which is on the floor on the right hand side of the driver’s seat. On almost every occasion I wanted to get into the rear loadspace, I had to go back into the car to find the release button, usually when I already had my hands full. Once you step inside, things get even worse. The whole feel of the interior is decidedly cheap and thrown together . . . and will probably fall apart just as quickly. More . . .

From the link: The baryon number is nearly conserved in all the interactions of the Standard Model. 'Conserved' means that the sum of the baryon number of all incoming particles is the same as the sum of the baryon numbers of all particles resulting from the reaction. An exception is the chiral anomaly. However, sphalerons are not all that common. Electroweak sphalerons can only change the baryon number by 3. link | flag answered Nov 12 at 23:42 Bernardo Kyotoku 407 1 5 @Bernardo, Thanks for the link, but.. "many of the open questions beyond the Standard Model will be addressed by the LHC" – voix Nov 13 at 0:10 up vote 2 down vote If changing the protons into something else counts as "destroying" it, then yes, this is what keeps stars burning . In particular, two protons can interact and form a deuteron, a positron and an antineutrino and some energy. link | flag answered Nov 12 at 22:09 j.c. 1,319 2 9 up vote 2 down vote Most proton-proton collisions will be elastic: throw in two protons and two protons will come out, deflected at some angle. But the more interesting collisions are those where individual constituents of the proton (quarks, antiquarks, or gluons) interact. For instance, all the interesting high-energy proton-proton collisions at the LHC are really collisions of two quarks, or two gluons, or a gluon and a quark (or similar combinations involving antiquarks) coming from the two protons. The results of this "hard" collision often come out at a large angle away from the proton beam, while the "remnants" of the proton that weren't directly involved in the collision sail off down the beamline in roughly the same direction the proton was originally going. It's probably reasonable to say that the original proton was "destroyed" in this process, although some large fraction of its energy and its constituents keep moving in the same direction. Of course, the word "destroyed" is a little fuzzy. The protons don't just disappear. There are a few constraints on the final result of the collision process: it must conserve momentum, energy, and baryon number. A proton has baryon number +1, as does a neutron and various heavier "hyperons," whereas an antiproton has baryon number -1. The momentum, energy, and baryon number can all be divided up in complicated ways. So you might argue that there's a sense in which you didn't "destroy" the protons, since at the end you still have to have a total of 2 baryons. But in general, the proton remnants moving down the beamline could join up with antiquarks and make mesons with no net baryon number, while baryons could form from the hard collision and move away at a large angle. In that case I wouldn't say there's any sense in which the original protons maintained their "identity," and I think it would be reasonable to say they were destroyed. All things considered, though, it's probably best to not think in terms of the word "destroy" that you chose at all. Maybe the way to visualize it is like this: most proton-proton collisions are like two billiard balls that bounce off each other in an elastic way. But the collisions that are of the most interest at a collider are more like cases where two billiard balls hit each other and small pieces of each shear off and fly out at a big angle, but the bulk of each ball keeps moving in roughly the direction it started from. link | flag answered Nov 12 at 23:04 Matt Reece 578 2 6 @Matt, Thank you for your answer – voix Nov 13 at 0:17 up vote 1 down vote You can't destroy a particle. Without involving more complex concepts such as colour, momentum and energy must be conserved, and this implies that you cannot destroy particles. You can produce new particles or radiation by colliding protons (or neutrons...), but, in the sense that they explode and disappear, it is impossible. Nevertheless, you can get muons, gamma-rays, or, more interesting, you could be able to "see" the quarks inside the protons for a moment. link | flag answered Nov 12 at 22:09 asanlua 170 8 Your Answer draft saved log in or Name Email never shown Home Page Not the answer you're looking for?
