I got the exam tomorrow too. Not too good at the whole baryons, mesons and leptons and all the weird particles. Hoping that everything is spelt out, as I haven't learnt what quarks make up what particles. Anyone actually learnt that? Please say no....

Do we have to know about the different types of chambers, eg bubble, cloud, etc in any great detail? We've never been taught them, so I assumed we don't have to know them but they are in our OCR book. I haven't got the syllabus, managed to leave it at college :s-smilie: Does anyone know what we have to know?!

hmm im not lookin forward to long questions about different particle accelerators and fusion project etc, it jus hasnt all stuc,k in my mind! argh!!
I've got it tomorrow too. I hate the way they put a synoptic question at the end; why not just do that in the actual synoptic paper?
Anyway, I've attached some notes that I've been using, I hope you find them useful but I realise it might be a little late now. I don't think you have to know quark compositions, all I can remember is that a neutron is a 'dud'.
