It refers to computing tools that help calculating the complex particle interactions as studied in high-energy physics, astroparticle physics and cosmology. The goal of the automation is to handle the full sequence of calculations in an automatic (programmed) way: from the Lagrangian expression describing the physics model up to the cross ...
Stokesian dynamics [1] is a solution technique for the Langevin equation, which is the relevant form of Newton's 2nd law for a Brownian particle.The method treats the suspended particles in a discrete sense while the continuum approximation remains valid for the surrounding fluid, i.e., the suspended particles are generally assumed to be significantly larger than the molecules of the solvent.
Brownian motion is the random motion of particles suspended in a medium (a liquid or a gas). [2] This motion pattern typically consists of random fluctuations in a particle's position inside a fluid sub-domain, followed by a relocation to another sub-domain. Each relocation is followed by more fluctuations within the new closed volume.
Standard Model of Particle Physics. The diagram shows the elementary particles of the Standard Model (the Higgs boson , the three generations of quarks and leptons , and the gauge bosons ), including their names, masses, spins, charges, chiralities, and interactions with the strong , weak and electromagnetic forces.
One of the results from the band theory of solids is that the movement of particles in a periodic potential, over long distances larger than the lattice spacing, can be very different from their motion in a vacuum. The effective mass is a quantity that is used to simplify band structures by modeling the behavior of a free particle with that mass.
A pitch angle of 0 degrees is a particle whose parallel motion is perfectly along the local magnetic field. In the northern hemisphere this particle would be heading down toward the Earth (and the opposite in the southern hemisphere). A pitch angle of 90 degrees is a particle that is locally mirroring (see: Magnetosphere particle motion).
The equation of motion for the particle derived above = + + can be rewritten using the definition of the Schwarzschild radius r s as = [] + + (+) which is equivalent to a particle moving in a one-dimensional effective potential = + (+) The first two terms are well-known classical energies, the first being the attractive Newtonian gravitational ...
Particle velocity (denoted v or SVL) is the velocity of a particle (real or imagined) in a medium as it transmits a wave. The SI unit of particle velocity is the metre per second (m/s). In many cases this is a longitudinal wave of pressure as with sound , but it can also be a transverse wave as with the vibration of a taut string.
