  2. Scattering parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scattering_parameters

    The Scattering transfer parameters or T-parameters of a 2-port network are expressed by the T-parameter matrix and are closely related to the corresponding S-parameter matrix. However, unlike S parameters, there is no simple physical means to measure the T parameters in a system, sometimes referred to as Youla waves.

  3. Mandelstam variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelstam_variables

    In this diagram, two particles come in with momenta p 1 and p 2, they interact in some fashion, and then two particles with different momentum (p 3 and p 4) leave.. In theoretical physics, the Mandelstam variables are numerical quantities that encode the energy, momentum, and angles of particles in a scattering process in a Lorentz-invariant fashion.

  4. Stokes parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_parameters

    The Stokes I, Q, U and V parameters. The Stokes parameters are a set of values that describe the polarization state of electromagnetic radiation.They were defined by George Gabriel Stokes in 1851, [1] [2] as a mathematically convenient alternative to the more common description of incoherent or partially polarized radiation in terms of its total intensity (I), (fractional) degree of ...

  5. Bragg's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bragg's_law

    The angles that Bragg's law predicts are still approximately right, but in general there is a lattice of spots which are close to projections of the reciprocal lattice that is at right angles to the direction of the electron beam. (In contrast, Bragg's law predicts that only one or perhaps two would be present, not simultaneously tens to hundreds.)

  6. Rutherford scattering experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutherford_scattering...

    Rutherford's equation predicted that the number of scintillations per minute s that will be observed at a given angle Φ should be proportional to: [18]: 11 cosec 4 ⁠ Φ / 2 ⁠ thickness of foil t; magnitude of the square of central charge Q n ⁠ 1 / (mv 2) 2 ⁠ Their 1913 paper describes four experiments by which they proved each of these ...

  7. S-matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-matrix

    The S-matrix is closely related to the transition probability amplitude in quantum mechanics and to cross sections of various interactions; the elements (individual numerical entries) in the S-matrix are known as scattering amplitudes. Poles of the S-matrix in the complex-energy plane are identified with bound states, virtual states or resonances.

  8. Rodrigues' rotation formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodrigues'_rotation_formula

    A detailed historical analysis in 1989 concluded that the formula should be attributed to Euler, and recommended calling it "Euler's finite rotation formula." [1] This proposal has received notable support, [2] but some others have viewed the formula as just one of many variations of the Euler–Rodrigues formula, thereby crediting both. [3]

  9. Euler angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles

    The Haar measure for SO(3) in Euler angles is given by the Hopf angle parametrisation of SO(3), ⁡, [5] where (,) parametrise , the space of rotation axes. For example, to generate uniformly randomized orientations, let α and γ be uniform from 0 to 2 π , let z be uniform from −1 to 1, and let β = arccos( z ) .
