  2. Gamow factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamow_factor

    Gamow [3] first solved the one-dimensional case of quantum tunneling using the WKB approximation.Considering a wave function of a particle of mass m, we take area 1 to be where a wave is emitted, area 2 the potential barrier which has height V and width l (at < <), and area 3 its other side, where the wave is arriving, partly transmitted and partly reflected.

  3. Pycnonuclear fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pycnonuclear_fusion

    Pycnonuclear fusion (Ancient Greek: πυκνός, romanized: pyknós, lit. 'dense, compact, thick') is a type of nuclear fusion reaction which occurs due to zero-point oscillations of nuclei around their equilibrium point bound in their crystal lattice.

  4. Wastewater quality indicators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastewater_quality_indicators

    Wastewater quality indicators are laboratory test methodologies to assess suitability of wastewater for disposal, treatment or reuse. The main parameters in sewage that are measured to assess the sewage strength or quality as well as treatment options include: solids, indicators of organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, indicators of fecal ...

  5. Semi-empirical mass formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-empirical_mass_formula

    The formula represents the liquid-drop model proposed by George Gamow, [1] which can account for most of the terms in the formula and gives rough estimates for the values of the coefficients. It was first formulated in 1935 by German physicist Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker , [ 2 ] and although refinements have been made to the coefficients ...

  7. Water quality modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_quality_modelling

    Water quality modeling helps people understand the eminence of water quality issues and models provide evidence for policy makers to make decisions in order to properly mitigate water. [1] Water quality modeling also helps determine correlations to constituent sources and water quality along with identifying information gaps. [2] Due to the ...

  8. George Gamow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Gamow

    [18] [19] [20] This work, in turn, evolved from his fundamental discovery of quantum tunneling as the mechanism of nuclear alpha decay, and his application of this theory to the inverse process to calculate rates of thermonuclear reaction. At first, Gamow believed that all the elements might be produced in the very high temperature and density ...

  9. Beta decay transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_decay_transition

    The Gamow–Teller transition is a pseudovector transition, that is, the selection rules for beta decay caused by such a transition involve no parity change of the nuclear state. [2] The spin of the parent nucleus can either remain unchanged or change by ±1.
