  2. Delta ray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_ray

    Fig. 2: A 3D representation of a delta electron knocked out by a 180 GeV muon, measured with a GridPix detector at the SPS at CERN. The colour indicates the height Otherwise called a knock-on electron, the term "delta ray" is also used in high energy physics to describe single electrons in particle accelerators that are exhibiting ...

  3. Delta baryon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_baryon

    The Δ baryons have a mass of about 1 232 MeV/c 2; their third component of isospin = ; and they are required to have an intrinsic spin of ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠ or higher (half-integer units). Ordinary nucleons (symbol N, meaning either a proton or neutron ), by contrast, have a mass of about 939 MeV/ c 2 , and both intrinsic spin and isospin of ⁠ 1 ...

  4. Delta potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_potential

    The delta potential is the potential = (), where δ(x) is the Dirac delta function. It is called a delta potential well if λ is negative, and a delta potential barrier if λ is positive. The delta has been defined to occur at the origin for simplicity; a shift in the delta function's argument does not change any of the following results.

  5. Binding energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binding_energy

    Among the chemical elements, the range of ionization energies is from 3.8939 eV for the outermost electron in an atom of caesium to 11.567617 keV for the innermost electron in an atom of copper. Atomic level: Atomic binding energy The atomic binding energy of the atom is the energy required to disassemble an atom into free electrons and a ...

  6. Particle in a one-dimensional lattice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_in_a_one...

    In quantum mechanics, the particle in a one-dimensional lattice is a problem that occurs in the model of a periodic crystal lattice.The potential is caused by ions in the periodic structure of the crystal creating an electromagnetic field so electrons are subject to a regular potential inside the lattice.

  7. Wave function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_function

    These values are often displayed in a column matrix (e.g., a 2 × 1 column vector for a non-relativistic electron with spin 1 ⁄ 2). According to the superposition principle of quantum mechanics, wave functions can be added together and multiplied by complex numbers to form new wave functions and form a Hilbert space .

  8. Weinberg angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weinberg_angle

    The 2004 best estimate of sin 2 θ w, at ∆q = 91.2 GeV/c, in the MS scheme is 0.231 20 ± 0.000 15, which is an average over measurements made in different processes, at different detectors. Atomic parity violation experiments yield values for sin 2 θ w at smaller values of ∆ q , below 0.01 GeV/ c , but with much lower precision.

  9. Anderson's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson's_rule

    The electron affinity (usually given by the symbol in solid state physics) gives the energy difference between the lower edge of the conduction band and the vacuum level of the semiconductor. The band gap (usually given the symbol E g {\displaystyle E_{\rm {g}}} ) gives the energy difference between the lower edge of the conduction band and the ...
