  2. particleIllusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ParticleIllusion

    Featuring the super emitter which is usually applied in emitters of firework and explosion effects. particleIllusion (pIllusion for short) is a stand-alone computer graphics application based on the particle system technique which allows users to create graphical animations, e.g. fire, explosions, smoke, fireworks, and various abstract visual ...

  3. Particle system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_system

    Introduced in the 1982 film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan for the fictional "Genesis effect", [1] other examples include replicating the phenomena of fire, explosions, smoke, moving water (such as a waterfall), sparks, falling leaves, rock falls, clouds, fog, snow, dust, meteor tails, stars and galaxies, or abstract visual effects like ...

  4. Force carrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_carrier

    Quantum field theories describe nature in terms of fields.Each field has a complementary description as the set of particles of a particular type. A force between two particles can be described either as the action of a force field generated by one particle on the other, or in terms of the exchange of virtual force-carrier particles between them.

  5. Light scattering by particles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_scattering_by_particles

    Multiple-scattering effects of light scattering by particles are treated by radiative transfer techniques (see, e.g. atmospheric radiative transfer codes). The relative size of a scattering particle is defined by its size parameter x, which is the ratio of its characteristic dimension to its wavelength:

    Stack Overflow is a question-and-answer website for computer programmers. It is the flagship site of the Stack Exchange Network . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It was created in 2008 by Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky .

  7. Virtual particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_particle

    A virtual particle is a theoretical transient particle that exhibits some of the characteristics of an ordinary particle, while having its existence limited by the uncertainty principle, which allows the virtual particles to spontaneously emerge from vacuum at short time and space ranges. [1]

  8. W and Z bosons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W_and_Z_bosons

    [15] [16] In 2023, an improved ATLAS experiment measured the W boson mass at 80 360 ± 16 MeV, aligning with predictions from the Standard Model. [17] [18] The Particle Data Group convened a working group on the Tevatron measurement of W boson mass, including W-mass experts from all hadron collider experiments to date, to understand the ...

  9. Quasiparticle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasiparticle

    A quasiparticle is usually thought of as being like a dressed particle: it is built around a real particle at its "core", but the behavior of the particle is affected by the environment. A standard example is the "electron quasiparticle": an electron in a crystal behaves as if it had an effective mass which differs from its real mass.
