  2. STO-nG basis sets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STO-nG_basis_sets

    STO-nG basis sets are minimal basis sets, where primitive Gaussian orbitals are fitted to a single Slater-type orbital (STO).originally took the values 2 – 6. They were first proposed by John Pople. A minimum basis set is where only sufficient orbitals are used to contain all the electrons in the neutral atom. Thus for the hydrogen atom, only a single 1s orbital is needed, while for a carbon ...

  3. Air shower (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_shower_(physics)

    Air showers are extensive cascades of subatomic particles and ionized nuclei, produced in the atmosphere when a primary cosmic ray enters the atmosphere. Particles of cosmic radiation can be protons, nuclei, electrons, photons, or (rarely) positrons. Upon entering the atmosphere, they interact with molecules and initiate a particle cascade that ...

  4. Spontaneous emission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_emission

    Spontaneous emission is the process in which a quantum mechanical system (such as a molecule, an atom or a subatomic particle) transits from an excited energy state to a lower energy state (e.g., its ground state) and emits a quantized amount of energy in the form of a photon. Spontaneous emission is ultimately responsible for most of the light ...

  5. Atomic orbital - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_orbital

    The Slater-type orbital (STO) is a form without radial nodes but decays from the nucleus as does a hydrogen-like orbital. The form of the Gaussian type orbital (Gaussians) has no radial nodes and decays as e − α r 2 {\displaystyle e^{-\alpha r^{2}}} .

  6. Event (particle physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_(particle_physics)

    Because of the uncertainty principle, an event in particle physics does not have quite the same meaning as it does in the theory of relativity, in which an "event" is a point in spacetime which can be known exactly, i.e., a spacetime coordinate.

  7. Safe Torque Off - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_Torque_Off

    The STO function is the most common and basic drive-integrated safety function. It ensures that no torque-generating energy can continue to act upon a motor and prevents unintentional starting. [ 1 ]

  9. Particle decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_decay

    In particle physics, particle decay is the spontaneous process of one unstable subatomic particle transforming into multiple other particles. The particles created in this process (the final state) must each be less massive than the original, although the total mass of the system must be conserved.
