  2. XYZ particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XYZ_particle

    The basic model of hadron physics is the assembling of quarks into groups of 3 or a quark and anti-quark pair . A meson with a charm quark and an anti-charm quark is called charmonium, and the same parallels with the bottom quark and bottomonium.

  3. Right-hand rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-hand_rule

    In mathematics and physics, the right-hand rule is a convention and a mnemonic, utilized to define the orientation of axes in three-dimensional space and to determine the direction of the cross product of two vectors, as well as to establish the direction of the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field.

  4. Frame of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_of_reference

    In physics and astronomy, a frame of reference (or reference frame) is an abstract coordinate system, whose origin, orientation, and scale have been specified in physical space. It is based on a set of reference points , defined as geometric points whose position is identified both mathematically (with numerical coordinate values) and ...

  5. List of particles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_particles

    The field equations of condensed matter physics are remarkably similar to those of high energy particle physics. As a result, much of the theory of particle physics applies to condensed matter physics as well; in particular, there are a selection of field excitations, called quasi-particles, that can be created and explored. These include:

  6. Generalized coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_coordinates

    [12] [13] A simple pendulum consists of a mass M hanging from a pivot point so that it is constrained to move on a circle of radius L. The position of the mass is defined by the coordinate vector r = (x, y) measured in the plane of the circle such that y is in the vertical direction. The coordinates x and y are related by the equation of the circle

  7. Center of mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_mass

    This toy uses the principles of center of mass to keep balance when sitting on a finger. In physics, the center of mass of a distribution of mass in space (sometimes referred to as the barycenter or balance point) is the unique point at any given time where the weighted relative position of the distributed mass sums to zero.

  8. Fluctuation–dissipation theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluctuation–dissipation...

    The fluctuation–dissipation theorem (FDT) or fluctuation–dissipation relation (FDR) is a powerful tool in statistical physics for predicting the behavior of systems that obey detailed balance.
