  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 Delta states discussed here are only the lowest-mass quantum excitations of the proton and neutron. At higher spins , additional higher mass Delta states appear, all defined by having constant ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠ or ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ isospin (depending on charge), but with spin ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠ , ⁠ 5 / 2 ⁠ , ⁠ 7 / 2 ⁠ , ..., ⁠ 11 / 2 ...

  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. Density of states - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_of_states

    The density of states related to volume V and N countable energy levels is defined as: = = (()). Because the smallest allowed change of momentum for a particle in a box of dimension and length is () = (/), the volume-related density of states for continuous energy levels is obtained in the limit as ():= (()), Here, is the spatial dimension of the considered system and the wave vector.

  6. Precision tests of QED - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_tests_of_QED

    An extremely high precision measurement of the quantized energies of the cyclotron orbits, or Landau levels, of the electron, compared to the quantized energies of the electron's two possible spin orientations, gives a value for the electron's spin g-factor: [3] g/2 = 1.001 159 652 180 59 (13), a precision of better than one part in a trillion.

  7. Observer effect (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In physics, the observer effect is the disturbance of an observed system by the act of observation. [1] [2] This is often the result of utilising instruments that, by necessity, alter the state of what they measure in some manner. A common example is checking the pressure in an automobile tire, which causes some of the air to escape, thereby ...

  8. Partial charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_charge

    In atomic physics, a partial charge (or net atomic charge) is a non-integer charge value when measured in elementary charge units. It is represented by the Greek lowercase delta (𝛿), namely 𝛿− or 𝛿+. Partial charges are created due to the asymmetric distribution of electrons in chemical bonds.

  9. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_photoelectron...

    XPS physics - the photoelectric effect.. Because the energy of an X-ray with particular wavelength is known (for Al K α X-rays, E photon = 1486.7 eV), and because the emitted electrons' kinetic energies are measured, the electron binding energy of each of the emitted electrons can be determined by using the photoelectric effect equation,
