  2. BF model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BF_model

    BF stands for background field B and F, as can be seen below, are also the variables appearing in the Lagrangian of the theory, which is helpful as a mnemonic device. We have a 4-dimensional differentiable manifold M, a gauge group G, which has as "dynamical" fields a 2-form B taking values in the adjoint representation of G, and a connection ...

  3. Background field method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_field_method

    In theoretical physics, background field method is a useful procedure to calculate the effective action of a quantum field theory by expanding a quantum field around a classical "background" value B: = + (). After this is done, the Green's functions are evaluated as a function of the background.

  4. Gauge theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_theory

    The transformations between possible gauges, called gauge transformations, form a Lie group—referred to as the symmetry group or the gauge group of the theory. Associated with any Lie group is the Lie algebra of group generators. For each group generator there necessarily arises a corresponding field (usually a vector field) called the gauge ...

  5. Marking gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marking_gauge

    Stanley and Veritas marking gauges. A marking gauge, also known as a scratch gauge, [1] is used in woodworking and metalworking to mark out lines for cutting or other operations. [2] The purpose of the gauge is to scribe a line parallel to a reference edge or surface. It is used in joinery and sheetmetal operations.

  6. Mathematical formulation of the Standard Model - Wikipedia

    Standard Model of Particle Physics. The diagram shows the elementary particles of the Standard Model (the Higgs boson, the three generations of quarks and leptons, and the gauge bosons), including their names, masses, spins, charges, chiralities, and interactions with the strong, weak and electromagnetic forces.

  7. Wire gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_gauge

    The first includes all the older gauge measurements, notably the Birmingham gauge (B.W.G. or Stubs) and the Lancashire. The origin of the B.W.G. is obscure. The origin of the B.W.G. is obscure. The numbers of wire were in common use earlier than 1735 when the measurements were officially defined. [ 1 ]

  8. Strain gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_gauge

    A strain gauge (also spelled strain gage) is a device used to measure strain on an object. Invented by Edward E. Simmons and Arthur C. Ruge in 1938, the most common type of strain gauge consists of an insulating flexible backing which supports a metallic foil pattern. The gauge is attached to the object by a suitable adhesive, such as ...

    Arthur Claude Ruge (pronounced ROO-gee; July 28, 1905 – April 3, 2000) was an American mechanical engineer and inventor who developed and pioneered the modern bonded wire resistance strain gauge. [1] From 1939 to 1940 he chaired the Seismological Society of America (Eastern Section) [2]
