  2. Parity (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    The total parity is the product of the intrinsic parities of the particles and the extrinsic parity of the spherical harmonic function . Since the orbital momentum changes from zero to one in this process, if the process is to conserve the total parity then the products of the intrinsic parities of the initial and final particles must have ...

  3. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    A more direct method, however, is to simply calculate the trace: the sum of the diagonal elements of the rotation matrix. Care should be taken to select the right sign for the angle θ to match the chosen axis: ⁡ = + ⁡,

  4. Nuclear shell model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_shell_model

    All protons in the same level (n) have the same parity (either +1 or −1), and since the parity of a pair of particles is the product of their parities, an even number of protons from the same level (n) will have +1 parity. Thus, the total angular momentum of the eight protons and the first eight neutrons is zero, and their total parity is +1.

  5. Spin (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    [citation needed] This refers to the parity with "+" for even parity (wave function unchanged by spatial inversion) and "−" for odd parity (wave function negated by spatial inversion). For example, see the isotopes of bismuth, in which the list of isotopes includes the column nuclear spin and parity. For Bi-209, the longest-lived isotope, the ...

  6. Correlation function (statistical mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_function...

    One common correlation function is the radial distribution function which is seen often in statistical mechanics and fluid mechanics. The correlation function can be calculated in exactly solvable models (one-dimensional Bose gas, spin chains, Hubbard model) by means of Quantum inverse scattering method and Bethe ansatz. In an isotropic XY ...

  7. Matrix exponential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_exponential

    The formula for the exponential results from reducing the powers of G in the series expansion and identifying the respective series coefficients of G 2 and G with −cos(θ) and sin(θ) respectively. The second expression here for e Gθ is the same as the expression for R ( θ ) in the article containing the derivation of the generator , R ( θ ...

  8. Decay scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decay_scheme

    The decay scheme of a radioactive substance is a graphical presentation of all the transitions occurring in a decay, and of their relationships. Examples are shown below. It is useful to think of the decay scheme as placed in a coordinate system, where the vertical axis is energy, increasing from bottom to top, and the horizontal axis is the proton number, increasing from left to right.

  9. Beta decay transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_decay_transition

    The Gamow–Teller transition is a pseudovector transition, that is, the selection rules for beta decay caused by such a transition involve no parity change of the nuclear state. [2] The spin of the parent nucleus can either remain unchanged or change by ±1. However, unlike the Fermi transition, transitions from spin 0 to spin 0 are excluded.
