  2. Plasma parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_parameters

    All quantities are in Gaussian units except energy and temperature which are in electronvolts.For the sake of simplicity, a single ionic species is assumed. The ion mass is expressed in units of the proton mass, = / and the ion charge in units of the elementary charge, = / (in the case of a fully ionized atom, equals to the respective atomic number).

  3. Curie (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie_(unit)

    The rules of radioactive decay may be used to convert activity to an actual number of atoms. They state that 1 Ci of radioactive atoms would follow the expression N (atoms) × λ (s −1) = 1 Ci = 3.7 × 10 10 Bq, and so N = 3.7 × 10 10 Bq / λ, where λ is the decay constant in s −1.

  4. Scientific instrument - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_instrument

    Historically, the definition of a scientific instrument has varied, based on usage, laws, and historical time period. [1] [2] [3] Before the mid-nineteenth century such tools were referred to as "natural philosophical" or "philosophical" apparatus and instruments, and older tools from antiquity to the Middle Ages (such as the astrolabe and pendulum clock) defy a more modern definition of "a ...

  5. Experimental physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_physics

    Experimental physics is the category of disciplines and sub-disciplines in the field of physics that are concerned with the observation of physical phenomena and experiments. Methods vary from discipline to discipline, from simple experiments and observations, such as Galileo's experiments , to more complicated ones, such as the Large Hadron ...

  6. SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SLAC_National_Accelerator...

    Originally built for particle physics, it was used in experiments where the J/ψ meson was discovered. It is now used exclusively for materials science and biology experiments which take advantage of the high-intensity synchrotron radiation emitted by the stored electron beam to study the structure of molecules.

  7. CRIS experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRIS_experiment

    The experiment aims to study ground-state properties of exotic nuclei and produce high purity isomeric beams used for decay studies. CRIS does this by using the high resolution technique of fast beam collinear laser spectroscopy , with the high efficiency technique of resonance ionization .

  8. Experimental testing of time dilation - Wikipedia

    Results of the Frisch–Smith experiment. Curves computed for M N e w t o n {\displaystyle M_{\mathrm {Newton} }} and M S R {\displaystyle M_{\mathrm {SR} }} . If no time dilation exists, then those muons should decay in the upper regions of the atmosphere, however, as a consequence of time dilation they are present in considerable amount also ...

  9. Detection of internally reflected Cherenkov light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detection_of_internally...

    Since the successful operation in the BaBar experiment next-generation DIRC-type detectors have been designed for several new particle physics experiments, including Belle-II, PANDA, and GlueX. The DIRC differs from earlier RICH and CRID Cherenkov light detectors in that the quartz bars used as radiators also transmit the light.
