  2. Form factor (quantum field theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_factor_(quantum_field...

    In elementary particle physics and mathematical physics, in particular in effective field theory, a form factor is a function that encapsulates the properties of a certain particle interaction without including all of the underlying physics, but instead, providing the momentum dependence of suitable matrix elements.

    The total number of individual molecules in one mole of a substance, by definition equaling exactly 6.022 140 76 × 10 23. Avogadro's law A physical law which states that volumes of gases which are equal to each other at the same temperature and pressure will contain equal numbers of molecules. axion

  4. Structure function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_function

    It is somewhat analogous to the structure factor in solid-state physics, and the form factor (quantum field theory). The nucleon (proton and neutron) electromagnetic form factors describe the spatial distributions of electric charge and current inside the nucleon and thus are intimately related to its internal structure; these form factors are ...

    [6] [7] [8] Homeokinetics – the physics of complex, self-organizing systems; Continuum mechanics – the branch of mechanics that deals with the analysis of the kinematics and the mechanical behavior of materials modeled as a continuous mass rather than as discrete particles. Dynamics – the study of the causes of motion and changes in motion

  6. Bispherical coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bispherical_coordinates

    Illustration of bispherical coordinates, which are obtained by rotating a two-dimensional bipolar coordinate system about the axis joining its two foci. The foci are located at distance 1 from the vertical z-axis. The red self-intersecting torus is the σ=45° isosurface, the blue sphere is the τ=0.5 isosurface, and the yellow half-plane is ...

  7. Bipolar coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_coordinates

    The equations for x and y can be combined to give + = ⁡ (+) [2] [3] or + = ⁡ (). This equation shows that σ and τ are the real and imaginary parts of an analytic function of x+iy (with logarithmic branch points at the foci), which in turn proves (by appeal to the general theory of conformal mapping) (the Cauchy-Riemann equations) that these particular curves of σ and τ intersect at ...

  8. n-ellipse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-ellipse

    For any number n of foci, the n-ellipse is a closed, convex curve. [2]: (p. 90) The curve is smooth unless it goes through a focus. [5]: p.7 The n-ellipse is in general a subset of the points satisfying a particular algebraic equation. [5]:
