Since 1989 he was also an external member of the Max-Planck-Institute for Polymer Physics in Mainz. [citation needed] Since 1977, Binder was married to Marlies Ecker, with whom he had two sons. [citation needed] His research was in several areas of condensed matter physics and statistical physics.
The Binder parameter or Binder cumulant [1] [2] in statistical physics, also known as the fourth-order cumulant = is defined as the kurtosis of the order parameter, s, introduced by Austrian theoretical physicist Kurt Binder.
Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton (6 October 1903 – 25 June 1995) was an Irish nuclear physicist and Nobel laureate in Physics who first split the atom. [1] He is best known for his work with John Cockcroft to construct one of the earliest types of particle accelerator, the Cockcroft–Walton generator.
Sir John Douglas Cockcroft (27 May 1897 – 18 September 1967) was an English nuclear physicist who shared the 1951 Nobel Prize in Physics with Ernest Walton for splitting the atomic nucleus, which was instrumental in the development of nuclear power.
Log-log plot of γ (blue), v/c (cyan), and η (yellow) versus proper velocity w/c (i.e. momentum p/mc).Note that w/c is tracked by v/c at low speeds and by γ at high speeds. The dashed red curve is γ − 1 (kinetic energy K/mc 2), while the dashed magenta curve is the relativistic Doppler factor.
A gauge theory is a type of theory in physics.The word gauge means a measurement, a thickness, an in-between distance (as in railroad tracks), or a resulting number of units per certain parameter (a number of loops in an inch of fabric or a number of lead balls in a pound of ammunition). [1]
newton per coulomb (N⋅C −1), or equivalently, volt per meter (V⋅m −1) energy: joule (J) Young's modulus: pascal (Pa) or newton per square meter (N/m 2) eccentricity: unitless Euler's number (2.71828, base of the natural logarithm) unitless electron: unitless elementary charge: coulomb (C) force
Clarence Walton Musser (April 5, 1909, Mount Joy, Pennsylvania [1] – June 8, 1998) inventor of strain wave gearing and also credited with over 250 major inventions and discoveries. [ 2 ] Some of his inventions were the Army recoilless rifle , aircraft personnel catapults, instrumentation for underwater detonation testing.
