  2. Pinch (plasma physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinch_(plasma_physics)

    A common method of beating these end losses, is to bend the cylinder around into a torus. Unfortunately this breaks θ symmetry, as paths on the inner portion (inboard side) of the torus are shorter than similar paths on the outer portion (outboard side). Thus, a new theory is needed. This gives rise to the famous Grad–Shafranov equation.

  3. Electron energy loss spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_energy_loss...

    The low-loss spectrum contains the zero-loss peak (signal from all the electrons which did not loose a measurable energy) as well as the phonon [11] and plasmon peaks, and contains information about the band structure and dielectric properties of the sample. It is also possible to resolve the energy spectrum in momentum to directly measure the ...

    Reynolds Experiment (1883). Osborne Reynolds standing beside his apparatus. In 1883, scientist Osborne Reynolds conducted a fluid dynamics experiment involving water and dye, where he adjusted the velocities of the fluids and observed the transition from laminar to turbulent flow, characterized by the formation of eddies and vortices.

  5. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    To avoid losses, the conductivity of the tube material must be high. In high current situations where conductors (round or flat busbar) may be between 5 and 50 mm thick skin effect also occurs at sharp bends where the metal is compressed inside the bend and stretched outside the bend. The shorter path at the inner surface results in a lower ...

  6. Inelastic collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inelastic_collision

    In nuclear physics, an inelastic collision is one in which the incoming particle causes the nucleus it strikes to become excited or to break up. Deep inelastic scattering is a method of probing the structure of subatomic particles in much the same way as Rutherford probed the inside of the atom (see Rutherford scattering).

  7. ALICE experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALICE_experiment

    The physics program of ALICE includes the following main topics: i) the study of the thermalization of partons in the QGP with focus on the massive charming beauty quarks and understanding the behavior of these heavy quarks in relation to the strongly coupled medium of QGP, ii) the study of the mechanisms of energy loss that occur in the medium ...

  8. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    The three-point bending test is a classical experiment in mechanics. It represents the case of a beam resting on two roller supports and subjected to a concentrated load applied in the middle of the beam. The shear is constant in absolute value: it is half the central load, P / 2.
