  2. Particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle

    Arc welders need to protect themselves from welding sparks, which are heated metal particles that fly off the welding surface.. In the physical sciences, a particle (or corpuscule in older texts) is a small localized object which can be described by several physical or chemical properties, such as volume, density, or mass.

  3. Elementary particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_particle

    In particle physics, an elementary particle or fundamental particle is a subatomic particle that is not composed of other particles. [1] The Standard Model presently recognizes seventeen distinct particles—twelve fermions and five bosons.

  4. Proton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton

    A proton is a stable subatomic particle, symbol p, H +, or 1 H + with a positive electric charge of +1 e (elementary charge).Its mass is slightly less than the mass of a neutron and approximately 1836 times the mass of an electron (the proton-to-electron mass ratio).

  5. Subatomic particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subatomic_particle

    A composite particle proton is made of two up quarks and one down quark, which are elementary particles.. In physics, a subatomic particle is a particle smaller than an atom. [1]

  6. Standard Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Model

    The Standard Model of particle physics is the theory describing three of the four known fundamental forces (electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions – excluding gravity) in the universe and classifying all known elementary particles.

  7. Free particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_particle

    Propagation of de Broglie waves in 1d - real part of the complex amplitude is blue, imaginary part is green. The probability (shown as the colour opacity) of finding the particle at a given point x is spread out like a waveform, there is no definite position of the particle.

  8. Nanoparticle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanoparticle

    A nanoparticle or ultrafine particle is a particle of matter 1 to 100 nanometres (nm) in diameter. [1] [2] The term is sometimes used for larger particles, up to 500 nm, or fibers and tubes that are less than 100 nm in only two directions.

  9. Bragg peak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bragg_peak

    The Bragg curve of 5.49 MeV alphas in air has its peak to the right and is skewed to the left, unlike the x-ray beam below.. The Bragg peak is a pronounced peak on the Bragg curve which plots the energy loss of ionizing radiation during its travel through matter.
