Because of the limited energy involved in the process (i.e., the mass difference between the down quark and the up quark), the virtual W − boson can only carry sufficient energy to produce an electron and an electron-antineutrino – the two lowest-possible masses among its prospective decay products.

Continuous spontaneous localization (CSL) model: [10] The Schrödinger equation is supplemented with a nonlinear and stochastic diffusion process driven by a suitably chosen universal noise coupled to the mass-density of the system, which counteracts the quantum spread of the wave function. As for the GRW model, the larger the system, the ...
Predicate transformer semantics were introduced by Edsger Dijkstra in his seminal paper "Guarded commands, nondeterminacy and formal derivation of programs".They define the semantics of an imperative programming paradigm by assigning to each statement in this language a corresponding predicate transformer: a total function between two predicates on the state space of the statement.
In the history of the universe, this is believed to have happened shortly after the hot big bang, when the universe was at a temperature 159.5 ± 1.5 GeV [13] (assuming the Standard Model of particle physics). Due to its complexity, this Lagrangian is best described by breaking it up into several parts as follows.
Van der Waals forces are often among the weakest chemical forces. For example, the pairwise attractive van der Waals interaction energy between H atoms in different H 2 molecules equals 0.06 kJ/mol (0.6 meV) and the pairwise attractive interaction energy between O atoms in different O 2 molecules equals 0.44 kJ/mol (4.6 meV).

The typical approach to describe dissipation is to split the total system in two parts: the quantum system where dissipation occurs, and a so-called environment or bath into which the energy of the former will flow. The way both systems are coupled depends on the details of the microscopic model, and hence, the description of the bath.
Photo cred: Getty. More popular than the game show itself was the show's host, Anne Robinson. Robinson quickly became the no nonsense host, and was dubbed the Queen of Mean for her iconic phrase ...
Interaction energy of an argon dimer.The long-range section is due to London dispersion forces. London dispersion forces (LDF, also known as dispersion forces, London forces, instantaneous dipole–induced dipole forces, fluctuating induced dipole bonds [1] or loosely as van der Waals forces) are a type of intermolecular force acting between atoms and molecules that are normally electrically ...
