  2. Collision theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_theory

    For particles in a solution, an example model to calculate the collision frequency and associated coagulation rate is the Smoluchowski coagulation equation proposed by Marian Smoluchowski in a seminal 1916 publication. [4] In this model, Fick's flux at the infinite time limit is used to mimic the particle speed of the collision theory.

  3. Unified field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_field_theory

    In Kaluza–Klein theory, the gravitational curvature of the extra spatial direction behaves as an additional force similar to electromagnetism. These and other models of electromagnetism and gravity were pursued by Albert Einstein in his attempts at a classical unified field theory. By 1930 Einstein had already considered the Einstein-Maxwell ...

  4. Color-glass condensate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color-glass_condensate

    A classical analogy would be if one would provide a fundamental description using fictitious forces such as the Coriolis force. contraction is not observable in collision experiments due to the Penrose–Terrell effect. A correct description of the collision can be given using light-front wave functions, [5] [6] which are frame-independent.

  5. Boltzmann equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_equation

    The general equation can then be written as [6] = + + (),. where the "force" term corresponds to the forces exerted on the particles by an external influence (not by the particles themselves), the "diff" term represents the diffusion of particles, and "coll" is the collision term – accounting for the forces acting between particles in collisions.

  6. Theory of everything - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_everything

    The small, "curled up" extra dimensions can be compactified in an enormous number of different ways (one estimate is 10 500 ) each of which leads to different properties for the low-energy particles and forces. This array of models is known as the string theory landscape. [17]: 347

  7. Radiation pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_pressure

    The backward acting force of pressure exerted on the front surface is thus larger than the force of pressure acting on the back. Hence, as the resultant of the two forces, there remains a force that counteracts the motion of the plate and that increases with the velocity of the plate. We will call this resultant 'radiation friction' in brief."

  8. Breit–Wheeler process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breit–Wheeler_process

    The Breit–Wheeler process is the creation of an electron–positron pair following the collision of two high-energy photons (gamma photons). The nonlinear Breit–Wheeler process or multiphoton Breit–Wheeler is the creation of an electron-positron pair from the decay of a high-energy photon (gamma photon) interacting with a strong electromagnetic field such as a laser.

  9. Collision response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_response

    The degree of relative kinetic energy retained after a collision, termed the restitution, is dependent on the elasticity of the bodies‟ materials.The coefficient of restitution between two given materials is modeled as the ratio [] of the relative post-collision speed of a point of contact along the contact normal, with respect to the relative pre-collision speed of the same point along the ...
