2. Double-slit experiment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment

   A well-known thought experiment predicts that if particle detectors are positioned at the slits, showing through which slit a photon goes, the interference pattern will disappear. [9] This which-way experiment illustrates the complementarity principle that photons can behave as either particles or waves, but cannot be observed as both at the ...

4. State of matter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter

   In regular cold matter, quarks, fundamental particles of nuclear matter, are confined by the strong force into hadrons that consist of 2–4 quarks, such as protons and neutrons. Quark matter or quantum chromodynamical (QCD) matter is a group of phases where the strong force is overcome and quarks are deconfined and free to move.

5. Wave–particle duality - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave–particle_duality

   The electron double slit experiment is a textbook demonstration of wave-particle duality. [2] A modern version of the experiment is shown schematically in the figure below. Left half: schematic setup for electron double-slit experiment with masking; inset micrographs of slits and mask; Right half: results for slit 1, slit 2 and both slits open ...

6. Standard Model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Model

   Elementary-particle masses and the differences between electromagnetism (mediated by the photon) and the weak force (mediated by the W and Z bosons) are critical to many aspects of the structure of microscopic (and hence macroscopic) matter. In electroweak theory, the Higgs boson generates the masses of the leptons (electron, muon, and tau) and ...

7. Corpuscularianism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpuscularianism

   Corpuscularianism is similar to the theory of atomism, except that where atoms were supposed to be indivisible, corpuscles could in principle be divided.In this manner, for example, it was theorized that mercury could penetrate into metals and modify their inner structure, a step on the way towards the production of gold by transmutation.

8. Matter creation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter_creation

   The process inverse to particle annihilation can be called matter creation; more precisely, we are considering here the process obtained under time reversal of the annihilation process. This process is also known as pair production , and can be described as the conversion of light particles (i.e., photons) into one or more massive particles .

9. Astroparticle physics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroparticle_physics

   Astroparticle physics, also called particle astrophysics, is a branch of particle physics that studies elementary particles of astrophysical origin and their relation to astrophysics and cosmology. It is a relatively new field of research emerging at the intersection of particle physics, astronomy , astrophysics, detector physics , relativity ...
