1subatomic particle — or elementary particle Any of various self contained units of matter or energy. Discovery of the electron in 1897 and of the atomic nucleus in 1911 established that the atom is actually a composite of a cloud of electrons surrounding a tiny but… …
2Subatomic particle — In physics or chemistry, subatomic particles are the smaller particles composing nucleons and atoms. There are two types of subatomic particles: elementary particles, which are not made of other particles, and composite particles. Particle… …
3Particle radiation — is the radiation of energy by means of fast moving subatomic particles. Particle radiation is referred to as a particle beam if the particles are all moving in the same direction, similar to a light beam.Due to the wave particle duality, all… …
4particle accelerator — accelerator (def. 7). [1945 50] * * * Device that accelerates a beam of fast moving, electrically charged atoms (ions) or subatomic particles. Accelerators are used to study the structure of atomic nuclei (see atom) and the nature of subatomic… …
5Charged particle — In physics, a charged particle is a particle with an electric charge. It may be either a subatomic particle or an ion. A collection of charged particles, or even a gas containing a proportion of charged particles, is called a plasma, which is… …
6charged particle — noun a) any particle, especially a subatomic particle, that carries an electric charge b) an ion …
7W particle — Physics. either of two types of charged intermediate vector bosons, one having a positive charge and the other a negative charge. Symbols: W+, W [1970 75; appar. for weak] * * * Electrically charged subatomic particle that transmits the weak… …
8Particle accelerator — Atom smasher redirects here. For other uses, see Atom smasher (disambiguation). A 1960s single stage 2 MeV linear Van de Graaff accelerator, here opened for maintenance A particle accelerator[1] is a device that uses electromagnetic fields to… …
9Particle beam — A particle beam is an accelerated stream of charged particles or neutrons (often moving at very near the speed of light) which may be directed by magnets and focused by electrostatic lenses, although they may also be self focusing (see… …
10Charged current — The Charged current interaction is one of the ways in which subatomic particles can interact by means of the weak force. It is mediated by the W+ and W− bosons. The interaction is often incorrectly believed to be called charged because the W… …
