decaying particle
1Particle decay — is the spontaneous process of one elementary particle transforming into other elementary particles. During this process, an elementary particle becomes a different particle with less mass and an intermediate particle such as W boson in muon decay …
2subatomic 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… …
3CLEO (particle detector) — CLEO was a general purpose particle detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR), and the name of the collaboration of physicists who operated the detector. The name CLEO is not an acronym; it is short for Cleopatra and was chosen to go… …
4lambda particle — noun an electrically neutral baryon with isotopic spin 1 • Syn: ↑lambda hyperon • Hypernyms: ↑hyperon * * * noun see lambda II * * * Physics. any of a family of neutral baryons with strangeness 1 or charm +1, and isotopic spin 0. The least… …
5Neutrino — For other uses, see Neutrino (disambiguation). Neutrino/Antineutrino The first use of a hydrogen bubble chamber to detect neutrinos, on November 13, 1970. A neutrino hit a proton in a hydrogen atom. The collision occurred at the point where three …
6Isotropy — is uniformity in all orientations; it is derived from the Greek iso (equal) and tropos (direction). Precise definitions depend on the subject area. Exceptions, or inequalities, are frequently indicated by the prefix an, hence anisotropy.… …
7Neutron Science Laboratory — Logo of the NSL at the University of Michigan The Neutron Science Lab (NSL) at the University of Michigan was created to house a D711 neutron generator purchased by the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences (NERS). The lab… …
8Radioactive decay — For particle decay in a more general context, see Particle decay. For more information on hazards of various kinds of radiation from decay, see Ionizing radiation. Radioactive redirects here. For other uses, see Radioactive (disambiguation).… …
9Uncertainty principle — In quantum physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that locating a particle in a small region of space makes the momentum of the particle uncertain; and conversely, that measuring the momentum of a particle precisely makes the… …
10Radon — This article is about the chemical element. For other uses, see Radon (disambiguation). astatine ← radon → francium Xe ↑ Rn ↓ Uuo …
