electron-like particle
11Electron — For other uses, see Electron (disambiguation). Electron Experiments with a Crookes tube first demonstrated the particle nature of electrons. In this illustration, the profile of the cross shaped target is projected against the tube face at right… …
12Particle 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… …
13Particle in a spherically symmetric potential — In quantum mechanics, the particle in a spherically symmetric potential describes the dynamics of a particle in a potential which has spherical symmetry. The Hamiltonian for such a system has the form:hat{H} = frac{hat{p}^2}{2m 0} + V(r)where m 0 …
14Electron volt — In physics, the electron volt (eV) is a unit of energy. By definition, it is equal to the amount of energy gained by a single unbound electron when it accelerates through an electrostatic potential difference of one volt. In SI units, it is the… …
15Particle shower — In particle physics, a shower is a cascade of secondary particles produced as the result of a high energy particle interacting with dense matter. The incoming particle interacts, producing multiple new particles with lesser energy; each of these… …
16Electron microscope — Diagram of a transmission electron microscope A 197 …
17Particle 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… …
18Particle in a box — In physics, the particle in a box (also known as the infinite potential well or the infinite square well) is a problem consisting of a single particle inside of an infinitely deep potential well, from which it cannot escape, and which loses no… …
19Electron hole — An electron hole is the conceptual and mathematical opposite of an electron, useful in the study of physics and chemistry. The concept describes the lack of an electron. It is different from the positron, which is the antimatter duplicate of the… …
20Electron magnetic dipole moment — In atomic physics, the magnetic dipole moment of an electron is caused by its intrinsic property of spin within a magnetic field. Explanation of magnetic momentThe electron is a negatively charged particle with angular momentum. A rotating… …
