91light — light1 lightful, adj. lightfully, adv. /luyt/, n., adj., lighter, lightest, v., lighted or lit, lighting. n. 1. something that makes things visible or affords illumination: All colors depend on light. 2. Physics …
92Collider — This article is about the particle accelerator. For other uses, see Collider (disambiguation). A collider is a type of a particle accelerator involving directed beams of particles. Colliders may either be ring accelerators or linear accelerators …
93radioactivity — /ray dee oh ak tiv i tee/, n. Physics, Chem. the phenomenon, exhibited by and being a property of certain elements, of spontaneously emitting radiation resulting from changes in the nuclei of atoms of the element. Also called activity. [1895… …
94ATLAS experiment — ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) is one of the six particle detector experiments (ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, TOTEM, LHCb, and LHCf) constructed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a new particle accelerator at the European Organization for Nuclear… …
95Thomson scattering — In physics, Thomson scattering is the scattering of electromagnetic radiation by acharged particle. The electric and magnetic components of theincident wave accelerate the particle. As it accelerates, it in turn emits radiation and thus, the wave …
96Perveance — Introduction Perveance is a notion used in the description of charged particle beams. The value of perveance indicates how significant is the space charge effect on the beam’s motion. The term is used primarily for low energy electron beams,… …
97Modern searches for Lorentz violation — Important motivations for modern searches for Lorentz violation are deviations from Lorentz invariance (and thus special relativity) predicted by some variations of quantum gravity, string theory, and some alternatives to general relativity.… …
98Uncertainty 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… …
99Linear particle accelerator — A linear particle accelerator (also called a linac) is an electrical device for the acceleration of subatomic particles. This sort of particle accelerator has many applications, from the generation of X rays in a hospital environment, to an… …
100Muon — The Moon s cosmic ray shadow, as seen in secondary muons generated by cosmic rays in the atmosphere, and detected 700 meters below ground, at the Soudan II detector Composition Elementary particle Statistics …
