relativistic single-particle model
1Particle physics — is a branch of physics that studies the elementary constituents of matter and radiation, and the interactions between them. It is also called high energy physics, because many elementary particles do not occur under normal circumstances in nature …
2Relativistic electromagnetism — is the idea of explaining electromagnetism based on relativistic (Albert Einstein 1905) arguments. It was first put forward in 1963 by Edward M. Purcell who wrote an innovative electromagnetism text in which he used special relativity to derive… …
3particle 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… …

5subatomic 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… …
6Stopping power (particle radiation) — In passing through matter, fast charged particles ionize the atoms or molecules which they encounter. Thus, the fast particles gradually lose energy in many small steps. Stopping power is defined as the average energy loss of the particle per… …

9Nuclear structure — Physics portal This page is an adapted translation of the corresponding fr:Structure nucléaire As will be noted, there remain void paragraphs, as on the original (which provides no sources). Competent Wikipedians are welcom …
10Quantum field theory — In quantum field theory (QFT) the forces between particles are mediated by other particles. For instance, the electromagnetic force between two electrons is caused by an exchange of photons. But quantum field theory applies to all fundamental… …
