71Helicity (particle physics) — In particle physics, helicity is the projection of the spin vec S onto the direction of momentum, hat p ::h = vec Scdot hat p,qquad hat p = vec p / |vec p|Because the spin with respect to an axis has discrete values, helicity is discrete, too.… …

73Racah W-coefficient — Racah s W coefficients were introduced by Giulio Racah in 1942. [G. Racah, Theory of Complex Spectra II , Physical Review, vol. 62, pp. 438 462 (1942).] These coefficients have a purely mathematical definition. In physics theyare used in… …
74Uncertainty 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… …
75Born-Oppenheimer approximation — In quantum chemistry, the computation of the energy and wavefunction of an average size molecule is a formidable task that is alleviated by the Born Oppenheimer (BO) approximation. For instance the benzene molecule consists of 12 nuclei and 42… …
76List of particles — This is a list of the different types of particles, known and hypothesized. For a chronological listing of subatomic particles by discovery date, see Timeline of particle discoveries. This is a list of the different types of particles found or… …
77Flywheel energy storage — NASA G2 flywheel Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel s rotational speed… …
78Singlet state — In theoretical physics, a singlet usually refers to a one dimensional representation (e.g. a particle with vanishing spin). It may also refer to two or more particles prepared in a correlated state, such that the total angular momentum of the… …
79Combustion — This article is about the process of burning. For combustion without external ignition, see spontaneous combustion. For the engine used in mobile propulsion, see internal combustion engine. For the visible part of a fire, see flame. Burning… …
80Principal quantum number — In atomic physics, the principal quantum number symbolized as n is the first of a set of quantum numbers (which includes: the principal quantum number, the azimuthal quantum number, the magnetic quantum number, and the spin quantum number) of an… …
