Particle physics

In the world of quantum mechanics, there is an intrinsic uncertainty in studying the position and the momentum of a particle at the same time. This means studying physics at small distances, where an ...

Muon

Physics; Particle physics

A fundamental particle, identical to the electron, but approximately 200 times heavier. It is commonly found in cosmic rays.

Neutralino

Physics; Particle physics

A hypothetical electrically neutral supersymmetric particle. The superpartners of the photon, Z-boson, and Higgs Boson actually get blended together. These particles are called as neutralinos.

Neutrino

Physics; Particle physics

An uncharged, weakly interacting lepton, most commonly produced in nuclear reactions such as those in the sun. There are three known flavours of neutrino, corresponding to the three flavours of ...

Positron

Physics; Particle physics

The anti-matter partner of the electron. It is identical in all respects to an electron, but it has positive charge.

Proton

Physics; Particle physics

One of the constituents of atoms. Along with the neutron, the proton can be found in the nuclei (centers) or atoms. Protons have a positive electric charge, and are composed of two up quarks and a ...
