About twenty years ago, I was renovating a lawn on rental property. Theheavy, clay soil needed some help, as water would run off the lawn and downthe street instead of soaking in, and I tilled in several yards of sawdustand added nitrogen to compensate for the drain sawdust can create while itdecomposes. The cabinet shop was making their products out of industrialgrade particle board, which uses a

In order to specify a wave its frequency, wavelength, velocity of propagation, amplitude and intensity have to be specified. To specify a particles its mass, velocity, momentum and energy have to be specified. Further a wave occupies a larger area but a particle occupies just a finite position. It is difficult to accept the idea of “spread out” wave is equivalent to a particle. To be continued…….

To explain the interaction of one photon at a time, phenomena of photoelectric effect and the Compton scattering, we have to consider light as particles having energy and momentum. We used the laws of conservation of energy and momentum to collision between two particles, the electron and the photon, the same way as done with the collision of two billiard balls and successfully explained the characteristic of Compton scattering.

"The father of a theoretical subatomic particle dubbed "the God particle" says he's almost sure it will be confirmed in the next year in a race between powerful research equipment in the United States and Europe. British physicist Peter Higgs, who more than 40 years ago postulated the existence of the particle in the makeup of the atom, said his visit to a new accelerator in Geneva last weekend encouraged him that the Higgs boson will soon be seen."[via usa today]

From the experiment on interface, diffraction and polarization we know for certain light and all electromagnetic radiation are waves. From propagation experiments we know that all travels with the same speed. The speed of light, carrying energy and momentum and their properties can be explained in terms of Maxwell’s equations.

Scientists Attempting To Find The Origin Of MassPhysicists from all over the world are racing to prove the existence of a particle that's surmised to be at the heart of the matter. Literally.Dubbed the "God particle" by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman, the Higgs boson is a controversial particle believed to bestow mass on all other particles.Scientists are hoping to discover traces of its presence in Fermilab's Tevatron, a 7-mile-long circumference particle accelerator that smashes opposing beams of protons and antiprotons around a circular track, sifting through the debris with two immense detectors called CDF and D0.Because it plays a key role in the standard model of physics (the theory on which physicists base their whole understanding of matter), proving the existence or a

sciencehabit writes “Physicists may have finally figured out why the universe contains more matter than antimatter. The key lies in a flaw in the relationship between the two and a potentially new subatomic particle. ‘Other researchers, however, say the results, published today in Nature, should be interpreted cautiously. It could all be an effect produced [...]

A particle accelerator is a device that uses electric fields to propel electrically charged particles to high speeds and to contain them. An ordinary CRT television set is a simple form of accelerator. There are two basic types: linear (in a straight-line) accelerators and circular accelerators. In a linear accelerator (linac), particles are accelerated in [...]

A new particle, dubbed particle X, may mediate the rare decay of a Sigma-plus hyperon (a sub-atomic particle) and appears to have close affiliations with a light Higgs boson encountered in one supersymmetric model, a clear proof for physics beyond the standard model (SM).

Particle physics, which deals with high energies, is extremely important in the behavior of the early universe, since it was so hot that the average energy density was very high. Because of this, scattering processes and decay of unstable particles are important in cosmology.As a thumb rule, a scattering or a decay process is cosmologically important in a certain cosmological epoch if its relevant time scale is smaller or comparable to the time scale of the universe expansion, which is 1 / H with H being the Hubble constant at that time. This is roughly equal to the age of the universe at that time.

Public involvement in the Large Hadron Collider, a particle accelerator being built in Switzerland, has received a boost with the relaunch of the LHC@home project, which allows users to donate computer time for LHC computing projects. Researchers hope the project will help them fine-tune the LHC to shed light on what dark matter is and why particles have mass. LHC@home has operated sporadically since 2004 as a way for users around the world to donate spare computing time to help scientists carry out work related to the LHC. It is modelled on the popular SETI@home software, which works as a screensaver and harnesses the computer ‘downtime’ of millions of volunteers to help search through radio observations for potential alien transmissions. The LHC, set to switch on in May 2008, will probe the behaviour of matter at very high energies. Physicists hope it will help answer fundamental questions, such as how particles are endowed with mass. It may also shed light on astronomica

When electrons were first discovered, they were thought to be particles like the protons and neutrons found in the nucleus. In the experiments that followed, however, it was discovered that they display wave characteristics like light particles, that is, photons. Subsequently, quantum physicists came to the conclusion that every particle is simultaneously a wave form with its own distinct frequency.It is known that light is spread in a way similar to the ripples created on the surface of water when a stone is throne into a lake. However, light sometimes bears the characteristic of a particle of matter and is observed in the form of sporadic, intermittent pulses like rain drops falling on a window-pane. This same dichotomy was experienced in the electron as well, which led to great confusio
