  2. Rho meson - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rho_meson

    The rho mesons can be interpreted [3] as a bound state of a quark and an anti-quark and is an excited version of the pion. Unlike the pion, the rho meson has spin j = 1 (a vector meson) and a much higher value of the mass. This mass difference between the pions and rho mesons is attributed to a large hyperfine interaction between the quark and ...

  3. Mie scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mie_scattering

    The term Mie theory is sometimes used for this collection of solutions and methods; it does not refer to an independent physical theory or law. More broadly, the "Mie scattering" formulas are most useful in situations where the size of the scattering particles is comparable to the wavelength of the light, rather than much smaller or much larger.

  4. X-ray reflectivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_reflectivity

    X-ray reflectivity (sometimes known as X-ray specular reflectivity, X-ray reflectometry, or XRR) is a surface-sensitive analytical technique used in chemistry, physics, and materials science to characterize surfaces, thin films and multilayers.

  5. Raman scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raman_scattering

    For Θ = π, the scattered amplitudes are opposite, so that the Raman scattered beam remains weak. A crossing of the beams may limit the path x. Several tricks may be used to get a larger amplitude: In an optically anisotropic crystal, a light ray may have two modes of propagation with different polarizations and different indices of refraction.

  6. Mass attenuation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_attenuation_coefficient

    Mass attenuation coefficients of selected elements for X-ray photons with energies up to 250 keV. The mass attenuation coefficient, or mass narrow beam attenuation coefficient of a material is the attenuation coefficient normalized by the density of the material; that is, the attenuation per unit mass (rather than per unit of distance).

  7. Incoherent scatter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incoherent_scatter

    A radar beam scattering off electrons in the ionospheric plasma creates an incoherent scatter return. When an electromagnetic wave is transmitted through the atmosphere, each of the electrons in the ionospheric plasma essentially acts as an antenna excited by the incoming wave, and the wave is re-radiated from the electron.

  8. Raman spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raman_spectroscopy

    Energy-level diagram showing the states involved in Raman spectra. Raman spectroscopy (/ ˈ r ɑː m ən /) (named after physicist C. V. Raman) is a spectroscopic technique typically used to determine vibrational modes of molecules, although rotational and other low-frequency modes of systems may also be observed. [1]
