  2. Weak interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_interaction

    The weak interaction has a very short effective range (around 10 −17 to 10 −16 m (0.01 to 0.1 fm)). [b] [14] [13] At distances around 10 −18 meters (0.001 fm), the weak interaction has an intensity of a similar magnitude to the electromagnetic force, but this starts to decrease exponentially with increasing distance.

  3. Weinberg angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weinberg_angle

    The weak mixing angle or Weinberg angle [2] is a parameter in the Weinberg–Salam theory (by Steven Weinberg and Abdus Salam) of the electroweak interaction, part of the Standard Model of particle physics, and is usually denoted as θ W. It is the angle by which spontaneous symmetry breaking rotates the original W 0 and B 0

  4. Enterochromaffin cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterochromaffin_cell

    Enterochromaffin (EC) cells (also known as Kulchitsky cells) are a type of enteroendocrine cell, and neuroendocrine cell. They reside alongside the epithelium lining the lumen of the digestive tract and play a crucial role in gastrointestinal regulation, particularly intestinal motility and secretion. [ 1 ]

  5. W and Z bosons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W_and_Z_bosons

    The combination of the SU(2) gauge theory of the weak interaction, the electromagnetic interaction, and the Higgs mechanism is known as the Glashow–Weinberg–Salam model. Today it is widely accepted as one of the pillars of the Standard Model of particle physics, particularly given the 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson by the CMS and ATLAS ...

  6. Cross section (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_section_(physics)

    In physics, the cross section is a measure of the probability that a specific process will take place in a collision of two particles. For example, the Rutherford cross-section is a measure of probability that an alpha particle will be deflected by a given angle during an interaction with an atomic nucleus.

  7. Fermi's interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi's_interaction

    Fermi's four-fermion theory describes the weak interaction remarkably well. Unfortunately, the calculated cross-section, or probability of interaction, grows as the square of the energy . Since this cross section grows without bound, the theory is not valid at energies much higher than about 100 GeV.

  8. Four-fermion interactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-fermion_interactions

    Fermi's theory of the weak interaction. The interaction term has a V − A (vector minus axial) form. The Gross–Neveu model. This is a four-fermi theory of Dirac fermions without chiral symmetry and as such, it may or may not be massive. The Thirring model. This is a four-fermi theory of fermions with a vector coupling. The Nambu–Jona ...

  9. Enterochromaffin-like cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterochromaffin-like_cell

    Enterochromaffin-like cells or ECL cells are a type of neuroendocrine cell found in the gastric glands of the gastric mucosa beneath the epithelium, in particular in the vicinity of parietal cells, that aid in the production of gastric acid via the release of histamine. They are also considered a type of enteroendocrine cell. [1]
