  2. Pseudorapidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorapidity

    In hadron collider physics, the rapidity (or pseudorapidity) is preferred over the polar angle because, loosely speaking, particle production is constant as a function of rapidity, and because differences in rapidity are Lorentz invariant under boosts along the longitudinal axis: they transform additively, similar to velocities in Galilean ...

  3. Fictitious force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_force

    A pseudo force does not arise from any physical interaction between two objects, such as electromagnetism or contact forces. It is just a consequence of the acceleration a of the physical object the non-inertial reference frame is connected to, i.e. the vehicle in this case. From the viewpoint of the respective accelerating frame, an ...

  4. Pseudovector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudovector

    An alternate approach, more along the lines of passive transformations, is to keep the universe fixed, but switch "right-hand rule" with "left-hand rule" everywhere in math and physics, including in the definition of the cross product and the curl. Any polar vector (e.g., a translation vector) would be unchanged, but pseudovectors (e.g., the ...

  7. Pseudopotential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudopotential

    The pseudopotential is an attempt to replace the complicated effects of the motion of the core (i.e. non-valence) electrons of an atom and its nucleus with an effective potential, or pseudopotential, so that the Schrödinger equation contains a modified effective potential term instead of the Coulombic potential term for core electrons normally found in the Schrödinger equation.

  8. Pseudoscalar meson - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoscalar_meson

    In high-energy physics, a pseudoscalar meson is a meson with total spin 0 and odd parity (usually notated as J P = 0 −). [1] [a] Pseudoscalar mesons are commonly seen in proton-proton scattering and proton-antiproton annihilation, and include the pion (π), kaon (K), eta (η), and eta prime (η ′) particles, whose masses are known with ...
