  3. Transverse momentum distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_momentum...

    Specifically, they are probability distributions to find inside the hadron a parton with a transverse momentum and longitudinal momentum fraction . TMDs provide information on the confined motion of quarks and gluons inside the hadron and complement the information on the hadron structure provided by parton distribution functions (PDFs) and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem

    While a system of 3 bodies interacting gravitationally is chaotic, a system of 3 bodies interacting elastically is not. [clarification needed] There is no general closed-form solution to the three-body problem. [1] In other words, it does not have a general solution that can be expressed in terms of a finite number of standard mathematical ...

  6. Pseudorapidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorapidity

    This is an important feature for hadron collider physics, where the colliding partons carry different longitudinal momentum fractions x, which means that the rest frames of the parton-parton collisions will have different longitudinal boosts. The rapidity as a function of pseudorapidity is given by

  7. On shell and off shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_shell_and_off_shell

    [1] [2] [3] In classical mechanics for instance, in the action formulation, extremal solutions to the variational principle are on shell and the Euler–Lagrange equations give the on-shell equations. Noether's theorem regarding differentiable symmetries of physical action and conservation laws is another on-shell theorem.

  8. Rigidity (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigidity_(electromagnetism)

    In particle physics, rigidity is a measure of the resistance of a particle to deflection by magnetic fields, defined as the particle's momentum divided by its charge. For a fully ionised nucleus moving at relativistic speed, this is equivalent to the energy per atomic number.

  9. Mirror matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_matter

    Because mirror matter is analogous to ordinary matter, it is then to be expected that a fraction of the mirror matter exists in the form of mirror galaxies, mirror stars, mirror planets etc. These objects can be detected using gravitational microlensing. [35] One would also expect that some fraction of stars have mirror objects as their companion.
