    It produces about 14 digits of π per term [133] and has been used for several record-setting π calculations, including the first to surpass 1 billion (10 9) digits in 1989 by the Chudnovsky brothers, 10 trillion (10 13) digits in 2011 by Alexander Yee and Shigeru Kondo, [134] and 100 trillion digits by Emma Haruka Iwao in 2022.

  3. Particle-induced X-ray emission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle-Induced_X-ray...

    Particle-Induced X-Ray Emission or Proton-Induced X-Ray Emission (PIXE) is a technique used for determining the elemental composition of a material or a sample. When a material is exposed to an ion beam, atomic interactions occur that give off EM radiation of wavelengths in the x-ray part of the electromagnetic spectrum specific to an element.

    Unexpectedly for a red giant, Pi Geminorum was found to be an X-ray source during the ROSAT all-sky survey. The most likely source for this emission is an 11.4 magnitude companion star located at an angular separation of 21 arcseconds along a position angle of 214°. [ 10 ]

    This choice also places K-alpha firmly in the X-ray energy range. Similarly to Lyman-alpha, the K-alpha emission is composed of two spectral lines, K-alpha 1 (Kα 1) and K-alpha 2 (Kα 2). [6] The K-alpha 1 emission is slightly higher in energy (and, thus, has a lower wavelength) than the K-alpha 2 emission.

  9. X-ray notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_notation

    X-ray notation is a method of labeling atomic orbitals that grew out of X-ray science. Also known as IUPAC notation, it was adopted by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry in 1991 as a simplification of the older Siegbahn notation. [1] In X-ray notation, every principal quantum number is given a letter associated with it.
