In that configuration, the only way to reduce the field energy is to bring the charges closer together, so there is a force in that direction, i.e., of each particle directly toward the other. The …

Aug 7, 2016 · According to quantum electrodynamics, the most accurately verified theory in physics, a photon is a single-particle excitation of the free quantum electromagnetic field.

Chirality is a fundamental property of a particle; particles which differ in terms of chirality can be viewed as an entirely different type of particle. It refers to how a particle's quantum mechanical …

Mar 26, 2021 · For single-particle quantities the usual convention is to use lower-case letters and symbols. It's probably fair to say that term symbols are most commonly used in atomic …

So atoms are formed from protons and neutrons, which are formed from quarks. But where do these quarks come from? What makes them?

8 Particle physics has a set of elementary particles , some of which have zero mass. In this table the general public has heard of the electron and maybe the photon. The mass of the electron …

Sep 16, 2022 · See this answer which is somewhat technical (undergraduate-physics-major level). When you add quantum mechanics, you get particle-like behavior of the field, and each …

Dec 29, 2020 · What are the fields that exist in the standard model and QFT? I know the electromagnetic field and the Higgs field, but what other fields are there? Also, how do they …
