This approach can yield a variety of structures, including ones with
the same type of particle at each vertex (b), arrangements with particles placed only on certain vertices (c), and structures with different particles placed strategically on different vertices (d).
If the universe didn't play favorites, kaons and antikaons should have decayed at exactly the same rate, into exactly
the same types of particles.
Not exact matches
Instead, physicists must search through the debris
of many different
types of particle decay to find precise combinations
of by - products that the Higgs would produce — and different chains
of particle decays may well have the
same signatures.
In a paper published in the January 18 issue
of Physical Review Letters, an international physics collaboration demonstrated that both
types of bonds play by the
same rules — quantum mechanics, the strange state in which matter exists as
particles and waves at the
same time.
Although this particular study focused on spinless
particles, we can assume that the spectrum
of other
types of particles would behave in the
same way,» says Fedor Popov.
What differentiates these
particles from one another, and from one other conglomeration
of the
same three
types of quarks that was previously found at the LHC, is the arrangement
of the quarks» spins.
But now that scientists know how well they work, he said it should be possible to engineer new
types of particles to do the
same thing.
** At LTE (local thermodynamic equilibrium) within a small volume
of material (small enough to be isothermal) that is still large enough to contain a large enough population
of molecules / atoms / electrons / etc, each population
of a
type of particle has the
same temperature, and the distribution
of energy among all
particles and all forms it can take (translational, vibrational, rotational, potential, electronic, latent, etc) is an equilibrium distribution).
In addition to the data from the radiometers, the Berkeley Lab scientists will get supplemental data by taking advantage
of a separate, in - depth DOE climate study at the
same location, which is using additional instruments and a balloon - borne sounding system to get information on temperature, cloud cover, the density and
types of aerosols or pollution
particles, heat fluxes and other climate variables like precipitation.
