What is the best physics dictionary for advanced-level vocabulary?

[darkchild]

I'm looking for a physics dictionary. I need something that has advanced-level vocabulary (I'll mostly be using it to wade through professional physics papers), and, though I would prefer it to be as comprehensive as possible, my main fields of interest are classical and modern physics, astrophysics, and plasma physics.

I can recommend the "Dictionary of Physics" by Eric Weisstein. This dictionary is highly comprehensive and covers a wide range of topics in classical and modern physics, as well as astrophysics and plasma physics. It includes advanced-level vocabulary and is a useful tool for understanding professional physics papers. Additionally, it is regularly updated to include new terms and concepts in the ever-evolving field of physics. Other recommended dictionaries include the "Oxford Dictionary of Physics" and the "McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms." It may also be helpful to consult online resources such as the American Institute of Physics' "Physics Today" glossary or the National Institute of Standards and Technology's "NIST Reference on Constants, Units, and Uncertainty."
