Homework Statement I have a 13 foot long beam supported by a pin at x = 0 feet and a roller at x = 9 feet. There is a triangular distributed load of 50 lb/ft from 0 ft to 9 ft. (Increasing as it approaches 9 ft) At the end of the beam there is a moment of 200 lb-ft counter-clockwise.Homework...

Hi all, Could anyone help for calculating the hadronc production cross section for example for tree level : p p > t t~ process, I try to calculate, but the first problem I meet is a negative value of the matrix element amplitude (and so cross section ) and a negative ## \hat{t} ## Mandelstam...

I'm currently doing some research at the moment for my professor, and he gave me a list of things to look at. Before he had me calculate the "real center of mass cross section."
