    Graduate Collider Parameters: corrected time for wrong vertex

    Hello, I stumbled across the following equation in a presentation about collider physics: tcorrWV =(tiRV - tiWV) + (TOFRV - TOFWV), where tcorrWV is the corrected time for the wrong vertex, tiRV is the initial time of the right vertex, tiRV is the initial time of the wrong vertex...

    Graduate What is the Correct Value of the Square of a Momentum Operator?

    Kinetic energy is given by K = (1/2)*m*v^2 = (p^2)/(2m). (-ih)^2 is actually equal to -h^2, because (-i)*(-i) = -1. Hence, K = (p^2)/2m = (-h^2/2m)*(d^2/dx^2)

    Graduate General Question About Path Integral Formulation of QM

    Hello all, I will be learning about the path integral formulation, among other topics, in an advanced QM class during this upcoming semester, so I read ahead a little. I understand that, essentially, the propagator between two points in spacetime is the normalized sum of exp(i*2pi*S/h) over...
