Where can you get more information on the numbers you give for the saturation limit of 235 Watts per meter squared?
I've long since had concerns over the popular hype of CO2 as the greenhouse gas to be concerned about. For one, CO2 is a real poor absorber and reemitter of radiation because...
Just curious.
I know that antiproton will annihilate with a proton, but is that the only baryon which will react with a proton in such a way. Specifically, do the specific constituent quarks annihilate with their antimatter counterpart or do they only annihilate in the proper 2 and 3 quark...
Well, if you pursue a doctoral program, usually you can defer the loans until you finish. You can usually defer them for a while afterwards too once you're out with a job. But I'd say that very few post-docs in physics make anywhere near enough to deal with that debt. Though I have my...
Which OSU?
I graduated a few years ago from OSU-west (Oregon State) in Physics with a minor in math. Pretty standard fare physics curriculum with some emphasis on QM and Particle Physics. Now I'm working in a government lab effectively as a nuclear engineer.
I'd say that it shouldn't be...
The proton dripline is where a proton heavy nucleus has too many protons to prevent another proton from binding to the nucleus. It's the limit to potential isotopes on the proton heavy side. The neutron dripline is similar to proton dripline, forming a limit to potential neutron heavy...
For the original poster.
I would say enthusiastically that you would be able to teach a child faster than the progression given in US public schools. My wife and I are doing it. We homeschool, and homeschooling is getting more and more popular as people realize there are options to public...
First time visitor to this cool little forum we have here.
So I'm trying to figure out how to determine the cross-section of Compton Scattering and Pair Production when a high energy photon interacting with the Coulomb field of an atomic nucleus. I see a lot of pretty charts and/or values...
