    Fourier analysis of a Lorentzian/Cauchy/Breit–Wigner distribution

    So I'm supposed to do this but is it just me or is it too hard to do this analytically? (I put it into wolfram online integrator and he couldn't do it) I don't need it very accurate so are there any approximations to this distribution that I could use to make it easier? Anyone have any ideas of...

    Understanding Chiral Symmetry in QCD for Heavy Ion Collisions

    Homework Statement I'm doing a dissertation on heavy ion collisions and one of the things they look for in the collisions is chiral symmetry resolution - what is it? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I understand that it is a type of symmetry that is usually broken...

    Other Becoming an Engineer: Considerations and Personal Experiences

    Don't be too put off by the maths in engineering- my boyfriend and housemates do engineering but the level of maths they use is much less than I seem to use in my physics degree (although I agree that this is probably not true for electric/aerospace)). I think the difference seems to be that...

    How Are Quark and Proton Wavelengths Related in Quantum Mechanics?

    I still don't quite understand- do you still start from Heisenberg? Ok is it something like; DpDx>h/2 then I'm thinking maybe use kinetic energy/ momentum relation to get to energy? (p=(2mE)^-1/2) and when you say dE<mc^2 is that the mass of the proton? cause surely it should be...

    How Are Quark and Proton Wavelengths Related in Quantum Mechanics?

    Homework Statement Ok,as part of my dissertation I'm trying to explain about how quarks have a bigger quantum wavelength than protons so when you localise a quark inside a proton, the uncertainty in energy of the system becomes really big so there's a load of creation/anhilitation of other...
