Yes that would be great thanks. I often see references to them in text without any real explanation and I am curious to what they are

Using missing energies to determine which processes are responsible for a reaction and for particle ID

Can someone explain to me this technique in high energy physics data analysis

In my stat mech book i seem to have a problem with the answer to this question which seems really straight forward; Q/ Mr and Mrs X have 2 children. If they tell you that at least one of them is a boy, but you don't know the gender of the other child, what is the probability that they have...

Just a quick question here. On page 43 of this link http://www.physics.gla.ac.uk/Physics4/2004-5/P4H_SSPI_complete.pdf Why is the distance AP = k/|k|.r and similarly for OB :confused: :confused:

Im a bit stuck on this tutorial problem on Bravais Lattices. The question initially asks to sketch the 5 2D Bravais lattices which i have done but i have no idea how to proceed with the next part, The question states " use the definition of the Bravais lattice to show that the third real...

so id need to work out where 4x^2exp(-x^2) (i.e. the second derivative) is maximum? Which would be x=0(?) and exp(-x^2)=1 and put this into the equation above to get the number of subintervals required?

Hi, in my numerical methods i missed my lecture and i am currently unable to obtain the solution of a problem from my lecturer. How many points should be used to compute the integral exp(-x^2) over the interval [0,1] with an error at most 5x10^-5? At the end of the previous lecture we where...

Just a quick question about finding the magnetic induction field B on the axis of a circular coil shown on page 7 on http://www.physics.gla.ac.uk/~dland/ELMAG305/Elmag305txt5.pdf I understand why the field must be along the x-axis but why does (dlxr )x become dlrsin(alpha)? alpha doesn't seem...

Ye it was a poor attempt at it. Its supposed to be Bx(x+dx,y,z)-Bx(x,y,z)=dBx/dx dxdydz

How do i show that B_{x}(x+dx,y,z)-B_{x}(x,y,z)\approx \frac{\partial B_{x}(x,y,z)}{\partial x} dx using a Taylor series to the first term. Using a Taylor series does B(x) = B(a) + B'(a)(x-a)? In that case what would B(x+dx) be and how can i obtain the desired result from this? Thanks in...

Where does the energy relationship for each channel come into play?

What does it do in a scintillation counter, does it split the voltage pulse into several amplitude channels which are proportional to energy?

just the 1 more question. what happens to the factor of 2. If the average magnetic field over the interval is B(x+dx)-B(x)/2 then do the Taylor expansion, would that not make the x-component of the flux 1/2(dBx/dx)dV or is this only the outgoing flux through the right hand surface of the volume...

Thanks think I've got a better idea now
