Ah I see, that makes sense. So charge conjugation in fermions is similar to parity then (when you say you need to exchange angular momentum/spin to return to the original state), or is this not a good way to think about it?

I've just recently been introduced to charge conjugation while reading the introductory particle physics texts by Griffiths and Perkins, and neither one really seem to explain how you go about finding the values for C. For example, if I wanted to find the value for the \rho^0 meson (which I...

Just a quick question--long story short, I need to normalise a plot by the cross-section, but I'm not sure how to do that and the Google hasn't been too helpful. I was thinking about scaling it by the cross-section times the luminosity--does this sound reasonable?

Thanks, this is what I wanted to do, but the fact that the question specifies cartesian coordinates is what's confusing me. I agree that it makes much more sense to do it this way. I'll check the other thread and see if it helps.

Homework Statement A uniform rod of length l rests on a horizontal floor and leans against a vertical wall, making an angle \theta with the floor. It is initially held at rest. At t = 0, the rod is released and falls, sliding on the floor and the wall with no friction. The only forces acting on...

hmm apparently my hint wasn't help... Faraday's law: E \cdot dl = -\frac{d\Phi}{dt} You know dl, and can calculate the change in flux, so you can solve for E...

Well what have you tried so far to solve these? Remember Maxwell's equations; they are the tools you'll need to solve most E&M problems at this level. Specifically, Faraday's Law will help with part (a).

You have said that the clue is that the formula is derived from I assume this means v^2 \cdot \frac{sin(2\theta)}{g}? Also, a statement of the actual question would be very helpful.

Homework Statement so I'm doing some proof-of-concept data analysis this summer and I've never taken a relativistic mechanics class and I'm a bit stuck. i need to figure out if there was a rho0 decay to pi+/pi- in some hypothetical 900GeV collision data. If there is, there should be a spike...

actually--i just redid the problem, it turns out i was using the wrong gas constant R...

yes, but I don't have any of the equations for the lines on the graph. using the energy equation (E=Qin+W). for an isothermal process E=0, so Qin=-W, and W=PdV=∫(nRT)/V*dV=nRT*ln(V2/V1)

Homework Statement At point D: P=2atm, T=360K, n=2mol At point B: V=3VD, P=2Pc Paths AB and CD represent isothermal processes The gas is carried through a complete cycle along the path DABCD. Determine the total amount of work done by the gas. Homework Equations PV=nRT...

Homework Statement Suppose that w=f(x,y), x=r*cos(θ), y=r*sin(θ). Show that: (\frac{\partial w}{\partial x})^2 + (\frac{\partial w}{\partial y})^2 =(\frac{\partial w}{\partial r})^2 + \frac{1}{r^2} (\frac{\partial w}{\partial \theta})^2 Homework Equations the multivariable chain rule...

Homework Statement For which positive integers k is the following series convergent? \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{\frac{(n!)^2}{(kn)!}} the latex code is acting weird, i'll put it in regular text too: Sum (n=1 --> infinity) (n!)2/(kn)! Homework Equations To test for convergence, I can use...

Homework Statement Using Kirchhoff's rules, find the currents I1, I2, and I3 in the circuit shown where R1 = 8.0 ohms, R2 = 9.0 ohms, and R3 = 5.0 ohms. Homework Equations Loop law, Junction lawThe Attempt at a Solution I know how to work the formulas, but the picture is really confusing. The...
