The turkey is a large species of bird in the genus Meleagris, native to North America.There are two extant turkey species: the wild turkey (M. gallopavo) of eastern and central North America and the ocellated turkey (M. ocellata) of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. This photograph, taken at Deer Island Preserve in Novato, California, depicts a male Rio Grande wild turkey (M. g. …

Etymologie. Die Bezeichnung „Baryon“ kommt von altgriechisch βαρύς (barýs ‚schwer‘, ‚gewichtig‘) als Gegensatz zu den „leichten“ Leptonen und den „mittelschweren“ Mesonen.Die Namensgebung passt zu den zuerst entdeckten Teilchen: das leichteste Baryon (das Proton) ist siebenmal so schwer wie das leichteste Meson (das Pion) und fast 2000-mal so schwer wie …

Het standaardmodel van de deeltjesfysica is een theorie uit de deeltjesfysica waarin de krachten en deeltjes die alle materie vormen, worden beschreven. Experimenten hebben aangetoond dat deze theorie met de kwantummechanica en de speciale relativiteitstheorie in overeenstemming is. Het is echter geen allesbeschrijvende theorie van fundamentele …

Sigma (huruf besar: Σ, huruf kecil: σ, huruf kecil pada akhir kata: ς) adalah huruf ke-18 dalam susunan alfabet Yunani. Dalam sistem angka Yunani, huruf ini mempunyai nilai 200. Dalam bidang keilmuan, simbol huruf besar sigma, Σ digunakan sebagai lambang: operator penjumlahan; sebuah kelas baryon dalam fisika partikel

A quark (/ k w ɔːr k, k w ɑːr k /) is a type of elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter.Quarks combine to form composite particles called hadrons, the most stable of which are protons and neutrons, the components of atomic nuclei. All commonly observable matter is composed of up quarks, down quarks and electrons.Owing to a phenomenon known as color …

Der griechische Buchstabe Sigma (griechisches Neutrum σίγμα oder σῖγμα, neugriechisches Neutrum Σίγμα; Majuskel Σ, Minuskel im Wort σ, Minuskel am Wortende ς) ist der 18. Buchstabe des griechischen Alphabets und hat nach dem milesischen System den Zahlwert 200. In der griechischen Sprache wird es als stimmloses „S“ gesprochen.

In theories of quantum gravity, the graviton is the hypothetical quantum of gravity, an elementary particle that mediates the force of gravitational interaction. There is no complete quantum field theory of gravitons due to an outstanding mathematical problem with renormalization in general relativity.In string theory, believed by some to be a consistent theory of quantum gravity, the …

Greek letters are used in mathematics, science, engineering, and other areas where mathematical notation is used as symbols for constants, special functions, and also conventionally for variables representing certain quantities. In these contexts, the capital letters and the small letters represent distinct and unrelated entities. Those Greek letters which have the same form as Latin letters ...

Spin is a conserved quantity carried by elementary particles, and thus by composite particles and atomic nuclei.. Spin is one of two types of angular momentum in quantum mechanics, the other being orbital angular momentum.The orbital angular momentum operator is the quantum-mechanical counterpart to the classical angular momentum of orbital revolution and appears …

In particle physics, a baryon is a type of composite subatomic particle which contains an odd number of valence quarks (at least 3). Baryons belong to the hadron family of particles; hadrons are composed of quarks.Baryons are also classified as fermions because they have half-integer spin.. The name "baryon", introduced by Abraham Pais, comes from the Greek word for …
