Particle physicsParticle physics is a branch of physics that studies the elementary constituents of matter and radiation, and the interactions between them. It is also called high energy physics because many elementary particles do not occur under normal circumstances inParticle radiationParticle radiation is the radiation of energy by means of small fast-moving particles that have energy and mass. Particle radiation can be emitted from within an unstable atomic nucleus ( radioactive decay) in the form of a positively charged Alpha particParticle in a boxIn physics, the particle in a box (or the square well is a simple idealized system that can be completely solved within quantum mechanics. It is the situation of a particle confined within a finite region of space (the box) by an infinite potential that e

Everyday applications are found in TV sets and X-ray generators. The particles are contained in an evacuated tube so that they do not get dispersed by hitting air mParticle horizonThe particle horizon in cosmology is the distance from which particles (of positive mass or of zero mass) can have travelled to the observer in the age of the Universe. It is different from the event horizon. The particle horizon is defined as the largest
