kaon

Examples

• All

• The scattered neutrons were not seen, but their momenta could be deduced from the known photon and kaon momenta.

  Academic text (2003)

• The momenta and identities of the kaons were determined by time-of-flight counters and tracking chambers in a magnetic field.

  Academic text (2003)

• "Tau" did have an older, already obsolete meaning in connection with kaon decay.

  Academic text (1995)

• By measuring an ultrarare kaon decay, the experiment would provide an extraordinarily sensitive probe for new physics beyond the standard model.

  Academic text (2003)

• Another purpose of the main injector was to let the collider run simultaneously with fixed-target neutrino and kaon-beam experiments.

  Academic text (2003)

• Hall C has one short spectrometer for short-lived particles such as kaons and a large, high-energy one for the electron; most of it is still empty floor space.

  Academic text (1993)

• For fermionic matter, the radius is inversely proportional to mass, while for kaon-dominated stellar cores, the proportionality is direct.

  Academic text (1995)

• The physicists observed a rare kaon decay, which may provide insights into fundamental forces.

• In high-energy experiments, scientists often create kaons by smashing protons together.

• Researchers are studying kaons to understand better the strong interaction between quarks.
