Fundamental Theorems
... The electric field generated by charges is a conservative field; therefore, it possess zero “curl” but nonzero “divergence”. The electric field in Fig. 1 clearly has a positive divergence at the point where the charge is located and a zero curl since the electric field lines do not “rotate” around t ...

Problem 1. Kinematics of the Lambda decays
... The lambda particle (Λ) is a neutral baryon of mass M = 1115 MeV that decays with a lifetime of τ = 2.9 × 10−10 s into a nucleon of mass m1 = 939 MeV and a π-meson of mass m2 = 140 MeV. It was first observed by its charged decay mode Λ → p + π − in cloud chambers. In the clould chamber (and in detec ...

Noether's theorem
Noether's (first) theorem states that every differentiable symmetry of the action of a physical system has a corresponding conservation law. The theorem was proven by German mathematician Emmy Noether in 1915 and published in 1918. The action of a physical system is the integral over time of a Lagrangian function (which may or may not be an integral over space of a Lagrangian density function), from which the system's behavior can be determined by the principle of least action.Noether's theorem has become a fundamental tool of modern theoretical physics and the calculus of variations. A generalization of the seminal formulations on constants of motion in Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics (developed in 1788 and 1833, respectively), it does not apply to systems that cannot be modeled with a Lagrangian alone (e.g. systems with a Rayleigh dissipation function). In particular, dissipative systems with continuous symmetries need not have a corresponding conservation law.
