The Scattering of α and β Particles by Matter and
... § 1. It is well known that the α and the β particles suffer deflexions from their rectilinear paths by encounters with atoms of matter. This scattering is far more marked for the β than for the α particle on account of the much smaller momentum and energy of the former particle. There seems to be no ...

Forces - damtp
... We consider here forces acting on a single particle, which may be an idealisation of an extended body. Force is what appears on the right hand side of Newton’s second law, but one does use Newton’s laws to determine whether a force acts: the force between bodies in any given theory is defined as par ...

Duality, Phases, Spinors and Monopoles in SO (N) and Spin (N
... duality was discovered in N = 1 nonabelian supersymmetric gauge theories by Seiberg [3]. In [3] and [4], the physics of duality for SO(N ) gauge theories1 with Nf fields in the vector representation was studied. The SO(N ) gauge theories were shown to have magnetic and sometimes dyonic dual descript ...

History of physics
Physics (from the Ancient Greek φύσις physis meaning ""nature"") is the fundamental branch of science that developed out of the study of nature and philosophy known, until around the end of the 19th century, as ""natural philosophy"". Today, physics is ultimately defined as the study of matter, energy and the relationships between them. Physics is, in some senses, the oldest and most basic pure science; its discoveries find applications throughout the natural sciences, since matter and energy are the basic constituents of the natural world. The other sciences are generally more limited in their scope and may be considered branches that have split off from physics to become sciences in their own right. Physics today may be divided loosely into classical physics and modern physics.
