Beta ray maximum energy

I recently participated in a classical experiment that can calculate the maximum energy of a beta radiation emission (for Tl-204). When I searched the internet for other results for comparison,...

Is perturbation/interaction hamiltonian in interaction theory time-dependent?

Reading quantum field theory text, I am confused on regard to whether perturbation (or interaction equivalently) hamiltonian added to free-field hamiltonian is time-dependent or not. In Heisenberg picture, hamiltonian is...

A theoretical question about matter/antimatter and capacitors

Let's assume that the experiment is done in a vacuum and there's a circuit as in the attachment. The values of voltage/resistance/capacitance are insignificant. Assume that the right terminals of...

What is a symmetry in the path-integral formulation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics?

Suppose $mathbb{U}$ is a unitary operator acting on the Hilbert space of states representing a symmetry transformation such as rotation, translation, etc. $mathbb{U}$ is said to be a...

How is topology related to physics?

Topology has many occurences in physics like topological insulators, topological quantum computing etc. But what is confusing me is that topology is this mathematical theory that studies the behaviour of...

Mean-field ferromagnetic Heisenberg model

Given the quantum Heisenberg model with Hamiltonian $hat{H}=-frac{1}{2}sum_{i,j}J_{ij}hat{textbf{S}}_{i}cdothat{textbf{S}}_{j}$, the uniform mean-field approximation $hat{textbf{S}}_{i}=langlehat{textbf{S}}rangle+(hat{textbf{S}}_{i}-langlehat{textbf{S}}rangle)$ allows to rewrite it as $hat{H}_{MF}=sum_{i}textbf{B}_{eff}cdothat{textbf{S}}_{i}+text{const.}$, in order to perform a diagonalization by means...

Misconceptions about the universe - Hubble Sphere

I recently watched Veritasium's (excellent) video "Misconceptions about the Universe". However, he said something (at 2min 25s) which I think is wrong. Can somebody please clarify this one way or...

Does the concept of parallel and perpendicular vectors to a given four vector exists?

In relativistic fluid dynamics I encountered a way of writing $partial_mu $ as follows:$partial_mu = mu_mu D + nabla_mu $. Here $mu_mu $ is the four-velocity. $D=mu^alpha partial_alpha=(partial_t,mathbf 0...

Would it be possible to create a perpetual motion machine in an environment without air, friction, or dissipation?

Perpetual motion machines don't work because as it moves, the air molecules hit it and slow it down. Friction slows it down in a similar way. If...

Process of x-ray crystallography

This is a pretty basic question but I would just like some confirmation of what I suspect is true. As I understand it, the basic idea behind x-ray crystallography...
