hadron Usage Examples

Converse of object

  • make: Strong interaction The interaction responsible for binding quarks, antiquarks, and gluons to make hadrons.
  • produce: For the present example, program AP23 is used to produced hadron ( meson ) correlators D3.
  • charge: In 50 % a single charged hadron is produced and in 16 % three charged hadrons are produced.
  • know: Many of the known hadrons are resonances, which are excited states of the same quark combination.
  • create: If sufficiently energetic, the created hadrons can undergo further interactions, making yet new hadrons and disrupting more nuclei.

Adjective modifier

  • final: The majority of high energy hadron-hadron collision events contains a large number of final state hadrons.
  • high: Nature of problem: The inelastic interaction of a high energy hadron with a nucleus is simulated.
  • other: Roughly speaking, the strings served to bind together the quarks that make up the proton, the neutron and other hadrons.
  • observable: Finally, the partons are translated into observable hadrons using phenomenological models.
  • observed: The harmonics of the string vibrations were supposed to correspond to the observed hadrons.
  • charged: In 50 % a single charged hadron is produced and in 16 % three charged hadrons are produced.

Modifies a noun

  • collider: We have made the world's first measurement of exclusive c c production at a hadron collider.
  • calorimeter: Hadron Calorimeter: This device measures the total energy of hadrons.
  • production: The European hadron production experiment, HARP, will gather important data about the performance of materials for pion targets.
  • level: A presentation of the data corrected to hadron level is therefore required.
  • cascade: Running time: The software is implemented as a patch in the existing GEANT hadron cascade and is called only under very specific conditions.
  • interaction: Relativistic, nonlocal, complex hadron nucleus interactions are incorporated as well as vaccum polarization and finite size effects.

Noun used with modifier

  • energy: Nature of problem: The inelastic interaction of a high energy hadron with a nucleus is simulated.
  • state: The majority of high energy hadron-hadron collision events contains a large number of final state hadrons.
