The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider is a particle accelerator capable of creating the highest energy heavy ion collisions in the world. It is designed to explore a new state of matter called quark-gluon plasma. The...

Researchers, students, readers with an interest in particle physics, and librarians may appreciate the work of the Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics, or SCOAP3 for short. Describing...

The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) Library provides this electronic "guide," which organizes and annotates online databases, Webpages, catalogs, and directories that are of value to the particle physics...

This lecture covers information about the energy source that powers the Sun. Since the gravitational and the electromagnetic forces are insufficient to provide the energy of the Sun, the strong and weak nuclear forces...

This online text is an exhaustive description of the role of symmetry in the degeneracy of a single-particle bound state system in quantum mechanics. Both non-relativistic and relativistic examples are studied.
