Sentence examples for pion from inspiring English sources

Dr Learned and Dr Zee have come up with a design for a particle accelerator that would do the job a good deal more modestly, using another type of subatomic particle, the pion, as an intermediary.

Mesic atom, atom in which one electron is replaced by a negative muon or a negative pion (pi meson).

Some of them, just as in the case of the pion and the muon, are lighter than the proton, but many are more massive.

Meanwhile, studies of cosmic radiation at high altitudes those conducted on mountains or involving the use of balloon-borne photographic plates had revealed the existence of the pi-meson (pion), a particle 273 times as massive as the electron, which disintegrates into the mu-meson (muon), 207 times as massive as the electron, and a neutrino.

In plates exposed at the top of high mountains or sent up in high-altitude balloons, cosmic-ray interactions were recorded, and in 1947 the data revealed the existence of the pion as well as the process whereby it decays into two other particles, an antimuon (mu-meson) and a neutrino.

The simplest example is the deuteron, the nucleus of heavy hydrogen, which consists either of a proton and a neutron or of two neutrons bound by a positive pion (a meson that has a mass 273 times that of an electron when in the free state).

A quark combines with an antiquark to form mesons such as the pion.

Radioactivity was discovered in 1896 by its effect on a photographic plate, and nuclear emulsions later played a pivotal role in cosmic-ray research for example, in the discovery of the pion in 1947.

The pion has been identified with the hypothetical particle postulated in 1935 by the Japanese physicist Yukawa Hideki as the particle that serves to bind protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

They explained two-pion \ \ce{K2^0}\) decay by the existence of a "shadow" universe in touch with our "real" universe only through the weak interactions.

The experimenters reported a total of \(45\pm 9\) two-pion \ \ce{K2^0}\) decays out of a total of 22,700 \(\ce{K2^0}\) decays.
