| Not only do condensed matter physicists use accelerators, but particle physicists use superconductors and solid-state detectors. |
| Ionium expels an alpha particle and becomes radium, which is a bivalent element resembling barium belonging to the second group. |
| According to quantum theory, the state of a particle is described as its wave function. |
| The particle physics community began adapting existing high-energy accelerators to provide heavy-ion nuclear beams. |
| However, as a subatomic particle the electron is also a quantum-mechanical object. |
| This stopping power of an atom for an alpha particle is approximately proportional to the square root of its atomic weight. |
