I am not sure if this topic is suitable for the group, but this question arose from a physics problem I was solving. The questions is: is the kummer confluent hypergeometric...

Hi All, I have a simple physics question, which I wonder if somebody could help me with as I am a computer science person trying to use Coulomb force as an error...

Something that crossed my mind recently. Is there any laboratory phenomenon that has not already existed in Nature? The only thing I could thing of would be cryogenics below...

Hi, could you help me to understand the first problem: http://www.sissa.it/sbp/web/exams/admission/oct2005.pdf I feel that something is missing ,for example, the...

I am looking for good expositions of the muon's magnetic moment as compared to the electron's. The 2006 experimental data from PDG has g/2 = 1.0011596521859 for the...

Dear SPR friends: When dealing with the Higgs mechanism, I have seen the scalar field phi written, for example, for the U(1) "Mexican hat" potential, as: phi =...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to understand the "seesaw mechanism" of neutrino masses. The algebra seems pretty clear but there's a couple of points that confuse me. It's probably...

Thanks to Charles Francis, Oz and Igor Khavkine for clarification of some of the issues raised by the 'Ranging and Pioneer' thread. To quote a couple of earlier...

The usual proofs of Bell inequalities rely on being able to integrate over (distributions of) the hidden variables. For such integrals to be well-defined, one is therefore...

A paper by Melissinos arXiv:hep-ph/9805507 discusses Schwinger's idea of vaccum breakdown. Schwinger conjectures that breakdown will occur and generate showers of electrons...

What is the status and opinions on "mirror matter" (Foot et el) as a candidate for "dark matter"?

Theoretically, the Electrical (E) field associated with a conductor is at exactly 90 degrees with respect to that conductor. It appears, however, that real conductors...
