EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Proton Radius PuzzleG. M. HuberOccasionally,“revolutions” are caused in physics when new measurement techniques becomeavailable and cause us to rethink what we thought we knew. This has recently happenedin the field of proton structure physics, where researchers have had to revisitfundamental assumptions used in their determinations of the proton's meanelectric charge radius. Until 2010, ourknowledge of the proton's electric charge radius came exclusively fromelectron-proton interactions. … …Physics International, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 12 Sep 2015 · 8,321 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEXTENDED MASS RELATION FOR SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL MASSES AND NEW EVIDENCE OF LARGE NUMBERS HYPOTHESISCurtis J. Forsythe, Dimitar T. ValevA previously derived mass relation has been extended to seven equidistant fundamental masses covering an extremely large mass range from ~10-69 to ~1053 kg. Six of these masses are successfully identified as mass of the observable universe, Eddington mass limit of the most massive stars, mass of hypothetical quantum “Gravity Atom” whose gravitational potential is equal to electrostatic potential e2/S, … …Physics International, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 16 Jul 2014 · 8,271 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAcceleration and Particle Field Interactions of Cosmic Rays: FormalismA. Tawfik, A. Saleh, M.T. Ghoneim, A.A. HadyThe origin and acceleration theories of Ultrah High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) are still mesterious problem in modern physics and astrophysics. The acceleration of ultra high energy cosmic rays is conjectured to occur through interactions with electromagnetic fields in different astrophysical objects, like magnetic matter clumps, besides the well-known shock waves and elastic Fermi mechanisms. Based on this model, a … …Physics International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 18 May 2013 · 7,458 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Method to Describe Image Theory for an Imperfect ConductorScott L. Meredith, Susan K. Earles, Niescja E. TurnerProblem statement: Modify the equations associated with image theory in order to account for perfect and imperfect conductors. Approach: A novel approach for describing the application of image theory for an imperfect conductive surface was presented. The method presented here purposely downplays the physics of how image theory was employed to account for a charge which is in the presence … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,721 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeedup of Particle Transport Problems with a Beowulf ClusterZhongxiang Zhao, G. Ivan MaldonadoThe MCNP code is a general Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport program that is widely used in health physics, medical physics and nuclear engineering for problems involving neutron, photon and electron transport[1]. However, due to the stochastic nature of the algorithms employed to solve the Boltzmann transport equation, MCNP generally exhibits a slow rate of convergence. In fact, engineers and scientists … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,918 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Method for Transmitting Spacecrafts in Space with Velocity of at Least 0.01 of the Light Speed Using Materials with Very High Kinetic Energy in High Electric FieldsMario Nady AiadMany space new missions are on calendar this decade for Moon, Mars and other planets. Some of these missions are depending on simple reliable chemical thrusters and others on the nonchemical advanced propulsion techniques. In most of nonchemical techniques a nuclear source of energy is necessary as in nuclear electric rockets where the maximum velocity produced is around 20 km/s. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2023 · 5,365 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPresenting a New Equation that Accurately Determines the Size of a Moving Elementary ParticleFlorian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe paper briefly presents a new Eq. (9). The role of Eq. (9) is to accurately determine the size of a moving elementary particle, depending on its velocity (or particle energy). Although Eq. (9) has a general character, it can be applied to any elementary particle in motion to determine the size of that particle, in the study, it was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 24 Nov 2022 · 6,475 accessesView PDF Cite
