Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
Nuclear & Particle Physics
TeV (Tera-electronvolts)
The world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator, located in a 27-kilometer underground circular tunnel at CERN near Geneva.
Center-of-Mass Energy √s = 13.6 TeV
Leptons
Nuclear & Particle Physics
Elementary Particle Class
A family of elementary spin-1/2 fermions that do not experience the strong nuclear interaction.
Spin = ½, Baryon Number B = 0, Lepton Number L = 1
Liquid Drop Model
Nuclear & Particle Physics
MeV (Binding Energy Calculation)
A classical nuclear model treating the atomic nucleus as an incompressible liquid droplet of dense nuclear fluid bound by short-range nuclear forces.
E_b = a_v A - a_s A^(2/3) - a_c Z²/A^(1/3) - a_a (A-2Z)²/A + δ
