The scattering of gravitons in string theory can also be computed from the correlation functions in conformal field theory, as dictated by the AdS / CFT correspondence, or from Matrix theory.

The full theory does not yet have a satisfactory definition in all circumstances, since the scattering of strings is most straightforwardly defined by a perturbation theory.

And he proposed a theory that they were produced in interstellar space as by-products of the fusion of hydrogen atoms into the heavier elements, and that secondary electrons were produced in the atmosphere by Compton scattering of gamma rays.

Typically, the theory and applications of emission, absorption, scattering of electromagnetic radiation ( light ) from excited atoms and molecules, analysis of spectroscopy, generation of lasers and masers, and the optical properties of matter in general, fall into these catergories.

Scattering theory is a framework for studying and understanding the scattering of waves and particles.

In the Mie regime, the shape of the scattering center becomes much more significant and the theory only applies well to spheres and, with some modification, spheroids and ellipsoids.

In order to model weather systems, atmospheric physicists employ elements of scattering theory, wave propagation models, cloud physics, statistical mechanics and spatial statistics which are highly mathematical and related to physics.

He studied probability theory, the scattering of electrons, and the discharges of electric eels.

* Mie theory or Mie scattering, a solution of Maxwell's equations for the scattering of electromagnetic radiation

( See Feshbach – Fano partitioning method for the context where such operators appear in scattering theory ).

At larger values of the ratio of particle diameter to wavelength, the scattering varies in a complex fashion described, for spherical particles, by the Mie theory ; at a ratio of the order of 10, the laws of geometric optics begin to apply.

This is accomplished at the level of perturbation theory by finding a collection of vertices for joining and splitting strings, as well as string propagators, that give a Feynman diagram-like expansion for string scattering amplitudes.

For example, twistor string theory may simplify calculating scattering amplitudes from Feynman diagrams.

In 1955, a series of proton scattering experiments led to the discovery of the anti-proton, a particle exactly like a proton except negatively charged.

Once the team is certain they have located the critical point, they will conduct a series of precise measurements in the area surrounding it using laser light scattering.

: For a series of work " Elementary processes and non-elastic scattering at nuclear collisions ”.

As it seems that the vertices of non-regularized Feynman series adequately describe interactions in quantum scattering, it is taken that their ultraviolet divergences are due to the asymptotic, high-energy behavior of the Feynman propagators.

As the QED vertices are considered to adequately describe interactions in QED scattering, it make sense to modify only the free-field part of the Lagrangian density so as to obtain such regularized Feynman series that the Lehmann-Symanzik-Zimmermann reduction formula provides a perturbative S-matrix that: ( i ) is Lorentz invariant and unitary ; ( ii ) involves only the QED particles ; ( iii ) depends solely on QED parameters and those introduced by the modification of the Feynman propagators — for particular values of these parameters it is equal to the QED perturbative S-matrix ; and ( iv ) exhibits the same symmetries as the QED perturbative S-matrix.

The FSA is most commonly used in optics, specifically when working with Jones Calculus because the electromagnetic wave is typically followed through a series of optical components that represent separate scattering events.

Arthur Wightman formulated the axioms in the early 1950s but they were first published only in 1964, after Haag-Ruelle scattering theory affirmed their significance.

He built a new theory of scattering matrices, formulated the concept of microscopical causality, obtained important results in quantum electrodynamics, and investigated on the basis of the edge-of-the-wedge theorem the dispersion relations in elementary particle physics.

This pressed the Classical style inwards: towards seeking greater ensemble and technical challenge — for example, scattering the melody across woodwinds, or using thirds to highlight the melody taken by them.

Some colloids are translucent because of the Tyndall effect, which is the scattering of light by particles in the colloid.

Coulomb and Mott scattering measurements can be made by using electron beams as scattering probes, and similarly, positron annihilation can be used as an indirect measurement of local electron density.

The event consists of a number of individual contra dances, divided by a scattering of other partner dances, perhaps one or more waltzes, schottisches, polkas, or Swedish hambos.

The scattering cross-section, σ < sub > scat </ sub >, is a hypothetical area which describes the likelihood of light ( or other radiation ) being scattered by a particle.

The total amount of scattering in a sparse medium is determined by the product of the scattering cross-section and the number of particles present.

The K-corona ( K for kontinuierlich, " continuous " in German ) is created by sunlight scattering off free electrons ; Doppler broadening of the reflected photospheric absorption lines completely obscures them, giving the spectral appearance of a continuum with no absorption lines.

A diaspora ( from Greek διασπορά, " scattering, dispersion ") is " the movement, migration, or scattering of people away from an established or ancestral homeland " or " people dispersed by whatever cause to more than one location ", or " people settled far from their ancestral homelands ".

The existence of the electroweak interactions was experimentally established in two stages, the first being the discovery of neutral currents in neutrino scattering by the Gargamelle collaboration in 1973, and the second in 1983 by the UA1 and the UA2 collaborations that involved the discovery of the W and Z gauge bosons in proton – antiproton collisions at the converted Super Proton Synchrotron.

Both of these films had intertitles which were formed by the letters moving into place from a random scattering to form the words of the titles.

When calculating scattering cross sections in particle physics, the interaction between particles can be described by starting from a free field which describes the incoming and outgoing particles, and including an interaction Hamiltonian to describe how the particles deflect one another.

Hyperbolas arise in practice in many ways: as the curve representing the function in the Cartesian plane, as the appearance of a circle viewed from within it, as the path followed by the shadow of the tip of a sundial, as the shape of an open orbit ( as distinct from a closed and hence elliptical orbit ), such as the orbit of a spacecraft during a gravity assisted swing-by of a planet or more generally any spacecraft exceeding the escape velocity of the nearest planet, as the path of a single-apparition comet ( one travelling too fast to ever return to the solar system ), as the scattering trajectory of a subatomic particle ( acted on by repulsive instead of attractive forces but the principle is the same ), and so on.

It is implausible that the outgoing state would be completely determined by some tiny residual scattering.

Historian Eric Hobsbawm has called their machine wrecking " collective bargaining by riot ", which had been a tactic used in Britain since the Restoration, as the scattering of manufactories throughout the country made large-scale strikes impractical.

However, blurring is not caused by random processes, such as light scattering, but can be well defined by the optical properties of the image formation in the microscope imaging system.

Polymers with a degree of crystallinity approaching zero or one will tend to be transparent, while polymers with intermediate degrees of crystallinity will tend to be opaque due to light scattering by crystalline or glassy regions.

Modern particle physics research is focused on subatomic particles, including atomic constituents such as electrons, protons, and neutrons ( protons and neutrons are composite particles called baryons, made of quarks ), produced by radioactive and scattering processes, such as photons, neutrinos, and muons, as well as a wide range of exotic particles.

Although these semiclassical models contributed to the development of quantum mechanics, many further experiments starting with Compton scattering of single photons by electrons, first observed in 1923, validated Einstein's hypothesis that light itself is quantized.
