Standard Definition and 1000 Threads

I've always understood that the "formula" for the Standard Model is SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1). Since the discovery of the Higgs boson, and observations of neutrino flavor oscillations, has that formula been revised, or is it still the same?

My thermodynamics textbook says that chemical potential can take any of the following symbols: μ (condition-dependent), μ∇ (standard), μΘ (standard) (superscript plimsoll line) and μO (standard), with which one of the latter 3 being used depending on the temperature chosen to define standard...

Hello, I am wondering how to make a standard additions curve for this experiment. In this experiment, we used cyclic voltammetry to determine the original concentration of an elixir. We diluted the elixir to 0.75mM based on a claimed concentration of acetaminophen (instructed) and an elixir...

Homework Statement Find the standard matrix representation for each of the following linear operators: L is the linear operator that reflects each vector x in R2 about the x1 axis and then rotates it 90° in the counterclockwise direction. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution So my...

How many internal degrees of freedom does it have? In other words, how many 4d real functions do we have to specify in configuration space (i mean the space we use in Path integration) in order to specify a state? It is difficult to state the question, so, in order to be more precise, the...

How do I work out the standard deviation of a set of variables where the frequency changes by a certain factor each time, but where there is no limit on the number of variables? Let's just use "test scores" as an example because that's easy to understand. The average is 80; 1 in 5 people...

Hi, I was just wondering why there are a finite number of fundamental particles in the universe. Why is it that when cern collide particles, the same particles are formed every time. Its like putting a hammer to a concrete block and every time you do so, the same chips with the same shape and...

Homework Statement Question: Refer to Fig. 6-5. This standard TTL 2-input NAND gate uses ______ (open-collector, totem pole) outputs. Solution: The 2-input TTL NAND gate in Fig. 6-5 (which is attached as "TheFigure.jpg") uses a totem pole output configuration. Homework Equations N/A...

From my basic understanding of the standard model it tries to identify the different kinds of particles, understand their functions and their subsequent sub atomic particles. But as particles and forces break down into smaller components, do they also build up into bigger components? For...

Hi, The standard enthalpy of formation of carbon gas or C(g) is the enthalpy change for the formation of 1 mole of carbon gas from its elements in their reference form which for carbon (I believe) is C(graphite). Now I find the following standard enthalpy of formation for carbon gas / C(g)...

Homework Statement I know that standard error is to calculate how the sample deviate from the population. But standard deviation divide √n ,then will get it. And I don't understand why there is a T/n from the picture I uploaded. Please help Homework Equations Standard error x sqrt(n)...

I have a few questions for my homework assignments for solving limits, but in order to do those questions I have to use a few standard limits that we haven't been taught, which means I'll have to prove them. I know these can be done using L'Hopital's rule, but we haven't covered that yet so I...

I'm an undergrad physics student and have to write an essay on the Higgs boson and the future of the standard model. I don't need to have a comprehensive understanding of the maths underpinning it all, but it's quite difficult to find any undergraduate level reading on the subject. I'm currently...

Homework Statement I need to know the concentration in ppm of a standard Fe2+ solution. (diluted) Here is the data I have. I have 0.1964 g of Fe solution the purity is 99.7% The original solution was the above # of g in 250ml water. 10ml of this was then pipetted into a 100ml volumetric flask...

Homework Statement I've still yet to learn Latex since I'm pretty good with words equation editor, so here's the question typed out in words. Homework Equations I really don't know what to do here. The Attempt at a Solution

Ok, so for a give function f(x) it's curve length from a to b is supposed to be ∫(1+(f '(x))^2)dx evaluated from a to b. However even wolfram alpha had a hard time solving that, plus the results were wrong. What am I missing? PS: With f(x)= sqrt(r^2-x^2)

I realize you can transform the data in many ways, but I really can't find a method to solve this particular scenario anywhere online: Suppose you are given the mean and standard deviation of a set of data. Further suppose you take away (get rid of) "x" elements in the original data set, and...

Marcus suggested that the nuMSM deserves its own thread and I agree. The nuMSM is the context in which the Shaposhnikov-Wetterich prediction of the Higgs mass was made. (PF thread.) A search on "nuMSM" at InspireHEP turns up 29 papers, a lot of them about cosmology. Shaposhnikov in...

Hi, I have a standard cell which I would like to rotate. I would like to rotate it in such a way such that when I define some plane in the unrotated cell [hkl] that this same plane corresponds to the [001] plane in the rotated cell. I essentially want to keep the same unit cell, just rotate the...

So I'm a little confused about what a standard candle tells us exactly. From what I understand, it means that the luminosity is relatively constant. Does this tell me something about apparent or absolute magnitudes? Like if a supernova has a peak brightness of an apparent magnitude of 0.7, does...

more than "two standard deviations away from its mean" Suppose we need to find the probability that a binomial random variable with n = 100 and p = 0.5 is more than two standard deviations away from its mean and then compare this to the upper bound given by Chebyshev's Theorem. What is...

Don't be fooled by the word "conformal". This is not "AdS/CFT" stuff. The math is not stringy. It is very largely the conventional standard model. They've found a way to extend it's applicability and make more radical changes unnecessary. Furthermore it's testable. Here's what Meissner and...

Hi everybody! I've hit a blank with regards to this 1 equation on a old exam paper - think I've overloaded myself a bit and just feel a bit like a airhead at the moment! I understand the actual method and getting to the answer but it starts off with a equation which you then need to get to...

Hi all I just read Hestenes paper He has a massless electron which rotates about a fixed point at the speed of light . (look at eqns 8 9 10 and fig 1) I wonder if this is in the standard model or beyond? What is the lagragian of this "zitter" model?

Using the standard normal table in your lecture notes, calculate to four decimal places Table file:///Users/manukumarindia/Desktop/Screen%20Shot%202012-10-29%20at%2011.12.15%20AM.png Work done so far. If X ~ N(22,4), z = (x - 22)/sqrt(4) ~ N(0,1) Thus, P(22 <= X <= 25) = P((22-22)/2 <= z...

Why is the standard entropy of aqueous ions negative? I thought it could be no less than 0, which represents a perfect crystal at 0 K? Is it negative so that calculations can be performed properly? Or is it because it because ions solutes actually have less entropy than a perfect crystal?

Homework Statement I am using a value of change in y say 12.10 cm + or - .06cm. I am trying to find velocity using the formula v= sqrt(2*g*change in y) how do I evaluate this equation with my standard error? because I can't just add or subtract the .06cm after since I will have a...
