What technologies can be considered as offsprings of particle physics?
(both everyday-life technologies and others).

ZapperZ said:Er... that would be stretching it JUST a little bit. :)

Stretching...why ? Do you deny the importance of say, Goldstone's work to CM and specifically to Superconductivity ?ZapperZ said:Er... that would be stretching it JUST a little bit. :)

I don't know. I've come across the term here and there in the context of tJ models, but never bothered to take the time to look harder, or dig out the history.ZapperZ said:BTW, I could have sworn that the concept of "slave boson" has already appeared before the name "Goldstone boson" appears in CM, no?
I stumbled across an interesting book -ahrkron said:What technologies can be considered as offsprings of particle physics?

The investigation of the properties of condensed matter using experimental nuclear methods is becoming increasingly important. An extremely broad range of techniques is used, including the use of particles, such as positrons and neutrons, ion beams, and the detection of radiation from nuclear decays or nuclear reactions. Nuclear Condensed Matter Physics: Nuclear Methods and Applications is the only book to provide a comprehensive coverage of the nuclear methods used to study the properties of condensed matter. It covers all the key techniques, including the Mössbauer effect, perturbed angular correlation, muon spin rotation, neutron scattering, positron annihilation, nuclear magnetic resonance and ion beam analysis. Numerous examples are given throughout the text to illustrate how each of the experimental methods is used in modern condensed matter physics, and practical details concerning instrumentation are included to help the reader apply each method. Nuclear Condensed Matter Physics: Nuclear Methods and Applications is an invaluable textbook for graduate students of condensed matter physics and chemistry, and is of great interest to those studying materials science and applied nuclear physics. It is also a key reference source for more experienced researchers in these and related fields, including nuclear and condensed matter physicists and solid state and inorganic chemists.
