Threshold energy, the Glossary
In particle physics, the threshold energy for production of a particle is the minimum kinetic energy that must be imparted to one of a pair of particles in order for their collision to produce a given result.[1]

- Energy (physics)
Antiproton
The antiproton,, (pronounced p-bar) is the antiparticle of the proton.
See Threshold energy and Antiproton
Atom
Atoms are the basic particles of the chemical elements.
Center-of-momentum frame
In physics, the center-of-momentum frame (COM frame), also known as zero-momentum frame, is the inertial frame in which the total momentum of the system vanishes.
See Threshold energy and Center-of-momentum frame
Collider
A collider is a type of particle accelerator that brings two opposing particle beams together such that the particles collide.
See Threshold energy and Collider
Conservation of energy
The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be ''conserved'' over time. Threshold energy and conservation of energy are energy (physics).
See Threshold energy and Conservation of energy
Crystallographic defect
A crystallographic defect is an interruption of the regular patterns of arrangement of atoms or molecules in crystalline solids.
See Threshold energy and Crystallographic defect
Inelastic collision
An inelastic collision, in contrast to an elastic collision, is a collision in which kinetic energy is not conserved due to the action of internal friction. Threshold energy and inelastic collision are particle physics.
See Threshold energy and Inelastic collision
Invariant mass
The invariant mass, rest mass, intrinsic mass, proper mass, or in the case of bound systems simply mass, is the portion of the total mass of an object or system of objects that is independent of the overall motion of the system. Threshold energy and invariant mass are energy (physics).
See Threshold energy and Invariant mass
Kinetic energy
In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the form of energy that it possesses due to its motion.
See Threshold energy and Kinetic energy
Meson
In particle physics, a meson is a type of hadronic subatomic particle composed of an equal number of quarks and antiquarks, usually one of each, bound together by the strong interaction.
See Threshold energy and Meson
Momentum
In Newtonian mechanics, momentum (momenta or momentums; more specifically linear momentum or translational momentum) is the product of the mass and velocity of an object.
See Threshold energy and Momentum
Particle
In the physical sciences, a particle (or corpuscule in older texts) is a small localized object which can be described by several physical or chemical properties, such as volume, density, or mass.
See Threshold energy and Particle
Particle physics
Particle physics or high-energy physics is the study of fundamental particles and forces that constitute matter and radiation.
See Threshold energy and Particle physics
Pion
In particle physics, a pion or pi meson, denoted with the Greek letter pi, is any of three subatomic particles:,, and.
Proton
A proton is a stable subatomic particle, symbol, H+, or 1H+ with a positive electric charge of +1 e (elementary charge).
See Threshold energy and Proton
Radiation material science
Radiation materials science is a subfield of materials science which studies the interaction of radiation with matter: a broad subject covering many forms of irradiation and of matter.
See Threshold energy and Radiation material science
Special relativity
In physics, the special theory of relativity, or special relativity for short, is a scientific theory of the relationship between space and time.
See Threshold energy and Special relativity
Threshold displacement energy
In materials science, the threshold displacement energy is the minimum kinetic energy that an atom in a solid needs to be permanently displaced from its site in the lattice to a defect position.
