Talk:Particle physics/Archive 2

Chart
Does wiki already have a chart like this ? I think it would make a nice addition to this (and other) articles.--Deglr6328 07:38, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

"Particle physics" or "Particle Physics"
Should this article be redirected from "Particle physics" to "Particle Physics"? Irpen 23:05, May 23, 2005 (UTC)


 * Please don't redirect. "Particle physics" is in line with Wikipedia's policies on capitalization of article names. -- CYD
 * I sure won't if you say so. I just asked. Irpen

Template of Particle physics
I proposed to create the "template:particle_physics". See the prototype Template:Particle physics.

Long Lived Particles
I was searching the internet for information about long lived particles and didn't see a wikipedia page about them. Could someone make a page link it to the particle physics page?

The French version of this article is superior

 * French version: ( http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physique_des_particules )( http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Physique_des_particules&oldid=91556062 )
 * English version: ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_physics )( http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Particle_physics&oldid=552953925 )

It is clear by this comparison which one is better. The present French version is rated B in its Talk page. The present English version is rated C in its Talk page. The English version is actually much too short at the moment to serve as a proper depiction of particle physics, and the French version shows this quite clearly. Furthermore, particle physics topics naturally should be expressed in a hierarchical manner. The French version groups various topics under subheadings as any subject with substantial content should, yet the English version has a single-level table of contents—evidence of its unthoroughness.siNkarma86—Expert Sectioneer of Wikipedia undefined 16:30, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Particle Table


I made this table (using Wikipedia data), and I thought that it may be useful in this article. Lemesb (talk) 12:52, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
 * With a few stylistic alterations for legibility, this should indeed go into the article. &#9798; CUSH &#9798; 10:12, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

"High energy physics compared to low energy physics"
A persistent editor has twice added this section. It rambles on about particle masses, includes far too many numbers, states several opinions and violates WP:NOR. The part comparing the scales of interactions in HEP vs chemistry and nuclear physics is good. The rest is not. The definition of "low-energy" physics being physics on the macroscopic scale is utterly wrong. Compare cold-atom physics for an extreme example. This whole section just needs to be a couple of sentences at most. Dukwon (talk) 10:01, 11 December 2016 (UTC)


 * I agree with this sentiment. I have two issues with this section.  First, it gets "low-energy" wrong.  There are branches of physics that call themselves low-energy, but in those branches the term has nothing to do with the rest mass of bulk matter.  Second, I never thought term "high energy" was counterintuitive at all, even when I was first introduced to the subject as a young grad student.  Nor have I seen any articles, blogs, books, or reports that made such a claim.  So to me, the entire section is going into great depth to preempt an argument that no one is making.


 * I have no objections to one or two sentences about why we use the term "high energy" (which I would base on the fact that, almost uniquely among branches of physics, the interaction energies are much higher than the rest mass of the objects that are doing the interacting). But as it stands, I think this section gives the reader a false impression that there is some sort of need to defend the term "high energy".  Gdlong (talk) 15:00, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
