  2. Decay theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decay_theory

    The Decay theory is a theory that proposes that memory fades due to the mere passage of time. Information is therefore less available for later retrieval as time passes and memory, as well as memory strength, wears away. [1] When an individual learns something new, a neurochemical "memory trace" is created.

  3. Fermi's interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi's_interaction

    Fermi's Theory was the first theoretical effort in describing nuclear decay rates for β decay. The interaction could also explain muon decay via a coupling of a muon, electron-antineutrino, muon-neutrino and electron, with the same fundamental strength of the interaction. This hypothesis was put forward by Gershtein and Zeldovich and is known ...

  4. Distance decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_decay

    Distance decay is a geographical term which describes the effect of distance on cultural or spatial interactions. [1] The distance decay effect states that the interaction between two locales declines as the distance between them increases. Once the distance is outside of the two locales' activity space, their interactions begin to decrease.

  5. Exponential decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_decay

    Exponential decay is a scalar multiple of the exponential distribution (i.e. the individual lifetime of each object is exponentially distributed), which has a well-known expected value. We can compute it here using integration by parts .

  6. Weak interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_interaction

    e. In nuclear physics and particle physics, the weak interaction, also called the weak force is one of the four known fundamental interactions, with the others being electromagnetism, the strong interaction, and gravitation. It is the mechanism of interaction between subatomic particles that is responsible for the radioactive decay of atoms ...

  7. Proton decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_decay

    Proton decay. The pattern of weak isospins, weak hypercharges, and color charges for particles in the Georgi–Glashow model. Here, a proton, consisting of two up quarks and a down, decays into a pion, consisting of an up and anti-up, and a positron, via an X boson with electric charge − 4 3 e. In particle physics, proton decay is a ...

  8. Bateman equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bateman_equation

    In nuclear physics, the Bateman equation is a mathematical model describing abundances and activities in a decay chain as a function of time, based on the decay rates and initial abundances. The model was formulated by Ernest Rutherford in 1905 [1] and the analytical solution was provided by Harry Bateman in 1910. [2]

  9. Grand Unified Theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Unified_Theory

    In addition to Standard Model particles, the theory includes twelve colored X bosons, responsible for proton decay. SU(5) is the simplest GUT. The smallest simple Lie group which contains the standard model , and upon which the first Grand Unified Theory was based, is
