- 1 Science & Technology News Service New particle is double trouble for physicists 17:05 17 November 2003 NewScientist.
- The total mass-energy of a particle is given in special relativity by the equation: M_0 M = ------------ [1] v Sqrt[1 - --] c where M_0 is the particle's rest mass, 0, v is the particle's velocity, and c is the speed of light.
- The evidence for the new particle is a resonance observed when studying the invariant mass combinations of D*- anti-charmed mesons ( dcbar ) with protons ( uud ) and the anti-matter equivalent, D*+ mesons with anti-protons.
- Mass The rest mass of a particle is the mass defined by the energy of the isolated (free) particle at rest, divided by the speed of light squared.
- [ Top ] [ Close Glossary ] Rest Mass The rest mass (m) of a particle is the mass defined by the energy of the isolated (free) particle at rest, divided by the speed of light squared.
