← Back to Domain-Specific Abstractions by Domain

3 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Particle Physics.

  • Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa matrix — A unitary matrix relating quark flavor eigenstates to weak-interaction eigenstates in the Standard Model.
  • Eightfold way (physics) — An SU(3)-flavor symmetry classification organizing hadrons into multiplets by isospin and hypercharge.
  • Grand Unified Theory — A particle-physics model that embeds the strong, weak and electromagnetic gauge interactions in one larger gauge symmetry at high energy.
