message: Is the constituent mass the same as the mass of a "free quark"? If so, isn't 300MeV slightly too light, since nucleons (3 quarks minus binding energy) are ~940 MeV? Cesiumfrog (talk) 01:18, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  binding energy 

message: From quark, section on mass, QCBE link re-directs to QCD article, which doesn't mention QCBE at all. The mass section does give a link to constituent quark. Mabe QCBE could be defined in this article, since it seems to be concerned with how the gluon cloud around valence quarks contributes to the hadron mass, if I am reading correctly. It doesn't seem unreasonable for QCBE to be defined somewhere where the reader can find it from a link. My apologies if it is defined somewhere and I haven't seen it yet.Puzl bustr (talk) 18:18, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I was bold and added a binding energy section with my own definition, which is naive and almost certainly wrong, but takes into account quark confinement and the idea that the strong force can pull quark-antiquark pairs out of the vacuum at high energies. By all means replace this with a correct definition, which I was unable to find despite much searching. Also, please do add a reference for the constituent quark masses.Puzl bustr (talk) 06:21, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Hedwig Courths-Mahler

message: In this context the right link for such a classification would be to the term formula fiction. I am German and I will try to translate the German topic into English. I started by changing the tag to the town where she died (according the German page which should be more correct). I removed the category tag to the German category Trivialliteratur as it is non-existing in this english wiki.

Talk:Delayed nuclear radiation

message: What I think this article is saying is that Ga-73 decays to an excited state of Ge-73 by beta-decay; this excited state then converts to Ge-73m2 by the successive emission of two gamma-ray photons; the collapse to the ground state then hangs up; and finally proceeds via two more gamma-ray photon emissions, and the internal conversion of an orbital electron (not necessarily in that order).
But the usage I've seen for delayed radiation is the prompt (microsecond scale or faster) emission of gamma, alpha, neutron or proton after a beta-decay, which is different, and which is also what is pointed at in the animations. (I haven't worked out why there aren't alpha-delayed decay modes, but I can't find any mention of such, so I presume there is a reason for the non-existence.)
I also suspect that Ga-73 can decay to more than one excited state of Ge-73, and each of these can collapse to the ground state by alternate paths. Lavateraguy (talk) 22:35, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Dosimetry

message: I would have though that the discussion of radiobiology, (eg. effective dose and equivalent dose) should occur elsewhere.  This article should keep itself to discussion of how to measure dose, and link to the relevant radiobiology pages. Martin.speleo (talk) 09:19, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Radiobiology? 

message: I have needed to make a number of changes to this very muddled and inaccurate page. The measures of dose were not defined properly and there appeared to be confusion between dose equivalent (an archaic term that is rarely used now) and effective dose. Calculation of E is based on equivalent dose (in Sv), not absorbed dose (in Gy) as stated. The standard of English was quite poor and the page would be of little use to a lay person (e.g. someone with no previous knowledge who is concerned about a dose they may have received). The page needs a lot more work, including insertion of references.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xapbpoh (talk • contribs) 10:34, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

message: I agree with the proposal to merge.

Talk:Double electron capture

message: Double electron capture is a decay mode of atomic nucleus. For a nuclide (A, Z) with number of nucleons A and atomic number Z, double electron capture is only possible if the mass of the nuclide of (A, Z-2) is lower.
How is this ever possible? If you count the mass of a neutron and proton as equal, the mass would remain the same. If you use the real mass then the proton has a slightly smaller mass then (A, Z-2) would have a somewhat higher mass. Can someone explain this to me? --84.246.55.33 12:22, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The mass of a nucleus is the mass of the protons, plus the mass of the neutrons, minus the mass defect. The whole is less than the sum of its parts. This mass defect is just the binding energy (divided by -c^2) that it would take to pull the nucleus apart. Since selenium-78 has higher binding energy than krypton-78, it has less mass. You can look up the binding energy (or, for that matter, the primary decay modes) of any nuclide at Wikipedia, or various other sources. --69.107.81.199 17:59, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Conditions 

message: Why is the decay mode of , , and  listed as εε everywhere (in the main page, the pages of corresponding isotopes, double beta decay and list of nuclides) instead of β+β+, if they can all decay via double positron emission? Is it that their double positron emission is not observed?
By the way, a decay energy exceeding 2.044 MeV is seemingly high, but none of 78Kr, 96Ru, 106Cd, 124Xe, 130Ba, 136Ce, 148Gd and 154Dy has higher decay energy than the double beta minus decay energy of 48Ca (4.2736 MeV), 96Zr (3.3477 MeV) or 150Nd (3.36768 MeV). 129.104.241.214 (talk) 21:54, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Effective half-life

replies: text: More than half of the article is incorrect. Please delete the whole thing. Jclerman (talk) 06:30, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Delete. 

message: This is not redundant with Biological half-life. Biological half-life is, as it says here, one component of effective half-life.  I think the problem is that the first paragraph defines "effective half-life" as the sum of all elimination mechanisms, and biological half-life is also defined as the sum of all elimination mechanisms.  The difference, not clarified here, is that in the former, "elimination" is taken to include all the elimination mechanisms of biological half-life, plus additional mechanisms that reduce the substance's effectiveness--in the radionucleotide example, radioactive decay.
Another problem is how this relates to the use of "effective half-life" for indirect drugs like warfarin. Warfarin inhibits the production of coagulation factors, so its effect initially rises over time rather than decaying with time, as those factors are cleared from the blood.  The "effective half-life of warfarin" seems to mean the time after which half of those coagulation factors have been cleared from the blood, rather than measuring the half-life of warfarin itself.  In that case "effective half-life" is intended to mean the half-life of the inhibited factors--but this is not a true half-life, since the curve describing their concentration over time will not be an exponential decay.

thread_title:  Medical Article? 

message: The medical tag should be removed, that's pure physics. 
Also, the first sentence is wrong, since it is not  "... per interval of time interest". It always is energy per area. A particle can be assigned a certain energy (hν for a photon, kinetic energy for an electron), hence, number of particles per area can be transformed to energy per area by multiplying it with energy per particle.
I wouldn't relate it to the flux, that's confusing and most people would have to look up flux then (also in electromagnetics, the flux is called intensity). One can mention later that flux/intensity is the derivative of fluence with respect to time. 
An exact and official definition could be found here: "Journal of the ICRU (2011) 11(1)" but this costs actual money.
 
Suggestion for a start (and to remove the wrong sentence): 
In physics, fluence F is the amount of energy E traversing a certain area A, F=E/A. The term fluence can also be applied to particles, then it is a certain number of particles N traversing a certain area A, F=N/A. However in the latter case, the correct term would be particle fluence.

Talk:HM Prison Wakefield

message: This and several other maximum-security prison pages include a list of notorious criminals (mainly murderers) under "current inmates". Such prisoners are regularly moved around the cat A estate- Ian Huntley has been in at least 4 jails for example just from news stories about him- and as far as I know, moves between prisons are not normally made public. Unless someone who edits this page works at Wakefield or has connections inside the Prison Service, how do we know who the current inmates are? The links are often to newspaper reports several years ago.
This came to mind when I saw David Bieber was listed. He was originally sent to Whitemoor, then Woodhill Close Supervision Centre, then Wakefield and according to today's papers he is at Frankland in their 12 cell underground DSPD as an Exceptional Risk inmate (which he is challenging.) Therefore he does not fit under current inmates and as I explained above I'm not sure if any of the others do.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.41.232.70 (talk) 22:26, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
