Word: J/psi particle Part of Speech: noun Etymology: A compound of J, ψ (ps) (psi), and particle. The particle was discovered independently in 1974 by two research groups, leading to the "November Revolution" in particle physics. * The group led by Samuel Ting at Brookhaven National Laboratory proposed the name J, reputedly because the shape of the Chinese character for Ting (丁) resembles a J, though Ting also cited the symbol for electromagnetic current, j_μ(x), as a reason. * The group led by Burton Richter at SLAC proposed the name ψ (psi). Richter initially preferred "SP" (for the SPEAR accelerator), but chose "psi" as it contained "SP" in reverse order and was the only remaining Greek letter deemed suitable; coincidently, the particle's decay pattern in spark chambers resembled the letter ψ. The compromise name J/ψ was adopted to acknowledge both discoveries. Pronunciation: /ˌdʒeɪ ˈsaɪ ˈpɑːtɪkl̩/, /ˌdʒeɪ ˈsaɪ ˈpɑɹtɪkəl/, /ˌdʒeɪ ˈpsaɪ ˈpɑɹtɪkəl/ 1.

Labels: countable, uncountable Example: Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations often used to result in a hangover, but with moderation now the order of the day the new drinks industry buzzword is "coasting". This involves choosing a white wine, lager or even a cocktail that is about half the strength of the traditional version — meaning you can have the same number of drinks without feeling the worse for wear. Vanessa Pearson, Ocado Retail's trading manager for beers, wines and spirits, credits "coasting" for a "huge increase in customer interest in mid-strength wine". In 2025 its sales of these types of wines soared 4,000% as the new category gained ground. "Mid-strength" drinks occupy the middle ground between no and low-alcohol (nolo) and standard options, and such beers and ciders are about 2-3% alcohol by volume, wines 3-9% and spirits 15-20%. The advent of coasting chimes with data showing Britons are drinking less alcohol than before. The average UK adult consumed 10.2 alcoholic drinks a week in 2024, according to the latest figures from the drinks industry data company IWSR. This is the lowest figure since data collection began in 1990 and down from a high of 14 weekly drinks two decades ago. However, total abstention is not on the rise despite the decline in consumption, which suggests more cautious drinking habits.
