B-factoryIn particle physics, a B-factory, or sometimes a beauty factory, is a particle collider experiment designed to produce and detect a large number of B mesons so that their properties and behavior can be measured with small statistical uncertainty. Tau leptons and D mesons are also copiously produced at B-factories. A sort of "prototype" or "precursor" B-factory was the HERA-B experiment at DESY that was planned to study B-meson physics in the 1990–2000s, before the actual B-factories were constructed/operational.
BELLE (expérience)L’expérience Belle est une expérience de physique des particules menée par la "Collaboration" BELLE, une équipe temporaire internationale de 400 physiciens et ingénieurs, pour la recherche des effets de la violation de symétrie CP, et conduite à l’Organisation de Recherche de l’Accélérateur des hautes Énergies (K2K), à Tsukuba, Préfecture d'Ibaraki, au Japon. Le détecteur Belle est précisément positionné au point de collision de l'accélérateur , un collisionneur à énergie asymétrique électron-antiélectron.
Generalized chi-squared distributionIn probability theory and statistics, the generalized chi-squared distribution (or generalized chi-square distribution) is the distribution of a quadratic form of a multinormal variable (normal vector), or a linear combination of different normal variables and squares of normal variables. Equivalently, it is also a linear sum of independent noncentral chi-square variables and a normal variable. There are several other such generalizations for which the same term is sometimes used; some of them are special cases of the family discussed here, for example the gamma distribution.
G-testIn statistics, G-tests are likelihood-ratio or maximum likelihood statistical significance tests that are increasingly being used in situations where chi-squared tests were previously recommended. The general formula for G is where is the observed count in a cell, is the expected count under the null hypothesis, denotes the natural logarithm, and the sum is taken over all non-empty cells. Furthermore, the total observed count should be equal to the total expected count:where is the total number of observations.
Arenium ionAn arenium ion in organic chemistry is a cyclohexadienyl cation that appears as a reactive intermediate in electrophilic aromatic substitution. For historic reasons this complex is also called a Wheland intermediate, after American chemist George Willard Wheland (1907–1976). They are also called sigma complexes. The smallest arenium ion is the benzenium ion (C6H7+), which is protonated benzene. Two hydrogen atoms bonded to one carbon lie in a plane perpendicular to the benzene ring.
