The basic idea leading to parton shower Monte Carlo event generators is to use Eq.... to convert the inclusive prediction for the occurrence of parton a in the beam hadron h into an exclusive prediction for parton a and a certain number of additional particles, which are resolved at smaller and smaller momentum transfer. 3, record 1, English, - parton%20shower%20Monte%20Carlo%20event%20generator

The new particle has a mass of about 3. 1 billion electron volts(3. 1 GeV). That is more than three times the mass of the proton, making the psi one of the heaviest particles known... The psi has a spin angular momentum of 1, the integer unit indicating the particle must be a meson. It is electrically neutral, and it has zero strangeness.... The psi particle also decays through the strong interaction, but it has a lifetime of about [ten to the minus twentieth of a] second, 1, 000 times longer than the lifetime of a typical hadron of comparable mass. 1, record 2, English, - psi
