For all we know electrons and quarks are elementary particles, which means that in no experiment has there anything like a structure of these particles been seen. They appear point-like, unlike the proton, neutron, nucleus and atom that have sizes that can be measured. It is, of course, entirely possible that particles that are called elementary today shall turn out to be composite; let it be said though that they have been probed quite extensively.... The aim is to know all about them, their properties and their interactions. The idea is that from this nuclear physics, atomic physics, chemistry, in fact, the whole physical world derives. Thus particles and their interactions are the very fundamentals of nature. That is the view now. An elementary particle physicist studies primarily these elementary particles and not the larger structures such as protons, nuclei or atoms.  1, record 1, English, - elementary%20particle%20physicist

Dans le cas d'un réacteur iso-générateur, la masse de matière fissile est constante dans le cœur, et seule la matière fertile diminue. Ainsi, chaque fission qui a lieu dans le réacteur provient d'un noyau de fertile (non fissile) qui aura auparavant capturé un neutron pour produire un noyau fissile. On ne consomme donc que de la matière fertile.  4, record 3, French, - r%C3%A9acteur%20iso%2Dg%C3%A9n%C3%A9rateur

The theory of physics of heavy-ion transport is well developed, although modeling of the complex interacting processes is only approximate. Generally it states that : nuclei of GCR [galactic cosmic radiation] slowed down as a result of ionization losses, GCR primaries are fragmented as they interact in materials and continue to transport fragments(projectile secondaries), recoil neutrons are formed from proton and neutron collisions, and neutrons, protons and alphas(target secondaries) are produced in inelastic proton collisions.  1, record 4, English, - recoil%20neutron

Neutron physics is concerned primarily with interactions between neutrons and individual nuclei or with the use of neutron beams as analytical devices, whereas reactor physics considers neutrons primarily as fission-producing agents. In the hierarchy of professional classification, neutron physics and reactor physics are both ranked as subfields of the more generalized area of nuclear physics.  2, record 5, English, - neutron%20physics
