The oldest use is probably in cricket, where a hat trick is the dismissal by the bowler of 3 batsmen with 3 consecutive balls, for which the bowler apparently received a bonus of new hat. The term is widely used in hockey and soccer to indicate the scoring of 3 goals by one individual in a single game. Originally the hat trick was the scoring of 3 consecutive unanswered goals, but they need not be consecutive or unanswered to qualify as a hat trick today. The term has also been used of a jockey's riding a winner in 3 consecutive races or winners in an annual race for 3 consecutive years. A notable exception to the 3 successive performances which characterize a hat trick in other sports is its occasional use in baseball to mean that a player has hit for the cycle-a single, double, triple, and home run in one game. 2, record 1, English, - hat%20trick

Au Canada, c'est le terme de hockey sur glace «tour du chapeau» que l'on utilise pour signifier un exploit semblable dans d'autres sports. L'expression s'utilise dans tout sport où des buts se comptent comme au soccer, en hockey sur glace et sur gazon, en ringuette, ou des victoires s'additionnent comme en cyclisme, en course automobile, au tennis, en natation. 3, record 1, French, - tour%20du%20chapeau

The nuclear process that powers the sun. It involves the fusion of nuclei in 3 kinds of collisions. The cycle starts for any one proton when it collides with another. This collision produces a deuterium nucleus, a neutrino that shoots off into space and a position that eventually annihilates a stray electron. Next, the deuterium nucleus is hit by another proton, producing a nucleus of helium-3 and a burst of gamma rays. The helium-3 hits another helium-3, producing a nucleus of inert helium and two protons. These 2 protons now start the proton-proton cycle over again. 4, record 4, English, - proton%2Dproton%20chain

Deep within the sun a series of nuclear reactions called the proton-proton chain converts hydrogen (protons) into helium by merging sets of 4 hydrogen nuclei into one helium nucleus (alpha particle). 4, record 4, English, - proton%2Dproton%20chain

La chaîne proton-proton ne comporte que 3 étapes. Le premier mécanisme est celui des étoiles chaudes, le second celui des étoiles froides. Dans le soleil à la jonction des 2 types d'étoiles, les 2 régimes doivent fonctionner simultanément. Environ 638 millions de tonnes d'hydrogène sont transformés par seconde, dont 0.6 p. 100 est libéré sous forme d'énergie; à ce rythme, la perte de masse par seconde est de 3,83 millions de tonnes. 2, record 4, French, - cycle%20proton%2Dproton

Mais il fallut attendre 1937-1938 avant que la connaissance empirique des sections efficaces de capture ait suffisamment progressé pour permettre à Von Weizsacker et à Bethe d'isoler enfin les deux réactions responsables de la génération d'énergie dans la majorité des étoiles, la chaîne proton-proton et le cycle du carbone, toutes deux transformant quatre protons en un noyau d'hélium; mais par des processus différents. 2, record 4, French, - cycle%20proton%2Dproton
