[edit] particle box
I started on a particle infobox as well here: User:Ravedave/ElmParticletest and you can see a sample here: User:Ravedave/ElmParticleInfoBox before I found this page. I think some of the features should be mixed. -Ravedave (help name my baby) 21:37, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Parameters
I'd like to see these added (more like the box at Electron):
- Type - Elementary / Composite (opt)
- Image (opt)
- Image caption (opt)
- Interaction as a seperate list not in the classification (opt)
- Generation as seperate parameter
- Decay time (opt)
- Discovered? Described? Thoerized? date (opt)
- Discoverer( opt)
I'd also like to see the infobox be a little more layman freindly. Is there a link for generation? Can the fact that the particle is from the decay of the listed particles be addressed? What do you think? -Ravedave (help name my baby) 21:59, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- These are now in place. In the order they appear in your bullet list, the parameters are composition, image, caption, interaction, generation, decay_time, discovered and theorized (the latter two are intended for both the person and the date). I've wikilinked generation, as well as any others that I could find. I'm not sure what you mean by your second question - could you elaborate? If there's any other parameters that you (or anyone reading this) think should be added, please shout out. Mike Peel 08:51, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- Nice!! I updated the photon page. Much better. The links on the titles help immensly. Never mind my second question. I shotened Fundamental interaction to just interaction so it fits the box better. I am going to update the existing boxes a bit and maybe try my hand at electron I can't think of any additional fields quite yet. -Ravedave (help name my baby) 23:39, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
What about the parity? The best way would be to do it like in the PDG booklet: I(J^{PC}) --Paul Wenk 14:09, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Is parity the same as chirality?--Michael C. Price talk 04:14, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
Added some new fields for more obscure quantities trying to stay as true to the original scheme. Most will be used rarely... also added a field to put in the above PDG form... still working on a good name, but for now it is Condensed Symmetries naturalnumber (talk) 09:03, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Composite particles
I added the Infobox to Meson, I am not sure about the family and group though. I would like to try and get the infobox up to snuff for composite particles on meson then add it to other pages. Also there needs to be a wikilink for "Composite" but currently Composite particle redirects to Bound state which doesn't really describe it. -Ravedave (help name my baby) 17:47, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Compton wavelength
Should this infobox also include the Compton wavelength? Thanks.—RJH (talk) 18:39, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Family?
This template currently uses the term "family" for fermion/boson/etc.. This is possibly confusing since in particle physics family is a synonym for generation (particle physics). Does anybody have a source for the term "family" being used for this property. If not, any suggestions for an alternative name. Statistics maybe? (TimothyRias (talk) 14:35, 27 July 2009 (UTC))
