# Tags

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Using the right tags makes it easier for others to find and answer your question.

 Type to find tags:
 computation× 37 just because the question requires a computation! computational-physics× 192 Subdiscipline of theoretical physics which consists in the study of physics problems using numerical algorithms. PLEASE NOTE that questions about computational methods and/or programming are OFF-TOPIC… computer× 23 condensation× 22 condensed-matter× 896 The study of physical properties condensed phases of matter, including solids and liquids. conductors× 48 confinement× 21 a tag for color confinement. conformal-field-theory× 283 conservation-laws× 396 The statement that a property of a system does not change if the system is isolated. constrained-dynamics× 84 continuum-mechanics× 100 a branch of mechanics that deals with the analysis of the kinematics and the mechanical behavior of materials modeled as a continuous mass rather than as discrete particles. convection× 53 transport mechanism involving bulk motion of a medium conventions× 112 a set of agreed, stipulated, or generally accepted norms. It typically helps common efficiency or understanding but is not required, as opposed to a strict standard or protocol. cooling× 10 coordinate-systems× 186 quantify location in space. coriolis-effect× 24 coriolis-force× 11 correlation-function× 70 cosmic-censorship× 9 cosmic-rays× 35 Usually referring to stable high energy elementary particles - cosmic rays were found to arrive the Earth from galactic and extragalactic sources and interact with the atmosphere. The energies of this… cosmological-constant× 52 cosmological-inflation× 154 Cosmological inflation refers to an era of expansion that lasted for approximately $10^{-34}$ seconds, during which the universe expanded by a factor of approximately $10^26$ in every direction. This … cosmology× 1056 The study of the large-scale structure, history, and future of the universe. Cosmology is about asking and answering questions about the "big picture" - the extent, origin, and fate of everything we k… couette-flow× 3 coulombs-law× 105 A fundamental and empirical law quantifying the electrostatic force between two charges. coupled-oscillators× 25 covariance× 65 How a quantity behaves under a change of basis vectors. This tag covers relativistic covariance, as well as contravariant and covariant tensors not necessarily in the context of relativity. DO NOT USE… cpt-symmetry× 30 cpt-violation× 6 cp-violation× 37 is a property of a system or theory where the combined charge conjugation (replacing particles with their anti-particles) and parity (reversing the sign of every vector, equivalent to reflecting the s… critical-phenomena× 19 cross-section× 42 the name given to a hypothetical unit of area (often in units of Barns) for measuring the probability of scattering events in particles collisions. DO NOT USE THIS TAG for a physic… cryogenics× 13 concerned with temperatures below 123 K (-150 deg C), widespread usage in gas liquefaction and storage, vacuum science and supercondcutivity crystals× 129 current× 305 A measure of the rate at which electric charge is transported (especially through a circuit), it has units of charge/time. curvature× 194 Use this for questions pertaining to curvature of manifolds. Does not need to be specific to general relativity, but also for curvature of e.g. a [tag:calabi-yau] manifold.
