equation
In mathematics, an equation is a mathematical formula that expresses the equality of two expressions, by connecting them with the equals sign . The word ''equation'' and its cognates in other languages may have subtly different meanings; for ...
s in the theory of
nuclear physics
Nuclear physics is the field of physics that studies atomic nuclei and their constituents and interactions, in addition to the study of other forms of nuclear matter.
Nuclear physics should not be confused with atomic physics, which studies th ...
and
particle physics
Particle physics or high-energy physics is the study of Elementary particle, fundamental particles and fundamental interaction, forces that constitute matter and radiation. The field also studies combinations of elementary particles up to the s ...

Nuclear structure
Nuclear decay
Nuclear scattering theory
The following apply for the nuclear reaction:
:''a'' + ''b'' ↔ ''R'' → ''c''
in the
centre of mass frame, where ''a'' and ''b'' are the initial species about to collide, ''c'' is the final species, and ''R'' is the
resonant state.
Fundamental forces
These equations need to be refined such that the notation is defined as has been done for the previous sets of equations.
