Bombard, v

/bɒmˈbɑːd/

to attack a place with continuous shooting or bombs

He brought more of his forces to the island and continued to bombard the fort.

Fission, n

/ˈfɪʃ.ən/

the process of dividing the nucleus of an atom, resulting in the release of a large amount of energy

Now we know of two ways of making nuclear energy: fission and fusion.

Decay, n

/dɪˈkeɪ/

the process by which a radioactive substance changes to a different form, producing radiation

Radon and its decay products are well established as lung carcinogens.

Neutrino, n

/njuːˈtriː.nəʊ/

a very small piece of matter that has no electrical chargeand exists for a very short time, produced during some types of nuclear reactions

future neutrino detectors may also be sensitive to the particles produced when cosmic rays hit the Earth's atmosphere

нейтрино

Isotope, n

/ˈaɪ.sə.təʊp/

a form of an atom that has a different atomic weight from other forms of the same atom but the same chemical structure

This whole group has been exposed to an extremely unstable isotope called cesium-137

изотоп

Half-life, n

/ˈhɑːf.laɪf/

the length of time needed for the radioactivity of a radioactive substance to be reduced by half

The elimination half-life of nicotine in the body is around two hours.

Quark, n

kwɑːk

one of the most basic forms of matter that make up the heavier elementary particles

Atoms are made up of smaller particles - protons, neutrons and electrons - some of which are made up of even smaller ones, called quarks.

Кварк

Lepton, n

ˈlep.tɒn

Any very small piece of matter that is influenced by the weak force. Electrons, muons, and neutrinos are all leptons.

There would be three kinds of leptoquarks made of the leptons and quarks of each generation.

Лептон

Nuclear reactor, n

ˌnjuː.klɪə riˈæk.tər

a large machine that uses nuclear fuel to produce power

Nuclear reactors generally have automatic and manual systems to shut the fission reaction down if monitoring or instrumentation detects unsafe conditions.

Ядерный реактор

Fusion, n

ˈfjuː.ʒən

an occasion when two or more things join or are combined

Fusion powers stars and produces virtually all elements in a process called nucleosynthesis.

Синтез

Antiparticles, n

ˈæn.tiˌpɑː.tɪ.kəls

a particle that makes up antimatter, containing the same amount of matter but having the opposite electrical charge that a regular particle has

Although particles and their antiparticles have opposite charges, electrically neutral particles need not be identical to their antiparticles.

Античастицы

Tokamak, n

ˈtɒkəˌmæk

a toroidal reactor used in thermonuclear experiments, in which a strong helical magnetic field keeps the plasma from contacting the external walls.

While the tokamak addresses the issue of plasma stability in a gross sense, plasmas are also subject to a number of dynamic instabilities.

Токамак

Collider, n

kəˈlaɪ.dər

a machine for forcing particles (= extremely small pieces of matter) to hit each other at high speed so scientists can study what is produced

Colliders may either be ring accelerators or linear accelerators.
