2 unusual facts about Photon: The Ultimate Game on Planet Earth


Photon: The Ultimate Game on Planet Earth

Dramatic music by Ken Caillat, strobe effects, and smoke machines were used in the arena during games to enhance play.

The company also came out with a home lasertag game, and there were various media tie-ins: a TV show also called Photon and a series of novels by Peter David.


Advanced Telescope for High Energy Astrophysics

As the grazing angle is a function inversely proportional to photon energy, the higher-energy X-rays require smaller (less than 2 degrees) grazing angles to be focused.

Bucky O'Hare

Willy DuWitt – engineer, a pre-teen human from San Francisco who enters the Aniverse via a portal between the ship's photon accelerator and his own accelerator at home.

Electron beam tomography

Electron beam tomography (EBT) is a specific form of computed tomography (CAT or CT) in which the X-ray tube is not mechanically spun in order to rotate the source of X-ray photons.

As in standard X-ray tubes, part of the electron current energy when hitting the tungsten target is converted into photons.

Gamma-ray astronomy

The highest photon energies measured to date are in the TeV range, the record being held by an "extraordinary outburst" of blazar Markarian 501 in 1997, yielding photons with as much as 16 TeV.

Gravitino

At least one possible channel of decay must include either a photon, a charged lepton or a meson, each of which would be energetic enough to destroy a nucleus if it strikes one.

Kenneth L. Schroeder

Schroeder has been a member of the Board of Directors of KLA-Tencor, Adept Technology, Photon Dynamics, Gasonics (now a division of (Novellus), Genus, Semiconductor Equipment and Materials Institute (SEMI) and Semi-Sematech.

Mosler Automotive

A Photon variant is available which adds a Hewland transmission, thinwall subframes, BBS magnesium wheels, titanium springs, and carbon fiber seats and bodywork, reducing the car's mass to 1,980 lb (900 kg).

Patsy Walker

Following this, she was an ensemble star and narrator, alongside the superheroines Firestar, Black Cat, and Photon, in the miniseries Marvel Divas #1-4 (Sept.-Dec. 2009), which writers Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Tonci Zonjic had pitched it to Marvel editors as "Sex and the City in the Marvel Universe".

Photoemission spectroscopy

The term refers to various techniques, depending on whether the ionization energy is provided by an X-ray photon, an EUV photon, or an ultraviolet photon.

Precision tests of QED

One type of these tests, for example, work by checking Coulomb's law at high accuracy, as Coulomb's law would be modified if the photon mass were nonzero.

Purcell effect

The Purcell effect can also be useful for modeling single-photon sources for Quantum cryptography.

Silicon photomultiplier

The idea behind this device is the detection of single photon events in sequentially connected Si APDs.

Silicon photomultipliers, often called "SiPM" in the literature, are Silicon single photon sensitive devices built from an avalanche photodiode (APD) array on common Si substrate.

Two-photon absorption

The molecular two-photon cross-section is usually quoted in the units of Goeppert-Mayer (GM) (after its discoverer, Nobel laureate Maria Goeppert-Mayer), where 1 GM is 10−50 cm4 s photon−1.

Unit fraction

The energy levels of photons that can be absorbed or emitted by a hydrogen atom are, according to the Rydberg formula, proportional to the differences of two unit fractions.

An explanation for this phenomenon is provided by the Bohr model, according to which the energy levels of electron orbitals in a hydrogen atom are inversely proportional to square unit fractions, and the energy of a photon is quantized to the difference between two levels.
