Fourth Year Sectioning

NOTE: This listing is created by the help of all Pisay09 students, who may send their inputs one by one to YM (mynameis.jejo). This is a repetition of what we have done last year. No information from the registrar’s office has been taken to produce this list.

The comments function of this page will be activated tomorrow after the orientation. That is, if the section list is released. If the list is posted conspicuously, the manager of this page shall take note of all names as soon as internet access has been procured.

The charm quark is a second-generation quark with a charge of +(2/3)e. It is the third most massive of the quarks, at about 1.5 GeV/c² (roughly one and a half times the mass of the proton).

The electron is a fundamental subatomic particle that carries a negative electric charge. It is a spin ½ lepton that participates in electromagnetic interactions, and its mass is approximately 1 / 1836 of that of the proton.

In particle physics, gluons (glue and the suffix -on) are elementary particles that cause quarks to interact, and are indirectly responsible for the binding of protons and neutrons together in atomic nuclei.

In physics, the graviton is a hypothetical elementary particle that mediates the force of gravity in the framework of quantum field theory. If it exists, the graviton must be massless (because the gravitational force has unlimited range) and must have a spin of 2 (because gravity is a second-rank tensor field).

The muon (from the letter mu (μ)–used to represent it) is an elementary particle with negative electric charge and a spin of 1/2. It has a mean lifetime of 2.2μs, longer than any other unstable lepton, meson, or baryon except for the neutron.

In physics, the photon is the elementary particle responsible for electromagnetic phenomena. It is the carrier of electromagnetic radiation of all wavelengths, including gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves.

The tau lepton (often called the tau, tau particle, or occasionally the tauon; symbol τ⁻) is a negatively charged elementary particle with a lifetime of 2.9×10⁻¹³ s and a mass of 1,777 MeV/c² (compared to 938 MeV/c² for protons and 0.511 MeV/c² for electrons).

The top quark (truth quark) is the third-generation up-type quark with a charge of +(2/3)e.^[1] It was discovered in 1995 by the CDF and D0 experiments at Fermilab, and is by far the most massive of known elementary particles. As of 2007, its mass is measured at 170.9±1.8 GeV/c².^[2] nearly as heavy as a goldnucleus.
