| A '''relativistic particle''' is a particle which moves with a [[relativistic speed]]; that is, a [[speed]] comparable to the [[speed of light]]. This is achieved by [[photon]]s and by [[tachyon]]s to the extent that effects described by special relativity are able to describe those of such [[Elementary particle|particles]] themselves. Several approaches exist as a means of describing the motion of single and multiple relativistic particles, with a prominent example being postulations through [[dirac equation]]s of single particle motion.

| [[Mass]]ive particles are relativistic when their [[kinetic energy]] is comparable to or greater than the energy <math>mc^2</math> corresponding to their [[rest mass]]. (This condition implies that their [[speed]] is close to the [[speed of light]].) Such relativistic particles are generated in [[particle accelerator]]s, and are naturally occurring in [[cosmic radiation]]. In [[astrophysics]], [[relativistic jet|jets]] of [[relativistic plasma]] are produced by the centers of [[active galaxy|active galaxies]] and [[quasar]]s.

| | |
| A charged relativistic particle crossing the interface of two media with different [[dielectric constant]]s emits [[transition radiation]]. This is exploited in the [[transition radiation detector]]s of high-velocity particles.

The title of the writer is Numbers but it's not the most masucline name out there. One of the issues she loves most is to read comics and she'll be beginning something else alongside with it. South Dakota is exactly where I've always been residing. My day job is a librarian.
