In physics and mathematics, a pseudovector (or axial vector) is a quantity that behaves like a vector in many situations, but its direction does not conform...

In high energy physics, a pseudovector meson or axial vector meson is a meson with total spin 1 and even parity (+) (usually noted as J P = 1+ ). Compare...

not. A pseudoscalar, when multiplied by an ordinary vector, becomes a pseudovector (or axial vector); a similar construction creates the pseudotensor. A...

mesons contrast with the pseudovector mesons, which also have a total spin 1 but instead have even parity. The vector and pseudovector mesons are also dissimilar...

quantity of magnetic moment per unit volume. It is represented by a pseudovector M. Magnetization can be compared to electric polarization, which is the...

meaning.) In mathematics, a rotating body is commonly represented by a pseudovector along the axis of rotation. The length of the vector gives the speed...

cross product transforms as a pseudovector under parity transformations and so is properly described as a pseudovector. The dot product of two vectors...
