One mechanism named for this man explains the scattering of supernova shocks by magnetic mirrors and is known as his first-order acceleration. A method for calculating the transition rate from a single eigenstate to a continuum of eigenstates relates the transition probability to the matrix element for the interaction and is known as this man's (*) "golden rule." The highest-energy quantum state available at absolute zero is referred to as his "energy," which occurs in the middle of the band gap for semiconductors. The first namesake of a statistical distribution modeling particles which obey the Pauli Exclusion Principle along with Dirac, for 10 points, identify this namesake of half-integer spin particles, an Italian physicist.
