Feyn|man diagram «_FAYN muhn»,

a graphic representation of the interactions of elementary particles: »

Electromagnetic and weak processes exhibit striking similarities when depicted in the form of Feynman diagrams. Such diagrams symbolize the interactions that underlie subnuclear phenomena, for example the collision between two particles, which physicists refer to as a scattering event (Scientific American).
