Feynman diagram
  نمودار ِ فاینمن  
nemudâr-e Feynman
Fr.: diagramme de Feynman  

A schematic representation, in quantum electrodynamics and quantum chromodynamics,
of the way elementary particles like electrons and protons interact with each other by exchanging photons. Use of Feynman diagrams can greatly reduce the amount of computation involved in calculating a rate or cross section of a physical process.
