I've heard the term "dipole moment" used in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (aka, NMR, upon which MRI is based). So the term "moment" can relate to molecular motion.

But I'm guessing that doesn't apply in a collider, where particles are subatomic. Quantum mechanics takes over. And 1s, 2s and 3s are energy states.

Am I close?
