The previously unknown nucleus aluminum-20 has been observed for the first time by detecting its in-flight decays.
Three-proton emission from aluminium-20....
A team of physicists from Germany, Finland, India and Japan has discovered a new isotope of the synthetic chemical element seaborgium.
Mosat et al. report...
Using the focal-plane spectrometer of the gas-filled recoil separator at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä in Finland, physicists...
Near-miss collisions between high-energy lead nuclei at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider generate intense electromagnetic fields that can knock out protons...
Top-quark pair production has been observed in lead-lead collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with the ATLAS detector, marking the first...
Physicists at the GSI/FAIR accelerator facility have gained insights into the structure of atomic nuclei of fermium, a synthetic chemical element of the...
Neutrons are subatomic particles that have no electric charge, unlike protons and electrons. That means that while the electromagnetic force is responsible...
The carbon atom provides the backbone for the complex organic chemistry composing the building blocks of life. The physics of the carbon nucleus in its...
The rapid neutron capture process, or the so-called r-process, occurs in neutron-rich environments such as neutron star mergers or certain types of supernovae....
The oxygen-28 (28O) nucleus is of particular interest as, with the Z = 8 (protons) and N = 20 (neutrons) magic numbers, it is expected in the standard...
Superradiance occurs when an atomic nucleus reaches a high excitation energy.
Mirror nuclei, such as oxygen-18 and neon-18, have the same number of protons...
The novel method, developed by nuclear physicists at the STAR detector of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), relies on particles of light that...
