A first-of-its-kind measurement of the rare calcium-48 nucleus found a neutron-rich “thin skin” around a core of more evenly distributed protons and neutrons.
Nuclear physicists find that the internal structures of protons and neutrons may be altered in different ways inside nuclei.
Predictions for future measurements at the Electron-Ion Collider may help solve ‘proton spin’ mystery.
Researchers study the energy and angular dependence of how neutrons scatter off materials to improve reactor safety and efficiency.
Long predicted by theory with support from supercomputers, this combination of neutrons advances nuclear physics
Scientists measure the proton’s electric and magnetic polarizabilities using the High Intensity Gamma Ray Source (HIGS).
The observation of a resonance in the boron-11 nucleus suggests that the proton emission from beryllium-11 is a two-step process rather than a dark matter decay channel.
Experiments confirm the NUCLEI collaboration’s predictions of the existence of the tetraneutron.
Theoretical study exploits precision of new heavy ion collision data to predict how gluons are distributed inside protons and neutrons
A weak proton emission following beta decay constrains the formation of elements in stellar nova explosions and determines their peak temperature.
