A weak proton emission following beta decay constrains the formation of elements in stellar nova explosions and determines their peak temperature.
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams has demonstrated an innovative liquid-lithium charge stripper to accelerate unprecedentedly high-power heavy-ion beams.
Using Earth-based particle accelerators, scientists measure the reactions that take place in stars to produce carbon.
The results may offer insight into the quark-gluon plasma—the hot mix of fundamental nuclear-matter building blocks that filled the early universe.
The energy of a key resonance in sodium destruction is found, affecting our understanding of globular cluster evolution.
A key reaction in the slow neutron-capture process that forms elements occurs less frequently than previously thought.
Scientists explore the origin of Aluminum-26 in stars with a nuclear reaction that exploits the fact that neutrons and protons are stunningly similar.
A new machine learning system diagnoses particle accelerator component issues in real-time.
Scientists start studying the structure of exotic hadrons by looking how they interact with nearby particles.
A result 20 years in the making: Most precise measurement yet of the lifetime of the charge-neutral pion that keeps protons and neutrons together.
