By colliding 70Zn projectiles moving at one quarter the speed of light with stationary 70Zn nuclei, nuclear physics
Keeping ion beams cool keeps the particles tightly packed, so more ions collide to generate data. RHIC physicists will use relatively cool
To make 5H, the researchers used a reaction that removed a single proton from energetic 6He nuclei produced by the National
By tracking particles that emerge from nuclear collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a U.S. Department of Energy Office of
Atomic nuclei are finite many-body quantum systems that exhibit increased stability or “shell structure” when the proton and/or neutron
Using the supercomputer Titan at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, scientists performed first-principles computations of the structure of 78
Experimental results from RHIC and the LHC suggest that protons are much more complex than a simple arrangement of three quarks held together by
The distribution of indium and thallium between the aqueous and organic phases is the key to understanding the separation of these elements. An
The KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino mass (KATRIN) project can measure neutrino mass by a very careful determination of the electron spectrum emitted by
Researchers use accelerators to coax the electron into performing a wide range of tricks to enable medical tests and treatments, improve product
