For the first time, a research team has successfully produced one of the most neutron-rich isotopes, hydrogen-6, in an ...

a proton in the lithium nucleus is resonantly excited by the interaction with the electron and promptly decays into a neutron and a positively charged pion. If this neutron subsequently transfers ...

A is the mass number (the sum of the protons and neutrons) Z is the atomic number (the number of protons) X is the chemical symbol of the element Note: the number of neutrons in the nucleus can be ...

In the world of nuclear physics, protons often take the spotlight. But now, for the first time, the neutron has stepped ... nucleon by shooting a high-energy electron at it and watching how ...

Formulae for the structure functionsW1 andW2 are obtained by means of the statistical approach to the Veneziano model together with pomeron dominance. A form forW2 is obtained that scales and agrees ...

Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts.

In the cores of neutron stars, the crushing pressures can squeeze apart atomic nuclei, and maybe even protons and neutrons themselves. Neutron stars' surface gravities are so intense that the ...

Here, neutrons, protons and some electrons roam freely. And what truly happens in the core region of a neutron star is a matter of much debate, because the physics here is so far beyond our ...

Neutrinos and antineutrinos are elementary particles with small but unknown mass. High-precision atomic mass measurements have revealed that beta decay of the silver-110 isomer has a strong potential ...
