Double beta decay research represents a pivotal field at the intersection of nuclear physics and particle physics, probing the fundamental nature of neutrinos and their role in the matter–antimatter ...

How long did it take our Sun to form in its stellar nursery? Scientists are now closer to an answer. They succeeded in the measurement of the bound-state beta decay of fully-ionized thallium ions at ...

Left: “Mirror” nuclei lithium-8 and boron-8 undergo beta decay, then split into two alpha particles. Right: Radioactive ions from the ATLAS accelerator at Argonne National Laboratory are suspended in ...

Neutrinos, often referred to as “ghost particles,” are subatomic entities that can pass through the densest of materials, ...

For the first time, a research team from the University of Cologne has observed the electron capture decay of technetium-98, ...

In a Physical Review Letters study, the HOLMES collaboration has achieved the most stringent upper bound on the effective ...

First author of the publication Guy Leckenby works at the storage ring ESR at GSI/FAIR. Current calculations estimate that the formation of our Sun from the progenitor molecular cloud took about a few ...
