They ran a neutron production system for 1,250 hours using a 1.7-megawatt proton beam. This feat was accomplished using Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), a powerful research facility that uses ...
like the beam of light from a turning lighthouse. This "pulsing" appearance gives some neutron stars the name pulsars. After spinning for several million years pulsars are drained of their energy ...
Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions ... reaction cross-section using a radioactive ion beam, in this case studying the 94Sr(α,n)97Zr reaction.
