considered possibilities where the heat from proton decay would show up in the development of the Earth's iron core, and in a neutron star. In GUTs, proton decay could proceed by many channels ...

A neutron decays into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino. In the QCD lattice approach, a discrete space is used for the calculation. The different colours on the lattice represent the ...

Ryan Amberger is headed to Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he will spend the next year studying nuclear astrophysics — specifically, the process behind the creation of half of the elements ...

Particle-accelerator study focuses on the r-process thought to be responsible for forming elements heavier than iron ...

Gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful kinds of explosions known in the cosmos, may help provide a piece of the puzzle when it ...

while boron-8 has five protons and three neutrons. Scientists have performed a new, more sensitive measurement of beta decay properties to hunt for a theorized feature of the weak nuclear force ...

In the world of nuclear physics, protons often take the spotlight. But now, for the first time, the neutron has stepped into it. A recent experiment using the U.S. Department of Energy’s ...

The AMoRE experimental collaboration in South Korea has reported not finding evidence of neutrinoless double beta decay after a two-year search, imposing stringent limits on this mysterious, ...

In this environment, Mumpower’s team suggest that energetic photons in a jet collide with protons to create a neutron and a pion. Since these neutrons are have no electrical charge, many of them could ...

It has not been observed in baryons — three-quark particles, such as protons and neutrons, that make up most of the ...
