Theoretical study exploits precision of new heavy ion collision data to predict how gluons are distributed inside protons and neutrons
A weak proton emission following beta decay constrains the formation of elements in stellar nova explosions and determines their peak temperature.
Long predicted by theory with support from supercomputers, this combination of neutrons advances nuclear physics
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams has demonstrated an innovative liquid-lithium charge stripper to accelerate unprecedentedly high-power heavy-ion beams.
Using Earth-based particle accelerators, scientists measure the reactions that take place in stars to produce carbon.
The results may offer insight into the quark-gluon plasma—the hot mix of fundamental nuclear-matter building blocks that filled the early universe.
Photon-deuteron collisions offer insight into the gluons that bind the building blocks of matter—and what it takes to break protons and neutrons apart.
An international group of nuclear scientists has restricted the neutrino mass with a new level of sensitivity.
Precision measurements on the oxygen formation in stellar helium burning use gamma-beams and a Time Projection Chamber.
Adding a little oxygen to particle accelerator structures may make them more efficient and easier to build.
Researchers develop a 2D tomography technique that will enable the search for Mach waves in the smallest droplets of quark-gluon plasma.
The search for “broken symmetry” may offer new insight into nuclear structure.
