A unique study of a key reaction in X-ray burst nucleosynthesis bolsters the theoretical models used to calculate reaction rates.
Nuclear theorists study muon capture on deuteron to understand proton-proton fusion and the hydrogen burning phases of stars.
MemHC improves the efficiency of complex supercomputer physics calculations by optimizing memory management.
New results will help physicists interpret experimental data from particle collisions and better understand the interactions of quarks and gluons.
For the first time, scientists observe a new and rare decay mode where oxygen-13 breaks into three helium nuclei and a proton following beta decay.
Nuclear “filters” will aid in searches for new-physics events occurring with odds of one in 100 quadrillion.
New calculations suggest that high energy quarks should scatter wider and faster in hot quark matter than can be accounted for by local interactions.
First measurements of how hypernuclei flow from particle collisions may give insight into the strange matter makeup and properties of neutron stars.
Modern nuclear theory predicts that nucleons appear less “squishy” when probed with neutrinos than was previously inferred from experimental data.
Researchers worked out how to efficiently prepare wave functions for the lithium-6 nuclear ground state and implemented those on quantum hardware.
By reanalyzing the distribution of active protons in nuclei, researchers found a possible solution to a particle physics puzzle involving quarks.
If observed, neutrinoless double-β decay would have changed our view of the Universe.
