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.
Scientists studied antimatter in the proton with higher precision than ever before, revealing insights into the particle’s puzzling dynamics.
A recent measurement of the neutron-rich “skin” around lead nuclei reveals new details of neutron behavior and the dynamics of neutron stars
Nuclear theorists demonstrate a new method for computing the strengths of subatomic interactions that include up to three particles.
Scientists find strong evidence for the long-predicted Breit-Wheeler effect—generating matter and antimatter from collisions of real photons.
