In recent years, some large physics experiments worldwide have been trying to gather evidence of a nuclear process known as ...

In 1930, Wolfgang Pauli (the father of the Pauli Exclusion Principle) proposed the existence of the neutrino to explain the conservation of energy in beta radioactive decay. Beta radioactive decay ...

Does the proton decay? While this was a famous prediction of Grand Unified Theories (GUTS) developed in the 1970s and 1980s, ...

The AMoRE experimental collaboration in South Korea has reported not finding evidence of neutrinoless double beta decay after ...

The emission of beta radiation provides evidence that neutrons and protons are made up of quarks. Beta (\(\beta^-\)) decay is the release of an electron by the change of a neutron to a proton.

Quantum gravity is the missing link between general relativity and quantum mechanics, the yet-to-be-discovered key to a ...

Professor Dolinski is interested in designing and building detectors for the next generation of neutrino experiments, including nEXO and DUNE. nEXO will search for neutrinoless double beta decay of ...

The incredible breakthrough, detailed in a study published in 2023, paves the way for future neutrino experiments ... are emitted during nuclear beta decay, a type of radioactive decay in which ...

The first direct measurement of the size of the neutrino, a fundamental particle, suggests they are at least larger than an atomic nucleus – but they could potentially be trillions of times larger.

Very low backgroud detectors are required to identify rare events, including solar neutrinos, searches for dark matter, double beta decay events ... to a level adequate for the Borexino solar neutrino ...

The effects of the weak force were first discovered at the turn of the 20th century, in the place where it is most obviously at work: in radioactive beta decay. In the most common form of this ...
