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

Through the weak nuclear force, one quark flavor can transmute into another. However, current data and theory indicate that ...

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

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 ...

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

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.

Beta radioactive decay occurs when protons change into neutrons, such as when protons fuse near the center of the sun. In 1930, Pauli speculated that when neutrons form from the fusion of protons, the ...

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 ...

In the most common form of this decay, beta-minus decay, a neutron decays into a proton, also spitting out a negatively charged electron in order to conserve electric charge; beta-plus decay does ...

The radiation emitted from unstable nuclei is called ionising radiation because as it passes through matter it can dislodge outer electrons from atoms causing them to become ions. An unstable ...

The technique of neutron activation analysis is based on the measurement of radiation released by the decay of radioactive nuclei formed by neutron irradiation of the material. The most suitable ...
