Different atoms and ions possess characteristic energy levels. Like a fingerprint, they are unique for each species. Among ...
Nuclear structure and scattering theory form the core of our understanding of atomic nuclei, unraveling how protons and neutrons interact via the strong force and arrange themselves into complex ...
For years, physicists have mapped the stability of atomic nuclei with remarkable confidence. The periodic table, with its ...
An international research collaboration led by the University of Surrey's Nuclear Physics Group has overturned the long-standing belief that the atomic nucleus of lead-208 (²⁰⁸Pb) is perfectly ...
Nucleons, comprising protons and neutrons, are not elementary particles but are built from quarks and gluons held together by the strong nuclear force. At typical inter-nucleon distances, effective ...
Technical University of Braunschweig, and the University of Delaware achieved new insight into the inner structure of the ...
