Dripline: how many neutrons can you pack into a nucleus? (Courtesy: iStock/Altayb) The maximum number of neutrons that can be packed into fluorine and neon isotopes have been determined by nuclear ...

Unusual behavior in an exotic isotope of neon challenges the traditional foundations of nuclear physics All the collision products are detected by the BigRIPS fragment separator—a cutting-edge machine ...

Osaka, Japan - Scientists from the Department of Physics and the Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP) at Osaka University, in collaboration with Kyoto University, used alpha particle inelastic ...

A high-precision comparison of the magnetic moments of two isotopically different neon ions opens a path to the search for elusive particles that could explain the unexpectedly low observed mass of ...

ABOUT thirteen disintegrations of neon nuclei have been obtained in 3,200 pairs, and approximately 100 disintegrations of nitrogen nuclei in 7,600 pairs of photographs of a Wilson chamber through ...

Researchers show that an excited state previously predicted to exist in neon-20 is real by using particle scattering experiments. By merging into five groups of four, the protons and neutrons in ...
