If that turns out to be true, some unseen actor must be interfering in the decay—potentially a new particle or force previously unidentified in nature. The finding, made at the NA62 experiment ...

It’s the rarest particle decay ever discovered. Scientists have clinched the case for a special type of decay of subatomic particles called kaons. Further study of the rare decay could reveal a ...

An alpha particle is also a Helium-4 nucleus. It is written as \(_{2}^{4}\textrm{He}\) and is also sometimes written as \(_{2}^{4}\alpha\). Alpha decay causes the mass number of the nucleus to ...

Under the revised agreement, both companies will co-develop four Radio-DARPin programs; each company will have the right to commercialize two ...

she read a paper reporting an alpha particle emission from actinium-227. All of Perey’s analyses of this isotope told her there would be one decay product, a beta particle, with a decay energy ...

Scientists at CERN have discovered an ultra-rare particle decay process, opening a new path to find physics beyond our understanding of how the building blocks of matter interact. This is an ultra ...

Alpha decay is a type of radioactive decay where an unstable nucleus changes to another element by emitting a particle ...

Researchers at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have successfully synthesized a ...

One mode of decay for uranium is to emit an alpha-particle. This alpha-particle is actually just the heart of a helium atom - its nucleus. Once it has grabbed a couple of electrons, a helium atom has ...

as it’s determined by the radioactive decay of a Americium-241 alpha particle source. A Geiger-Muller tube is used to detect alpha particles, with the timing between detections used to determine ...

Two simple rules dictate what elements are formed in a decay series. For each alpha particle a radioactive sample emits, the atomic number of the product element formed is two less than the element ...
