Researchers have combined theory and experiments to show that nuclear polarization does not limit studies of muonic atoms, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments. University of ...

Enhanced nuclear application strategies "By better understanding the behavior of nuclei in these conditions, we can enhance our approaches to nuclear energy production and radiation therapy," stated J ...

Solving the nuclear many-body problem is a key challenge in nuclear physics – it deals with understanding the behavior of the protons and neutrons (called nucleons) inside atomic nuclei. These ...

Researchers use a laser to excite and precisely measure a long-sought exotic nuclear state, paving the way for precise timekeeping and ultrasensitive quantum sensing. Figure 2: The precision of ...

A new theoretical analysis connects the results of high-energy particle experiments at the Large Hadron Collider with three-proton correlations inside nuclei. How triplets of protons and neutrons ...
