Silver-110’s decay reveals a promising path to measure antineutrino mass. New data could reshape future neutrino studies.

But axions were pushed aside as the WIMPs hypothesis gained more steam. Back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that the ...

Weak forces have been stopping us from decoding quark mixing, but not anymore Humans can’t change their nature and type but quarks can. This quark mixing has been a puzzle, but now we have a ...

Another form of beta decay is beta minus decay, which involves the weak force causing a neutron to change into a proton. This process creates an electron and an electron antineutrino. It also ...

Angular momentum is conserved microscopically. However, how conservation works even in simple reactions encountered in atomic, nuclear, and particle physics is not immediately obvious. We examine ...

In the talk, I will describe three different approaches using nuclear beta decay to search for beyond standard model physics in the weak sector: (i) super-allowed Fermi 0+ - 0+ decays, (ii) ...

Summary A team of nuclear scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, and Louisiana State University precisely measured the beta-decay properties of the ...

In a new study, researchers aim to enhance our understanding of the weak nuclear force by analyzing beta decays of “mirror” nuclei, such as lithium-8 and boron-8. In mirror nuclei, the number of ...

The weak nuclear force drives the process of nuclear beta decay. In beta decay, a proton or neutron in a nucleus emits a beta particle (an electron or its anti-particle, a positron) and a neutrino.
