A newly discovered excited state in radioactive sodium-32 has an unusually long lifetime, and its shape dynamics could be the cause.
Department of Energy user facility helps probe questions from changes in the structure of nuclei to nuclear reactions that shape the Universe.
A new system for detecting photons in laser-powered quantum computers brings these systems closer to reality.
Researchers examine the structure of the low-energy nuclear states of carbon-12 using nuclear lattice effective field theory.
Theorists predict differential distribution of 'up' and 'down' quarks within protons—and differential contributions to the proton's properties.
New results will help physicists interpret experimental data from particle collisions and better understand the interactions of quarks and gluons.
New calculations suggest that high energy quarks should scatter wider and faster in hot quark matter than can be accounted for by local interactions.
First measurements of how hypernuclei flow from particle collisions may give insight into the strange matter makeup and properties of neutron stars.
New measurements at RHIC provide evidence for quark ‘deconfinement’ and insight into the unimaginable temperature of the hottest matter on Earth.
Study reveals that initial state conditions set up particle flow patterns, helping zero in on key properties of matter that mimics the early universe.
Theorists' hydrodynamic flow calculations accurately describe data from collisions of photons with lead nuclei at the ATLAS experiment.
Suppression of a telltale sign of quark-gluon interactions indicates gluon recombination in dense walls of gluons.
