The effects of the weak force were first discovered at the turn of the 20th century, in the place where it is most obviously at work: in radioactive beta decay. In the most common form of this ...

All types of radioactive decay can be detected ... beta radiation is stopped by several metres of air or a thin sheet of aluminium; beta decay:\(_{X}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow_{Z+1}^{ ...

To conduct its most recent search for neutrinoless double beta decay, the AMoRE collaboration prepared several kgs of molybdenum, enriched in 100 Mo, in the form of scintillating crystals.

such as exotic forms of matter. The MAJORANA Collaboration is one such experiment. The project aims to explore neutrinoless double beta decay, a type of radioactive decay, hoping to establish if ...

In nuclear beta decay an up quark ‘u’ in a proton converts into an up down quark ‘d,’ turning the proton into a neutron and emitting a positron and a neutrino. This work affects ...

The AMoRE experimental collaboration in South Korea has reported not finding evidence of neutrinoless double beta decay after a two-year search, imposing stringent limits on this mysterious, ...

New experiments on thallium decay have helped determine the Sun formed over 10–20 million years, improving stellar nucleosynthesis models. Have you ever wondered how long it took our Sun to form in ...
