Picturing the proton by elastic scattering

An analysis of many results suggests a three-layer model of the proton.

LISOL takes dipole moments that are close to magic

The nuclear shell model remains an essential tool in describing the structure of nuclei heavier than carbon, with shells corresponding to the "magic" numbers of protons (Z) or neutrons (N) associated ...

The EIC’s route to a new frontier in QCD

Plans for a high-luminosity, high-energy, polarized electron–ion collider.

NA60: in hot pursuit of thermal dileptons

Measurements reveal the thermal origin of dileptons in nuclear collisions at SPS energies.

New neutron-rich nuclei support ‘island of inversion’ theory

Researchers at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University have succeeded in making and measuring the production rates of 15 new neutron-rich isotopes.

Element 112 is to be given the name ‘copernicium’

The team that discovered element 112 at GSI Darmstadt has proposed naming it "copernicium", with the element symbol "Cp", in honour of the scientist and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus.

Fermilab’s CDF experiment observes the Ω_b^–baryon

The CDF collaboration has announced the observation of a new particle containing three quarks: two strange quarks and a bottom quark.

Element 112 receives official recognition

Element 112, discovered at GSI Darmstadt, has been officially recognized as a new element by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).

GSI reveals new magic numbers in nuclei

The shell structure of atomic nuclei with its magic numbers (2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, 126) for protons and neutrons corresponding to an enhanced binding is a cornerstone in understanding the structure an...
