Researchers at Michigan State University's National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) have reported the first measurement of the half-life of nickel-78.
Preliminary data on the hot topic of the search for pentaquarks were presented at the April Meeting of the American Physical Society by the Jefferson Laboratory's CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (...
A series of workshops has given scientists the opportunity to discover how the studies currently being carried out at HERA will influence future physics at the LHC.
In November, more than 100 enthusiasts headed to a fishing village near Lisbon for the first international conference on hard probes of heavy-ion collisions, Hard Probes 2004.
The vast amounts of accumulated data have helped another important aspect of Belle's physics programme: the discovery of new particle states in the charm sector.
In Russia last summer 220 scientists attended an international symposium reviewing present and future research into exotic nuclei.
The ICHEP '04 conference provided a major opportunity to review a wide range of recent progress in particle physics.
New measurements of unstable nuclei caught in the act of decay have gone a long way towards resolving long-standing questions about the triple-alpha process that creates carbon nuclei.
The atomic mass of a nucleus is important in a wide range of physics, as it conveys information on the nuclear binding energy. It is a unique property of each of the more than 3000 known nuclides. Now...
Experiments at the boundary of nuclear physics and particle physics are providing a clearer view of the nucleus in terms of the basic quarks and gluons, as Douglas Higinbotham describes.
