WE have used the 110-in. Harwell cyclotron 1 as a source of high-energy neutrons for total cross-section measurements in good geometry. An internal beryllium target 8.9 mm. thick was bombarded by ...

Physicists used MINERvA, a Fermilab neutrino experiment, to measure the proton’s size and structure using a neutrino-scattering technique. For the first time, particle physicists have been able to ...

Scientists are holding up a 'mirror' to protons and neutrons to learn more about the particles that build our visible universe. The MARATHON experiment has accessed new details about these particles' ...

Michael Amdi Madsen, IAEA Office of Public Information and Communication “One of the most challenging aspects of a fusion reaction is dealing with the damage caused by released neutrons,” said Kalle ...

Using data collected over two decades ago, scientists have compiled the first complete map of hydrogen abundances on the Moon's surface. The map identifies two types of lunar materials containing ...

In the beginning, says one school of cosmology, there was “ylem”*: a featureless mass of protons and neutrons containing all the matter in the universe. A little later (perhaps during the second ...

Using data collected over two decades ago, scientists from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, have compiled the first complete map of hydrogen abundances on the ...
