In nuclear physics, "magic numbers" identify specific numbers of protons or neutrons that lead to especially stable nuclei.

While radiation treatments designed to kill cancer cells have come a long way, scientists and doctors are always exploring ...

With 70% of the proton's spin coming from gluons and orbital interactions, and with experiments and Lattice QCD calculations improving hand-in-hand, we're finally closing in on exactly why the ...

Physics is somewhat less broken, but still not quite right Measurements of the proton’s charge radius still disagree, but by less. John Timmer – Dec 2, 2020 2:21 pm | 87 ...

Published in Reviews of Modern Physics, the work follows up on a 2018 measurement of the proton’s internal pressure. The data the team studied came out of experiments at Jefferson Lab’s ...

Physics: Proton radius smaller than believed, European scientists say ...

Setting the standard: NPL’s portable calorimeter provides a more accurate reference point for proton-beam dosimetry. (Courtesy: NPL) While proton therapy is becoming a standard treatment option in ...

Physics not “broken” after all? We’re close to resolving proton radius puzzle New measurement confirms 2010 finding that proton is smaller than previously thought.

IMPT is a proton therapy technique in which scanned proton pencil beams of variable energy and intensity are used to precisely paint the radiation dose onto a tumour. Proton arc therapy, PAT. With PAT ...
