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 ...

Magic numbers" in nuclear physics identify specific numbers of protons or neutrons that lead to especially stable nuclei.

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 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 ...

An invisible force has long eluded detection within the halls of the world’s most famous particle accelerator—until now.

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

The CMS and ATLAS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have observed an unforeseen feature in the behaviour of top ...

R. Li et al. Measured proton electromagnetic structure deviates from theoretical predictions. Nature . Published online October 19, 2022. doi: 10.1038/s41586-022-05248-1.

The proton’s charm component could also have ramifications for other physics experiments at the LHC, says Cliff, as they rely on accurate models of proton substructure.

Now, by exploiting a high-precision determination of the quark-gluon content of the proton and by examining 35 years’ worth of data, particle physics data researchers have discovered evidence ...
