Radionuclide metrology and beta decay studies represent a cornerstone of modern nuclear science, merging refined measurement techniques with advanced theoretical modelling to quantify radioactivity ...

The observation of a resonance in the boron-11 nucleus suggests that the proton emission from beryllium-11 is a two-step process rather than a dark matter decay channel. The discovery of an exotic ...

Double beta decay, one of the rarest nuclear processes, offers a unique portal into the fundamental properties of neutrinos and the conservation of lepton number. Experimental strategies have evolved ...

For the first time, scientists observe a new and rare decay mode where oxygen-13 breaks into three helium nuclei and a proton following beta decay. Scientists have previously observed interesting ...

Sheltered underneath nearly a mile of rock in Abruzzo, Italy, scientists are hard at work unraveling the secrets of the universe's smallest bits of matter. When a radioactive process called beta decay ...
