AMES, Iowa – James Vary has been waiting for nuclear physics experiments to confirm the reality of a “tetraneutron” that he and his colleagues theorized, predicted and first announced during a ...

Preliminary results from two experiments suggest something could be wrong with the basic way physicists think the universe works, a prospect that has the field of particle physics both baffled and … ...

The calculations predicted a lower wobble than the Fermilab experiment measured. This week’s results closely follow new findings from the Large Hadron Collider.

New precise calculation of nuclear beta decays paves the way to uncover physics beyond the standard model Theorists identify new effects needed to compute the nuclear beta decay rate with a ...

Researchers have combined theory and experiments to show that nuclear polarization does not limit studies of muonic atoms, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments.

The Muon g-2 electromagnet at Fermilab, ready to receive a beam of muon particles. This experiment ... More began in 2017 and will take data for a total of 3 years, reducing the uncertainties ...

The results from one of the most hotly-anticipated experiments in particle physics are in, and they could be about to fulfill every researcher's wildest dreams: They maybe, perhaps, could break ...
