Scientists have gained insights into the weak nuclear force from new, more sensitive studies of the beta decays of the 'mirror' nuclei lithium-8 and boron-8. The weak nuclear force drives the process ...
In recent years, some large physics experiments worldwide have been trying to gather evidence of a nuclear process known as neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay. This is a rare process that entails ...
The study of heavy flavour physics focuses on the behaviour of particles containing heavy quarks, such as the bottom (b) and charm (c) quarks, within the framework of the Standard Model and beyond.
