The AMoRE experimental collaboration in South Korea has reported not finding evidence of neutrinoless double beta decay after ...

Scientists have performed a new, more sensitive measurement of beta decay properties to hunt for a theorized feature of the weak nuclear force not currently included in the Standard Model.

Beta decay causes the atomic number of the nucleus to increase by one while the mass number remains the same. Gamma ray emission causes no change in the number of particles in the nucleus ...

Radford currently leads a portion of the Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay, known as the LEGEND-1000 DOE project (LEGEND), with ORNL as its lead lab.

They succeeded in the measurement of the bound-state beta decay of fully-ionized thallium (²⁰⁵Tl⁸¹⁺) ions at the Experimental Storage Ring (ESR) of GSI/FAIR. This measurement has ...

Here is the equation for the alpha decay of radon-219 into polonium. Beta decay involves the conversion of a down quark to an up quark. This changes a neutron into a proton plus an electron.

The effects of the weak force were first discovered at the turn of the 20th century, in the place where it is most obviously at work: in radioactive beta decay. In the most common form of this ...
