Nuclear reactors are prolific sources of electron antineutrinos. From the first detection of the neutrino in the 1950s to today's cutting edge... Neutrinos produced in nuclear reactions inside the Sun. Neutrinos are produced as well in laboratory nuclear reactions. The first direct tests of how... An elusive elementary particle that interacts with matter principally through the weak nuclear force. Neutrinos are electrically neutral spin-½... An electrical device that accelerates charged atomic or subatomic particles to high energies. The particles may be charged either positively or... A phenomenon resulting from an instability of the atomic nucleus in certain atoms whereby the nucleus experiences a spontaneous but measurably... Fundamental interactions of nature that play a significant role in elementary-particle and nuclear physics, and are distinguished from other such... The detection and study of neutrinos to learn about astronomical objects and the universe. The recent discovery of neutrino oscillations, found in studies of atmospheric neutrinos, shows that neutrinos have a nonzero mass. The long-standing... Recent advances in the understanding of stellar nucleosynthesis, the formation of elements in the interior of stars, feature processes at both... The lifetime of a free neutron (which beta-decays into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino) is an important parameter for understanding both... A number of different processes, including alpha-, beta-, and gamma-ray emission, exist by which radioactive nuclei are transformed into stable... It was only in the tenth century that, by building a large box camera, the astronomer Alhazen demonstrated once and for all that we “see” by... A process in which an atomic nucleus emits two electrons, increasing its atomic number by two, while its mass number remains the same. |
