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 ...

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 ...

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

In this pioneering research, the team focused on nuclei with a proton number (Z) of 84 or higher and a neutron number (N) of 128 or more, employing semi-empirical formulas to calculate partial ...

In a study published in the journal of Nuclear Science and Techniques, researchers from Sun Yat-sen University have achieved a significant breakthrough in understanding the decay processes of ...
