Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorized. The study, led by the ...

Fusion at high temperatures powers the sun and, if harnessed, could provide a potential source of energy here on Earth. But ...

This opens a path to computing nuclear reaction rates that are difficult or impossible to measure in a laboratory. These include reaction rates that play a role in astrophysics and national security.

Nuclear level densities are important ingredients in the statistical model of nuclear reactions which describes the excitation of the nucleus at temperatures and energies beyond the low-lying discrete ...

Using the advanced GALILEO Array coupled with the 4π Si-ball EUCLIDES, the researchers conducted in-depth spectroscopic analysis to track and identify the reactions. The gamma-gamma coincidence method ...
