Long-sought measurement of exotic beta decay in thallium helps extract the timescale of the sun's birth
we can uncover how long it took our sun to form 4.6 billion years ago," says Guy Leckenby, doctoral student from TRIUMF and first author of the publication. The measured bound-state beta decay ...
New data keeps search for rare subatomic mystery going
The AMoRE experimental collaboration in South Korea has reported not finding evidence of neutrinoless double beta decay after ...
Might the proton decay in other places or at other times?
Does the proton decay? While this was a famous prediction of Grand Unified Theories (GUTS) developed in the 1970s and 1980s, ...

New precise calculation of nuclear beta decays paves the way to uncover physics beyond the standard model
Through the weak nuclear force, one quark flavor can transmute into another. However, current data and theory indicate that ...

The Standard Model Beta decay
Beta (\(\beta^-\)) decay is the release of an electron by the change of a neutron to a proton. The neutron (charge = 0) is made up of one up quark (charge = \(\frac{2}{3}\)) and two down quarks ...

AMoRE experiment sets new limits on neutrinoless double beta decay of ¹⁰⁰Mo
The observation of neutrinoless double beta decay could have important implications for the study of matter and antimatter. In fact, it would confirm that neutrinos and their antiparticles (i.e ...
