Using the Frontier supercomputer at ORNL, researchers have developed a new technique that predicts nuclear properties in record detail. The study revealed how the structure of a nucleus relates to the force that holds it together.
Scientists at ORNL are using advanced germanium detectors to explore fundamental questions in nuclear physics, such as the nature of neutrinos and the matter-antimatter imbalance.
Recent study reveals double-magic nature of radioactive 132Sn and stable 208Pb through lifetime and cross-section measurements of single-neutron states in adjacent nuclei.
