That makes the muon the perfect probe for measuring the nucleus and its charge radius. This indicates the area over which the positive charge of the nucleus is distributed. Ideal for the researchers: ...

Charge radii differences in mirror nuclei, which have opposite numbers of protons and neutrons, can help constrain parameters for the equation of state nuclear matter, which describes the properties ...

A researcher stands behind a metal pipe covered with electrical cords and gauges. A researcher works on a device at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams. This part of the facility provides low-energy ...
