It produces an alpha particle (or Helium-4 nucleus) and a neutron, and releases 17.6 megaelectron volt (MeV) of energy in the form of kinetic energy of the products (3.5 MeV to alpha particle and 14.1 ...

A new optical fiber link between CERN and Paris will provide the Laboratory with an accurate frequency reference, enhancing ...

An unstable nucleus can emit a ‘package’ of two protons and two neutrons, called an alpha particle, to become more stable. Alpha radiation is made up of a stream of alpha particles emitted ...

"Our Sun (Sol) is marked by a black hexagon, and its orbital path is indicated by a grey solid line (top row only). Alpha ...

An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons and is often described as a helium nucleus. It is not the same as a helium atom as it does not contain any electrons but it is written ...

An optical fibre link to the ALPHA experiment at CERN's Antimatter Factory will assist in precise measurements of the properties of antihydrogen ...
