Scientists have performed a new, more sensitive measurement of beta decay properties to hunt for a theorized feature of the weak nuclear force not currently included in the Standard Model.

They succeeded in the measurement of the bound-state beta decay of fully-ionized thallium (²⁰⁵Tl⁸¹⁺) ions at the Experimental Storage Ring (ESR) of GSI/FAIR. This measurement has ...

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 ...

The effects of the weak force were first discovered at the turn of the 20th century, in the place where it is most obviously at work: in radioactive beta decay. In the most common form of this ...

The proton remains inside the nucleus, but the electron is ejected at high speed. This is called beta decay.. Beta decay causes the atomic number of the nucleus to increase by one (because there ...

ProShares Ultra Gold ETF shows significant decay in the long term due to beta-slippage and contango. Explore more details ...

The latest Android 16 beta seems to be putting increased stress on phones’ battery life, with some users reporting the need ...
