In a research article recently published in Space: Science & Technology, scholars from Beijing Institute of Technology, China Academy of Space Technology, and Chinese Academy of Sciences together ...

Alpha particle elastic scattering from Pb208 and the Pb208(He4,t)Bi209 and Pb208(He4, He3)Pb209 reactions have been measured at 39.8, 61.5, and 81.4 MeV. Distorted-wave Born approximation calculations ...

α-particle scattering by O16 has been studied in the energy range 18.9 to 30 MeV, using the Minnesota MP tandem Van de Graaff accelerator. The target consisted of 40 μg/cm2 of oxygen in the form of ...

For more than a decade, physicists in the United States have been chasing what came to be known as a “ghost particle” — the sterile neutrino. It was a hypothetical addition to the Standard Model of ...

The space around Earth has become increasingly cluttered with decades of accumulated debris left over from rocket launches, derelict satellites and the occasional antisatellite weapon test—not to ...
