Sentences with phrase «nuclei at high energy»

Not exact matches

In a recent experiment performed at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory at RIKEN, an international collaboration with scientists from eleven countries, led by scientists of the Instituto de Estructura de la Materia, CSIC (Spain) and the RIKEN Nishina Center (Japan), made a very surprising observation: High - energy gamma rays — which are mediated by the electromagnetic force — are emitted in the decay of a certain excited nucleus — tin 133, in competition with neutron emission, the decay mode mediated by the strong nuclear force.

But at high energies, the protons tended to escape while the heavier, less mobile nuclei hung around.

Cosmic rays are atomic nuclei that zip through space at the highest energies observed in nature.

If the company's scientists can scale the technique up to longer times and higher temperatures, they will reach a stage at which atomic nuclei in the gas collide forcefully enough to fuse together, releasing energy.

Only at stupendously high temperatures do the nuclei acquire enough energy to overcome their mutual aversion, smash into one another, and fuse.

The use of intermediate size nuclei is expected to result in intermediate energy density - not as high as in earlier runs colliding two beams of gold ions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), but more than was produced by colliding a beam of gold ions with much lighter deuterons.

Technicolour is very similar to the strong force, which binds quarks together in the nuclei of atoms, only it operates at much higher energies.

Earlier this month, the team working on the experiment, the Payload for Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light - nuclei Astrophysics, released preliminary data at the International Conference on High Energy Physics in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

«We looked mostly at neutrinos created when high - energy cosmic rays crash into the nuclei of nitrogen or oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere.

Through the process of fusion, which is constantly occurring in the sun and other stars, energy is created when the nuclei of two lightweight atoms, such as those of hydrogen, combine in plasma at very high temperatures.
