Sentences with phrase «pygmy resonances»

Measurements carried out using the AGATA spectrometer has unravelled the details of neutron oscillations in the atomic nucleus and determined how many neutrons on the surface, or «skin», of the nucleus participate in unique vibrations known as pygmy resonances.

Through their extremely accurate measurements this team has unravelled the details of neutron oscillations in the atomic nucleus and determined how many neutrons on the surface, or «skin», of the nucleus participate in unique vibrations known as pygmy resonances.

For these reasons such localised vibrations have been termed pygmy resonances.

Secondly, we determined that the pygmy resonance in 208Pb lead vibrations involves only about 9 % of all neutrons in the nucleus.

But close to the earthquake's epicentre, bells on church towers may toll with their own rhythm — in some analogy to a pygmy resonance,» says Prof. Adam Maj at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFJ PAN) in Kraków.

Around the world, pygmy resonance studies are becoming increasingly popular among nuclear physicists.

As a result, we were able to reliably assess how do neutrons actually vibrate and how many of them take part in the pygmy resonance caused by the collision,» explains Prof. Angela Bracco of the University of Milano.
