A new result from the Q-weak experiment at the Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility provides a precision test of the weak force, one of four fundamental forces in ...

Certain isotopes such as Indium-115 (In-115) are extremely long lived, taking over 100 trillion years for half of the Indium atoms to decay away. These isotopes allow scientists to probe the precise ...

Researchers precisely measured the proton’s size, resolving the proton radius puzzle and strengthening confidence in the Standard Model of particle physics.

Even if you’re one of the most precise physicists on the planet — as University of Delaware Professor Marianna Safronova is — you still will need collaborators whose skills complement your own and ...

The weak charge of the proton has been measure to high-precision for the first time. The work was done at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) in Virginia and the result ...

Most experimental particle physicists, when not twitching in front of a computer cursing the ROOT manual or chasing Grid Jobs, spend their time deep underground, with their detectors and accelerators ...

Students distinguish between accuracy and precision of measurements. Accuracy, Precision, and Significant Digits: Students distinguish between accuracy and precision of measurements and make ...

A new result from the Q-weak experiment provides a precision test of the weak force, one of four fundamental forces in nature. The proton's weak charge was found to be QWp=0.0719±0.0045, in excellent ...
