THE angular distribution in the scattering of neutrons by protons has been investigated by a number of observers, particularly Dee and Gilbert 1, using neutrons with an energy of approximately 2·0 eMv ...

An international research collaboration has reported the first experimental evidence that the strongly correlated proton-neutron pairs found in an atomic depend on nuclear structure. The experiment, ...

IN order to use the results of experiments on the scattering of high-energy neutrons by protons to obtain information about nuclear interactions, it is necessary to calculate the expected angular ...

In the 1940s, researchers discovered that neutrons could serve as tools for measuring nuclear properties and determining the atomic and magnetic structures of materials. The first nuclear reactors, ...

In deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS), a high-energy electron probes a nucleon by exchanging a ‘virtual photon’ with the quarks inside. This process releases a real photon carrying information ...

According to the classical model of nuclear structure, the internal structure of nucleons should not change if they are bound into atomic nuclei. But it was discovered 35 years ago that quarks inside ...

The methods by which neutron diffraction and inelastic scattering may be used to study the structure and dynamics of solutions are reviewed, with particular reference to solutions of amphiphile and ...

If you hit an atom’s nucleus hard enough, it will fall apart. But exactly how it falls apart tells us something about the internal structure of the nucleus and perhaps about the interior of neutron ...

The features of the scattering of fast neutrons by protons are calculated using the Møller-Rosenfeld version of the meson theory of nuclear forces. The experimental results of Occhialini & Powell are ...

Unless you're interested in isotopic labeling, neutrons don't figure much into chemistry. Neutral in charge and a bit bigger than a proton, the neutron neither gives an atom its name nor determines ...

The internal structure of a proton, with quarks, gluons, and quark spin shown. The nuclear force acts like a spring, with negligible force when unstretched but large, attractive forces when stretched ...

Osaka, Japan - The nuclear force that holds protons and neutrons together in the center of atoms has a non-central component -- the tensor force, which depends on the spin and relative position of the ...
