Improved technique could reveal beyond standard model particles in CERN detector

Highlights

HIP researchers have developed a new method to improve the identification of latent tracks in nuclear track detectors: “The MoEDAL experiment employs solid-state nuclear track detector foils around Interaction Point 8 to search for traces of highly ionizing particles. The selected material, CR-39, has been used in several experiments and is capable of detecting ionization...Continue reading→

Breakthrough in Nuclear Magnetism at CERN’s ISOLDE

Highlights

(photo: “Using high-resolution laser spectroscopy, the researchers were able to observe, for example, the Bohr–Weisskopf effect, where the molecule’s energy levels shift slightly due to the internal magnetic structure of the nucleus.”. Credit University of Jyväskylä) Scientists at CERN’s ISOLDE facility have, for the first time, observed how magnetism is distributed within an atomic nucleus...Continue reading→
