The detection of neutrons and the utilisation of scintillation techniques stand at the forefront of advances in nuclear science, security, and medical imaging. Neutrons, with their weak interaction ...
A free neutron outside a nucleus is not stable. It undergoes beta decay at a probability. Over time, the number of free neutrons decreases exponentially at a time constant, which is called the neutron ...
UT Austin scientists were involved in detecting two events, occurring 10 days apart in January 2020, in which black holes and neutron stars collided. For the first time, researchers have confirmed the ...
