Surprising Preference in Particle Spin Alignment
Spin orientation preference may point to a previously unknown influence of the strong nuclear force—and a way to measure its local fluctuations.
Zeroing in on a Fundamental Property of the Proton’s Internal Dynamics
Theory and experiment combine to provide the most precise empirical extraction of the proton’s tensor charge, a fundamental property of the proton.
Understanding the Origin of Matter with the CUORE Experiment
Physicists use a detector under an Italian mountain to search for rare nuclear processes to explain why our Universe has more matter than antimatter.
