What happens when the smallest building blocks of matter refuse to play by the rules of traditional physics? For decades, atomic nuclei have posed a stubborn puzzle: at low energies, they appear as ...

ALICE collaboration identifies three-phase process that allows particles to form despite energetically unfavourable ...

NEWPORT NEWS, VA – Inside the nucleus of the atom, the building blocks of matter are anything but static. Individual particles are in a constant state of energetic motion, like dancers on a dance ...

Jefferson Lab nuclear physicist Alexandre Deur has been named an American Physical Society Fellow for the study of the spin structure of the nucleon. NEWPORT NEWS, VA – Alexandre Deur has spent his ...

Photon beams have long served as a precise probe into the subatomic world, offering unique insights into the structure and dynamics of nucleons. In photoproduction experiments, high-energy photons ...

In the world of nuclear physics, protons often take the spotlight. But now, for the first time, the neutron has stepped into it. A recent experiment using the U.S. Department of Energy’s Jefferson Lab ...
