Theoretical calculations predict a complex excited state (0+) for helium-4 (4He) at the 20.21 MeV energy level. This state involves a coupling of three cluster configurations: hydrogen-3 and a proton, ...

The latest results from the Antihydrogen Laser Physics Apparatus (ALPHA) experiment at the CERN particle-physics laboratory in Geneva have confirmed that the electric charge of antihydrogen is indeed ...

This is an example track of an alpha particle (energy 15 MeV) from the test beam registered with the demonstrator detector mini-eTPC. Read-out electrodes of the detector are parallel to the X-Y plane, ...

Drexel’s Department of Physics is home to faculty who are leaders in the field of particle physics. Our research spans neutrino properties, neutrino astronomy, and the search for dark matter, and our ...

As science produces an ever-growing flood of information, researchers in many fields struggle with how to collect, store, manage and distribute “big data.” Perhaps they could learn a thing or two from ...
