Critical Te-104 decay measurements may help answer century-old alpha particle formation question

Critical Te-104 decay measurements may help answer century-old alpha particle formation question Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor University of Tennessee, Knoxville physicists and their colleagues have made critical measurements of the lifetime and decay energy of tellurium-104 (Te-104), an important step in answering a century-old question and understanding how hundreds of nuclei decay. The results are published in Nature. A particle determined to escape Professor...
