The beta-neutrino correlation for 35Ar measured with WITCH. KU Leuven
The fundamental forces which govern the atomic nucleus offer us deep insight into our physical world. While particle colliders such as the LHC at CERN search directly for new exotic particles at high energy by attempting to create them directly in proton-proton collisions, an alternative approach is to measure certain nuclear process very precisely, such as the decay of radioactive isotopes, and compare the findings with the predictions from ...
