Nuclear physics: Neutrons cross the line
Paul-Henri Heenen1
Abstract
For most atomic nuclei, the maximum number of neutrons that can be bound is unknown. The discovery of two neutron-rich nuclei — and the confirmed absence of others — might help solve this conundrum.
Stars are element factories. Every atom in the Universe is a product of stellar nuclear reactions, but many of the stable isotopes that predominate today have formed from nuclei that existed only fleetingly.
- Paul-Henri Heenen is at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, Physique Nucléaire Théorique et Physique Mathématique, CP 229, 50 Avenue F. D. Roosevelt, Brussels B1050, Belgium.
