Finally, physicists have a way to ‘see’ inside short-lived nuclei

Physicists have developed a femtoscope that can probe the structure of short-lived atomic nuclei using electron scattering. A set-up reported in a new study at RIKEN produced caesium-137 ions, moved them to a system SCRIT that organises the ions as a target, and then smashed electrons into them. The resulting…
