Radiosurgery and Scattering Experiments – Applications of Nuclear Physics

July 14, 2024

Proton Therapy is a recent development enabled by cheaper and smaller particle accelerators, similar to the CEBAF accelerator at JLab, which takes advantage of the increased localization of the energy deposited by the protons, which are heavier charged particles, compared to massless and chargeless gamma ray or X-ray photons. … More Radiosurgery and Scattering Experiments – Applications of Nuclear Physics

Lattice Nuclear Physics (feat. The Anthropic Principle)

April 1, 2017

“I’m not a religious man, but if I was, let’s just say that this would be very compelling” – Computational Lattice Gauge Theorist The spectrum of QCD bound states’ energy levels scales linearly with the input quark degrees of freedom masses, which come directly from the Higgs Mechanism (2013 Nobel Prize) of Electro-weak Symmetry Breaking. Consequently, … More Lattice Nuclear Physics (feat. The Anthropic Principle)
