Determining Matter Distribution Inside the Nucleons

A graphic illustration with a large pink circle at lower-center, with a thick red-line outline and several different shapes/colors floating in it. There's a squiggly line at top-right, and a blue outlined blob top right, and inbetween 2 blue balls with lines linking the 2 floating items at the top.

CUORE Probes Lepton Number Violation with 2 tonne-year Dataset

research scientist examines a crystal of the CUORE detector, an array of 19 towers containing nearly 1000 cryogenic calorimeters. The copper support structures provide strong thermal coupling to the CUORE cryostat (not shown), which maintains the detector close to absolute zero (0.010 K). (Credit: CUORE Collaboration)

Ion recycling to illuminate the heaviest elements

Illustration of the ion trap used by the ISOLDE team to measure the electron affinity of chlorine. In the trap, chlorine anions are reflected back and forth between two electrostatic ion mirrors, allowing the laser beam (pink) to probe the anions for much longer than in conventional measurements. The laser frequency is tuned to find the exact photon energy above which the extra electron (small white circle) is removed from the anion. (Image: MIRACLS collaboration)
