Breakthrough in Alpha Theranostics: First Images of Ac-225 in a Clinical PET Scanner

Side-by-side comparison of TOF-CGI image in a SIEMENS Vision scanner vs a SPECT image in a GE Hawkeye 4. The TOF-CGI images show much lower noise, which is reflected in superior SNR with respect to SPECT. (Credit: NSD's Applied Nuclear Physics Group)

Nuclear Physicists Discover New Rule for Peppy Partner Picking

Gradient Flow for Parton Distribution Functions: First Application to the Pion

The pion valence PDF is reconstructed from the moments, which are computed in this lattice QCD study, using a standard parametric form x^α(1−x)^β. The dark and light blue bands represent these theoretical results including and excluding the highest extracted moment. The remaining three bands correspond to phenomenological extractions from experimental data performed by different groups.

Can the 88-Inch Cyclotron Save the Periodic Table?

NSD’s Jennifer Pore discusses Mendeleev’s Periodic Table, highlighting the importance of organizing elements by their true chemical properties if the periodic table is to retain its predictive power. (Credit: Corina Andreiou, Simon Fraser University)

Fast Machine Learning-Enabled Uncertainty Quantification for Radiological Mapping

Illustration of the radiological mapping and image reconstruction process, which plays a critical role in many nuclear security related applications. A detector system carried by an unmanned aerial vehicle scans the field to measure the counts due to environmental background and potential radioactive sources. The data collected during the mapping is processed on an edge computer. With traditional methods, such as MLEM, the major results output from the computer is a map showing the estimated radioactivity intensity. Using Bayesian methods, the major results output includes not only a radioactivity intensity estimate, but also their associated uncertainties. (Credit: Jayson R. Vavrek)

Energy-energy Correlators to Probe Particle Hadronization at Colliders

Energy-energy correlators (EECs) measure the correlations between two energy flows with an opening angle at colliders and can be described by the transverse momentum dependent di-hadron fragmentation functions (Credit: Feng Yuan)

Tracing a New Astrophysical Pathway for Making the Heavy Elements

Three labeled circles – connected by double-ended arrow lines, indicating a continuous, integrated, multidirectional process – surround a center rectangle with the words 'i process' on a background image of a starfield and multicolored nebula. The top circle says "Astrophysical Modeling" with an abstract graph image showing a cloud of rainbow-colored grid lines. The lower right circle says" Nuclear Data" and has an image of small bubbles or circles indicating an abstract configuration of subatomic nuclear particles. The lower-left circle is labeled "Astronomy" with a cartoon image of a telescope.

Dark Matter's Quantum Nature Leaves No Trace in Detectors

A graph from the PRL publication showing that the quantum nature of axion dark matter (shown on the left), an ultralight wave-based dark-matter candidate, vanishes when viewed by a modern detector (shown on the right), whether or not researchers are using advanced quantum technologies to detect them.
