During typical DVCS, a nucleon (proton and neutron collectively) interacts with an electron. This reaction transfers some of the electron’s energy to the nucleon, causing it to release photons.

The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and one electron in the region outside the nucleus. The electron and proton are attracted to each other.

He called it a neutron, and imagined it as a paired proton and electron. There was no evidence for any of these ideas. Chadwick kept the problem in the back of his mind while working on other things.

Does the proton decay? While this was a famous prediction of Grand Unified Theories (GUTS) developed in the 1970s and 1980s, ...

The ion has two positive protons but one electron so it is a positive ion. Helium ion, two neutrons, two protons and three electrons. Nuclear fission close nuclear fissionThe splitting of a large ...

Having demonstrated this effect using proton-based FLASH treatments, researchers from Aarhus University in Denmark have now repeated their investigations using electron-based FLASH (eFLASH). Reporting ...

Chemists reveal method for differentiating PCET mechanisms -- a key step for steering fundamental energy conversion and redox catalysis processes.

In the most common form of this decay, beta-minus decay, a neutron decays into a proton, also spitting out a negatively charged electron in order to conserve electric charge; beta-plus decay does ...
