New Precise Calculation of Nuclear Beta Decays Paves the Way to Uncover Physics Beyond the Standard Model

The Science Newswise — Quarks are the fundamental building blocks of matter and come in six flavors. The “up” and “down” flavors make up neutrons and protons. Through the weak nuclear force, one quark flavor can transmute into another. However, there’s something strange afoot in this process. Current data and theory indicate that the probabilities of quark transmutation do not … Read more
