Researchers at University of Surrey, University of York, University of Edinburgh, and Argonne National Laboratory have recently revisited and solved some of the long-standing puzzles associated with the decay of 185Bi, the heaviest known proton-emitting nucleus. Their paper, published in Physical Review Letters, outlines crucial new results obtained using two advanced setups at Argonne National Laboratory’s ATLAS facility, namely the Fragment Mass Analyzer (FMA) and the Argonne Gas-Filled Analyzer (AGFA).
