Two Proton Decay – a new mode of decay! Researchers have monitored Ne-18 decay through one of the modes illustrated above. They believe they have finally detected the elusive dual-proton (He-2)decay, rather than democratic emission. The third mode, sequential proton emission, is not possible for the excited state of neon formed in a recent Oak Ridge National Laboratory experiment. Reported by: J.

An illustration of how radioactive probe atoms implanted in a solid can act as "spies" on their microscopic environment. The properties of the probe atom are modified by the local microscopic environment and that information is carried away by the radiation emitted in the radioactive decay that follows.

Medical Application Combining an RI beam and the PET allows simultaneous diagnosis and treatment of cancers. A test experiment of this combination using a 11C beam demonstrates that the beam irradiation is possible while monitoring the stopping location inside an object within a few mm accuracys. This technique is expected to be applicable to other medical fields than the cancer treatment and to fields other than medicine in the future. April 8, 2003 IPR, India

Nucleosynthesis of the light elements Prior to about one second after the Big Bang, matter - in the form of free neutrons and protons - was very hot and dense. As the Universe expanded, the temperature fell and some of these nucleons were synthesised into the light elements: deuterium (D), helium-3, and helium-4. Theoretical calculations for these nuclear processes predict, for example, that about a quarter of the Universe consists of helium-4, a result which is in good agreement with current stellar observations. The heavier elements, of which we are partly made, were created later in the interiors of stars and spread widely in supernova explosions. April 8, 2003 IPR, India

THE HOT BIG BANG MODEL About ten billion years ago, the Universe began in a gigantic explosion - the Hot Big Bang! Its subsequent evolution from one hundredth of a second upto the present day can be reliably described by the Big Bang model. This includes the expansion of the Universe, the origin of light elements and the relic radiation from the initial fire all , as well as a framework for understanding the formation of galaxies and other large-scale structures. In fact, the Big Bang model is now so well-attested that it is known as the standard cosmology. April 8, 2003 IPR, India
