This demanding experiment is only possible with the help of PSI's proton accelerator facility. There Aldo Antognini's team generates so-called muonic helium-3, in which the two electrons of the helium ...

Scientists from an international collaboration have found evidence of alpha particles at the surface of neutron-rich heavy nuclei, providing new insights into the structure of neutron stars, as well ...
Puzzling problem: Karsten Schuhmann (left) and Aldo Antognini of the Paul Scherrer Institute inspect the laser system that was used for the laser spectroscopy measurements on muonic deuterium.
