DNA double-strand break (DSB) induction is one of the phenotypes of cellular damage from radiation exposure and is commonly quantified by γ-H2AX assay with the number of excess fluorescent foci per ...

We present recent experiments on an innovative alpha particle detection system, designed to investigate charged particle confinement and transport in high magnetic fields. Our test platform operates ...

Though alpha radioactivity was discovered more than 125 years ago, where the particle comes from is still a mystery, especially in nuclei that have large numbers of protons and neutrons. "Alpha decay ...
