Xenon has more than 50 isotopes, including nine stable ones (second only to tin, which has ten). 129 Xe, with a spin-1/2 nucleus, provides large NMR signals for imaging studies in the lungs.

The basic principle operating in LZ is relatively straightforward, if groundbreaking: when a dark matter particle acts with a xenon nucleus, however slightly, it could produce a flash of light and ...

Both groups published papers on the same day in Physical Review Letters with evidence of neutrino interactions in their detector from nuclear recoils as a neutrino scatters from a xenon nucleus.

Dark Matter experiment is a large research effort involving over 200 scientists and engineers at 40 institutions worldwide.

struck the entire nucleus of xenon atoms rather than just their constituent pieces. Signals from these events are strikingly similar to those produced if specific weakly interacting massive ...

from the aluminium in bike frames to the xenon gas in glowing shop signs. It is the number of protons in an atom’s nucleus, known as its atomic number, that determines which element it represents.
