Solved: The Case of the Missing “Excited” Nucleons
Discovery could provide a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the three quarks enslaved inside the nucleon.

Precision analytical techniques developed for fundamental experiments in nuclear physics now enable routine measurements of ultra-low concentrations of Krypton radioisotopes in samples of water, ice, and gas.
Imaging tools aid research in global climate change, plant genetics, biofuels, agriculture, and carbon sequestration.
New calculations have quantified the boundaries and uncertainties of the ‘chart of the nuclides’—the extended periodic table of all matter.
Observation of these particles in cosmic rays with space based detectors would imply large amounts of anti-matter somewhere in the universe.
Theory and experiment combine to provide the most precise empirical extraction of the proton’s tensor charge, a fundamental property of the proton.
