High-Precision Experiment Offers Insight into Interactions Between Protons and Neutrons in Nuclei

The protons and neutrons that build the nucleus of the atom frequently pair up. Now, a new high-precision experiment conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has found that these particles may pick different partners depending on how packed the nucleus is.
