New Decay Observation Enhances Dating and Nuclear Understanding

Researchers from KDK Collaboration at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility of Oak Ridge National Laboratory recently made the first direct observations of the rare decay process such as K-40 decays into Calcium-40 and into Argon-40 through electron capture, providing insights into nuclear structure, potentially leading to improved accuracy in geological dating and a deeper understanding of nuclear physics.

The KDK Collaboration Identifies Rare Nuclear Decay in Long-Lived Potassium Isotope

Potassium-40 usually decays to calcium-40, but about 10 percent of the time it decays to argon-40 through electron capture. One variant of this decay path ends
