Collisions of “Isobars” Produce Surprising Result (IMAGE)
Caption
Scientists expected a stronger magnetic field (B) generated in collisions of ruthenium ions (96Ru, 44+ protons) to separate charged particles more than happens in collisions of zirconium ions (96Zr, 40+ protons). The results didn’t come out as expected.
