| The particles decayed quickly, and by carefully measuring the energies of decay products, the scientists calculated the phi mesons' masses. We have designed an experiment to maximize the solid angle for detection of all decay products (apart from the antineutrino) and to reduce the probability of correlated background events. The isotope Bismuth-213, the radioactive decay product of Actinium-225, has shown promising results in research into new treatments for two deadly cancers, lymphoma and leukemia. |
