Data collected by the SAMURAI spectrometer at RIKEN’s RI Beam Factory (RIBF) in Japan recently led to the detection of a rare fluorine (F) isotope, known as 30F. This has opened interesting possibilities for the study of rare nuclear structures and corresponding phases, which could in turn help to test various physics theories. Data collected by…
