Professor Guo, professor He, and professor Yan, from the Nuclear Analysis Research Center for Lunar Sample at the Department of Nuclear Physics of the China Institute of Atomic Energy, examine experimental results.
Researchers at the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) have significantly enhanced the method of detecting iron-60 (60Fe), a rare isotope found in lunar samples, using the HI-13 tandem accelerator. This achievement paves the way of detecting 60Fe in lunar samples for a deeper understanding of cosmic events like supernovae that occurred millions of years ago. https://doi.org/10.1007/s41365-024-01453-x
