A Cosmic Connection: Properties of Nuclei and Properties of the Cosmos

Homestake Mine (PAN Underground)

Things we discussed were: The origin of elements, atomic structure and radiation, and the Homestake mine project.

I had never learned that the nucleus has a shell structure. I have a better understanding of the different types of decay.

It was interesting to hear about the different research that PANUnderground was proposing to do in the mine.

I still want to better understand the structure of the nucleus. I will be looking to see what happens with the mine in the near future.

Pat,
I believe that those issues will be addressed in several ways, yet. Also check the blog for some informational links on this subject.
