Xabier Marcano, Claudia García and Enrique Álvarez have contributed chapters to the popular science book coordinated by Quintín Garrido
For a new open-source book on the great milestones of science, Elusives ESR Xabier Marcano has contributed with a chapter titled "Beyond the Standard Model".
The book, written in Spanish, is titled CIENCIA, y un gran paso para la humanidad!!!, which translates to SCIENCE, and a great step for humankind!!!
IFT members Claudia García and Enrique Álvarez have also written a chapter each, on the Standard Model and on gravity, respectively.
In a paper published in Nature on the 24th of April, the XENON Col-laboration has detected a decay of 124XE at the experiment XENON1T for Dark Matter detection located at the INFN Gran Sasso laboratory in Italy.
Before this detection, it was predicted that the isotope's decay had a half-life (the time that it takes for half of the unstable nuclei in a sample to decay) many orders of magnitude bigger than the age of the universe, but there was no evidence of the process.
