Some have even suggested that quarks within a neutron star might interact so strongly that strange quarks appear, making them strange quark stars. One way to explore these ideas is to look at pulsars.

In superallowed decay, the nuclei lack spin making it easy to perform the required calculations. The framework revealed that measuring quark mixing has been challenging due to the various forces ...
