He wants deuteron or deuton to be the name of its atomic nucleus.
By his method, Rabi learned, for example, that the deuteron, the simplest known nucleus, revolves like a football spinning end over end.
Tiny drops of hot quark soup: How small can they be? New analyses of deuteron-gold collisions indicate that collisions between gold ions and much smaller deuterons, designed as control experiments, may be serving up miniscule drops of hot quark-gluon plasma.
