Trap modulation spectroscopy of the Mott-insulator transition in optical lattices

H. Lignier, A. Zenesini, D. Ciampini +5

We introduce a new technique to probe the properties of an interacting cold atomic gas that can be viewed as a dynamical compressibility measurement. We apply this technique to the…

Fermi LAT Observations of the Vela Pulsar

A. A. Abdo

The Vela pulsar is the brightest persistent source in the GeV sky and thus is the traditional first target for new gamma-ray observatories. We report here on initial Fermi Large Ar…

Juno, the angular momentum of Jupiter and the Lense-Thirring effect

Lorenzo Iorio

The recently approved Juno mission will orbit Jupiter for one year in a highly eccentric (r_min=1.06R_Jup, r_max=39R_Jup) polar orbit (i=90 deg) to accurately map, among other thin…

Improving the performance of the single-dish Cherenkov telescope MAGIC through the use of signal timing

MAGIC Collaboration

The Cherenkov light flashes produced by Extensive Air Showers are very short in time. A high bandwidth and fast digitizing readout, therefore, can minimize the influence of the bac…
