Back-Tracing and Flux Reconstruction for Solar Events with PAMELA

A. Bruno, O. Adriani, G. C. Barbarino +64

The PAMELA satellite-borne experiment is providing first direct measurements of Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) with energies from 80 MeV to several GeV in near-Earth space.…

Emulation of lossless exciton-polariton condensates by dual-core optical waveguides: Stability, collective modes, and dark solitons

Luca Salasnich, Boris A. Malomed, Flavio Toigo

We propose a possibility to simulate the exciton-polariton (EP) system in the lossless limit, which is not currently available in semiconductor microcavities, by means of a simple…

Density functional theory of a trapped Bose gas with tunable scattering length: from weak-coupling to unitarity

Maurizio Rossi, Francesco Ancilotto, Luca Salasnich +1

We study an interacting Bose gas at T=0 under isotropic harmonic confinement within Density Functional Theory in the Local Density approximation. The energy density functional, whi…

Non-gravitational Perturbations and Virtual Impactors: the case of asteroid 2009 FD

F. Spoto, A. Milani, D. Farnocchia +5

Asteroid 2009 FD could impact Earth between 2185 and 2196. The long term propagation to the possible impacts and the intervening planetary encounters make 2009 FD one of the most c…

Low delta-V near-Earth asteroids: A survey of suitable targets for space missions

S. Ieva, E. Dotto, D. Perna +7

In the last decades Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) have become very important targets to study, since they can give us clues to the formation, evolution and composition of the Solar Sys…

Measurement of boron and carbon fluxes in cosmic rays with the PAMELA experiment

O. Adriani, G. C. Barbarino, G. A. Bazilevskaya +61

The propagation of cosmic rays inside our galaxy plays a fundamental role in shaping their injection spectra into those observed at Earth. One of the best tools to investigate this…
