Energy, time, and position resolution measurements of an array of large tapered LYSO crystals

O. Beesley, J. Carlton, D. Ding +19

We report on the performance of six custom-made tapered LYSO crystals of unprecedented volume, which constitute a sector of the 19 radiation length electromagnetic calorimeter plan…

Exploring Invisible New Physics with Exotic Pion Decays

Wolfgang Altmannshofer, Jeff A. Dror, Pierce Giffin +5

We study the sensitivity of past and future stopped-pion experiments to light, invisible dark sector particles produced in exotic pion decays. We consider two-body decays involving…

QED Meson Description of the X17 and Other Anomalous Particles

Cheuk-Yin Wong

The X17 particle, the E38 particle, and the anomalous soft photons are anomalous particles because they do not appear to belong to any known Standard Model families. We propose a Q…
