Characterisation and performance of the PADME electromagnetic calorimeter
P. Albicocco, J. Alexander, F. Bossi +42
The PADME experiment at the LNF Beam Test Facility searches for dark photons produced in the annihilation of positrons with the electrons of a fix target. The strategy is to look f…
Magnetic fields produced by electric railways
Martin Monteiro, Giovanni Organtini, Arturo C. Marti
We propose a simple experiment to explore magnetic fields created by electric railways and compare them with a simple model and parameters estimated using easily available informat…
For an early introduction of quantum mechanics concepts in physics curriculum
Giovanni Organtini
In this paper we suggest to anticipate the introduction of concepts such as quantum state and the operators connected to their transformations well in advance of what is usually do…
A device to safely perform experiments on radioactivity
Giovanni Organtini
This paper describes a cost effective and safe device to perform realistic experiments about the physics of radioactivity in classrooms. It can be used to study both and r…
Characterization and Performance of PADME's Cherenkov-Based Small-Angle Calorimeter
A. Frankenthal, J. Alexander, B. Buonomo +22
The PADME experiment, at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (LNF), in Italy, will search for invisible decays of the hypothetical dark photon via the process $e^+e^-\rightarrow γ…
