First measurement of kaonic deuterium X-ray transitions
Massimiliano Bazzi, Francesco Clozza, Carlo Guaraldo +39
The study of the strong interaction among hadrons at low energies remains one of the key challenges in fundamental physics because of its non-perturbative nature, which makes theor…
Atomic correlation effects in collapse-induced spontaneous radiation
Simone Manti, Nicola Bortolotti, Lajos Diósi +2
Collapse models introduce stochastic and nonlinear modifications in the quantum dynamics, predicting observable effects, such as spontaneous radiation from charged particles, which…
Experimental determination of the Dalitz plot for positronium decay using the J-PET detection system
Magdalena Skurzok, Steven D. Bass, Kamila Kasperska +37
We present the first measurements of the Dalitz plot for ortho-positronium annihilation to three photons. Our measurements, accurate to about 3% statistical and 2-3% systematic unc…
First-in-human quantum entanglement imaging
Pawel Moskal, Deepak Kumar, Sushil Sharma +37
Annihilation photons are quantum-entangled in polarization, a phenomenon that has not been exploited in medical diagnostics so far. We present the first in vivo imaging of the degr…
Kaonic Copper and Fluorine Absolute Yields Measurement with a CZT-based Detection System at DANE
Francesco Artibani, Simone Manti, Leonardo Abbene +36
\noindent In this work, new measurements of absolute X-ray yields for several transitions in kaonic copper and, for the first time, in kaonic fluorine are reported. The data were c…
Probing Nuclear Structure with Kaonic Atoms through E2 Resonance Mixing
Simone Manti, Luca De Paolis, Leonardo Abbene +33
Kaonic atoms provide a unique laboratory to investigate the interplay between atomic, nuclear, and strong-interaction physics. In heavy nuclei, atomic transitions can couple to low…
