Design of a mission to measure the shape and substructure of the 511 keV gamma-ray line from the center of the Milky Way
Kun Hu, Matthew Fritts, Daniel Becker +23
The 511 keV electron-positron annihilation feature near the galactic center has been detected for more than half a century, yet its origin remains a mystery. In this paper, we desc…
Towards Precision Spectroscopy of Antiprotonic Atoms for Probing Strong-field QED
Gonçalo Baptista, Shikha Rathi, Michael Roosa +26
PAX (antiProtonic Atom X-ray spectroscopy) is a new experiment with the aim to test strong-field quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects by performing high-precision x-ray spectrosco…
A high-speed, high-resolution Transition Edge Sensor spectrometer for soft X-rays at the Advanced Photon Source
Orlando Quaranta, Don Jensen, Kelsey Morgan +12
This project explores the design and development of a transition edge sensor (TES) spectrometer for resonant soft X- ray scattering (RSXS) measurements developed in collaboration b…
Few-electron highly charged muonic Ar atoms verified by electronic x rays
T. Okumura, T. Azuma, D. A. Bennett +40
Electronic x rays emitted by muonic Ar atoms in the gas phase were observed using a superconducting transition-edge-sensor microcalorimeter. The high-precision energy spectra p…
