Quark nuggets search using 2350 Kg gravitational waves aluminum bar detectors
P. Astone, M. Bassan, E. Coccia +12
The gravitational wave resonant detectors can be used as detectors of quark nuggets, like nuclearites (nuclear matter with a strange quark). This search has been carried out using…

Vibrational excitation induced by electron beam and cosmic rays in normal and superconductive aluminum bars
M. Bassan, B. Buonomo, G. Cavallari +13
We report new measurements of the acoustic excitation of an Al5056 superconductive bar when hit by an electron beam, in a previously unexplored temperature range, down to 0.35 K. T…

Experimental study of high energy electron interactions in a superconducting aluminum alloy resonant bar
M. Barucci, M. Bassan, B. Buonomo +17
Peak amplitude measurements of the fundamental mode of oscillation of a suspended aluminum alloy bar hit by an electron beam show that the amplitude is enhanced by a factor ~3.5 wh…
