The Sill distribution for all partial waves

Krzysztof Kyzioł, Francesco Giacosa

In high-energy physics, short-lived resonances appearing in scattering processes are described by energy-dependent spectral functions. The relativistic Breit--Wigner distribution (…

Late-Time Power Laws in Fluorescence Decays: Quantum Decay or Alternative Mechanisms?

Francesco Giacosa, Anna Kolbus, Krzysztof Kyziol +4

In quantum mechanics, the properties of an unstable system are closely related to its corresponding energy distribution. One of the predictions of the theory is the emergence of a…

On the failure of the rule in and decays

Arthur Vereijken, Francesco Giacosa

The rule relates hadronic decays of the and through the ratio of their wave functions at the origin, but is strongly violated in several vector--pseudoscalar (…

The weak decay constant of positronium

Milena Piotrowska, Francesco Giacosa

The positronium, as the lightest purely leptonic bound state, provides an ideal testing ground for a quantum field--theoretical (QFT) description of composite systems. While its el…

Two-exponential decay of Acridine Orange

Francesco Giacosa, Anna Kolbus, Krzysztof Kyziol +4

In this work, we experimentally study the fluorescence decay of Acridine Orange at late times, in order to test whether a late-time power-law behaviour emerges, a feature expected…

Quantum Late-Time Decay and Channel Dependence

Francesco Giacosa, Anna Kolbus, Krzysztof Kyziol +4

Quantum mechanics predicts deviations from exponential decay at short and long times, yet experimental evidence is limited. We report a power-law tail after 10 lifetimes in t…

Nonexponential decay law of the 2P-1S transition of the H-atom

Francesco Giacosa, Krzysztof Kyzioł

We evaluate numerically the survival probability for the unstable 2P excited state of the hydrogen atom, which decays into the ground-state 1S emitting one photon ($τ\sim 1.…

Two-photon decay of para-positronium within a composite approach

Milena Piotrowska, Francesco Giacosa

The decay of the para-positronium into two photons is studied in the framework of a composite Quantum Field Theoretical approach. This amounts to the evaluation of the electron-pos…

Introductory visual lecture on QCD at large-: bound states, chiral models, and phase diagram

Francesco Giacosa

In these lectures, we present the behavior of conventional mesons, glueballs, and hybrids in the large- limit of QCD. To this end, we use an approach based on rat…

A QFT scalar toy model analogous to positronium and pion decays

Milena Piotrowska, Francesco Giacosa

In the framework of a scalar QFT, we evaluate the decay of an initial massive state into two massless particles through a triangle-shaped diagram in which virtual fields propagate.…

A study of the excited radial vector meson

Milena Piotrowska, Francesco Giacosa

We study the strong and radiative decays of the radial excitation of the meson, with quantum numbers , and denoted as , by making…

Strong decays of excited vector mesons

M. Piotrowska, F. Giacosa

We study two nonets of excited vector mesons, predominantly corresponding to radially excited vector mesons with quantum numbers and to or…
