The DAFNE collider at INFN-LNF is a unique source of strangeness (low-energy kaons) in the world, it delivers a low-momentum (< 140 MeV/c) nearly monochromatic charged kaon beam, ideal for experimental studies of low-energy kaon-nucleon/nuclei interactions. Using the experience gained with SIDDHARTA experiment, which achieved the most precise kaonic hydrogen measurement of the 1s level shift...
Hadron femtoscopy emerges as a potent tool in high-energy nuclear collision studies, providing a means to uncover intricate details of the particle-emitting source. This technique examines momentum space correlations between pairs of particles, offering insights into the spatial and temporal characteristics of the emission region. By analyzing interference patterns arising from quantum...
The Standard Model describes very well the results of our present experiments, from low energy precision measurements up to 13 TeV collisions at the LHC. How high in energy might it still work without need for new physics? Mathematically it is self-consistent up to the Planck scale. Physics-wise, if one extrapolates the Standard Model up to the Planck scale using renormalization group...
With the second quantum revolution, security in communication can be established through quantum phenomena. One of the most important tools to study the zoo of particles are symmetries and their violations by certain particles such as the CP symmetry (C...charge conjugation, P...parity). In this talk I will establish a connection between these two aspects.
Dark Matter searches are captivating as they hold the potential to unravel one of the universe's most enduring mysteries. The Global Argon Dark Matter Collaboration (GADMC) comprises the ArDM, DarkSide, DEAP, and MiniCLEAN dark matter direct detection experiments, with the collective aim of fully exploring the experimentally accessible dark matter parameter space down to the neutrino fog....
Understanding of nuclear processes occurring at low energies (< 1 MeV) and observed in laboratories is of great importance for modern particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Current experiments include studies of neutrino properties, stellar evolution, the search for non-baryonic dark matter, proton decay or neutrino-less double beta decay. The discovery of the non-zero mass of neutrinos...
Borexino is the first experiment to have systematically codified techniques needed for studying neutrino physics with a threshold down to about 100 keV, reaching unprecedented levels of radiopurity. Currently, today's rare events and low-energy neutrinos experiments ( as e.g. Juno, searches for dark matter and 0nbb decay) all have a program to obtain good radiopurity, which largely derives...
