The Electron Ion collider(EIC) will be the ultimate facility to address the internal dynamics played by the quarks and gluons to global phenomenology of the nucleons and nuclei. Particle identification (PID) is crucial for major physics cases to be addressed by the EIC. The collaboration ATHENA has performed a detailed systematic study of the high momentum PID performance in the forward and...
The study of kaonic atoms plays a key role for the understanding of the low-energy quantum chromodynamics (QCD) in the strangeness sector, by allowing to directly access the antikaon-nucleus interaction at threshold. State-of-the-art X-ray detectors and suitable experimental technologies allow to perform kaonic atoms X-ray spectroscopy with unprecedented precision, providing fundamental...
The recent progress in the field of X-ray detection and their readout electronics contributed, in these last years, to a renewed interest in new and more precise measurements of kaonic atoms.
The DAFNE machine at the INFN Laboratories of Frascati is still the best facility in the world, in terms of purity of the kaon beam, luminosity, and kinematic conditions, where these important...
The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is the new large-scale particle accelerator planned in the US and designed to collide polarized electrons with polarized protons and nuclei and investigate the dynamics of quarks and gluons, unlocking the secrets of QCD. For the general purpose detector at EIC, the capability to distinguish charged particles over the full momentum range is required.
A prototype...
