In recent papers [PLB 837 (2023) 137669 and NPA 1039 (2023) 122795] we showed that all measured (1sΛ, 1pΛ) pairs of Λ binding energies in Λ-hypernuclei 12 ≤ A ≤ 208, can be obtained from a Λ-nucleus optical potential with only two adjustable ΛN and ΛN N parameters, associated with leading linear and quadratic terms in the nuclear density. Consequences of suppressing ΛN N interactions between...
Kaonic atoms X-ray spectroscopy is a unique tool to provide experimental data with consequences going from particle and nuclear physics to astrophysics.
30 years ago kaonic atoms were used to measure the charged kaon mass with unprecedented precision. However, there is still a discrepancy of 60 keV between the two most precise measurements, leading to an error of 16 keV on the charged kaon...
The SIDDHARTA-2 collaboration at the INFN Laboratories of Frascati aims to reinforce the present knowledge on kaonic atoms by performing several measurements on various targets in parallel with the main K-d experiment.
The recents improvements of CdZnTe detectors in terms of energy resolution, stability and efficiency suggested these devices as ideal tools to measure intermediate-mass kaonic...
High precision X-ray spectroscopy of kaonic atoms offers the unique opportunity to investigate the strong interaction (QCD) in the low-energy regime, by allowing to directly access the antikaon-nucleus interaction at threshold. In order to do this, a new dedicated technology of Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs) has been developed by the SIDDHARTA-2 collaboration, with an optimized geometry and a...
