28. The SIDDHARTA-2 experiment: present status and future perspectives

Dr Florin Sirghi (INFN-LNF)

13/10/2023, 10:00

SIDDHARTA-2 represents a state-of-the-art experiment designed to perform dedicated measurements of kaonic atoms, which are particular atomic configurations composed of a negatively charged kaon and a nucleus. Investigating these exotic atoms provides an exceptional means to comprehend the strong interactions in the non-perturbative regime involving strangeness. At present, the SIDDHARTA-2...

26. Femtoscopy studies of meson-baryon and baryon-baryon pairs with strangeness

The two-particle momentum correlation function from high-energy nuclear collisions is beginning to be used to study hadron-hadron interaction. Because this observable is sensitive to the low-energy interaction, it is useful to study the nature of the near-threshold resonances and the underlying mechanism of the interaction. The meson-baryon and baryon-baryon interaction in strangeness sector...

6. The minreview of lower Sigma(1/2-) around 1400 MeV

Jia-jun Wu (School of Physical Sciences, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences)

In this talk, we will introduce the recent progress of the Sigma(1/2-) state around 1400 MeV. This state is beyond the usual quark model and has been predicted to exist as a pentaquark, compact state, or molecular state. Various experiments have provided evidences for the existence of this state, but it has not been confirmed yet. Therefore, it is crucial to observe this state and determine...

39. Structure Probing by Holographic Imaging at Nanometer scale with X-ray lasers (SPHINX)

Mihail Antoniu Iliescu (INFN-LNF)

13/10/2023, 12:00

The SPHINX project aims building femtosecond-exposure X-ray holographic cameras for imaging microscopic samples and their internal parts (in-vivo cell elements, viruses and nanorobotic devices) with nanometer resolution. The proposal is based on a new implementation of phase-contrast holography that overcomes the limitations encountered by the absorption-contrast systems, namely the low energy...

32. Probing hadron-quark phase transition in twin stars using f-modes

Bikram Keshari Pradhan (IUCAA, Pune, India)

13/10/2023, 12:30

There could be a deconfined quark phase at the ultra-high density core of the neutron stars. The nature of the deconfinement transition is a matter of debate. Whether it exhibits a jump in the thermodynamic variables or represents, a crossover is a question addressed in laboratory experiments and compact star observations. A suitable construction of the hybrid equations of state (EoS) can lead...

43. From strangeness to wine; the weird but exciting journey of the VOXES spectrometer

Alessandro Scordo (Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati INFN)

In this a bit off-topic talk, the history of the VOXES spectrometer will be presented, together with its main characteristics and results.
The VOXES spectrometer was intended to be developed for high precision kaonic atoms but then also other possible applications became appealing.
This is the story of how we moved from the VOXES spectrometer for nuclear physics to the MITIQO project to...
