The $\bar{K}N$ system at threshold is a sensitive testing ground for low energy QCD, especially the explicit chiral symmetry breaking. Therefore, we have measured $K$-series x rays of kaonic hydrogen atoms DA$\Phi$NE electron-positron collider Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, and determined most precise values strong-interaction energy-level shift width $1s$ atomic state. As x-ray detectors, used large-area silicon drift detectors having excellent timing resolution, which were developed...
The DEAR (DAPhiNE exotic atom research) experiment measured the energy of x rays emitted in transitions to ground state kaonic hydrogen. values for shift epsilon and width Gamma 1s due K(-)p strong interaction are epsilon(1s)=-193 +/- 37 (stat) 6 (syst) eV Gamma(1s)=249 111 30 eV, most precise yet obtained. pattern hydrogen K-series lines, K(alpha), K(beta), K(gamma), was disentangled first time.
Kaonic atoms are exotic atomic systems where an electron is replaced by a negatively charged kaon which also experiences the strong interaction with nucleus. Precision spectroscopy of kaonic represents excellent tool to study particles strangeness. This work reviews progress and prospects in modern era atom experiments, discusses constraints on low-energy theories strangeness sector.
We have measured the Balmer-series x-rays of kaonic $^4$He atoms using novel large-area silicon drift x-ray detectors in order to study low-energy $\bar{K}$-nucleus strong interaction. The energy $3d \to 2p$ transition was determined be 6467 $\pm$ 3 (stat) 2 (syst) eV. resulting strong-interaction energy-level shift is agreement with theoretical calculations, thus eliminating a long-standing discrepancy between theory and experiment.
A model where a Dirac fermion is coupled to background dilaton field considered study s-wave scattering of by back ground black hole. It found that an uncomfortable situation towards information loss scenario arises when one loop correction gets involved during bosonization.
The Pauli exclusion principle (PEP) is one of the basic principles modern physics and, even if there are no compelling reasons to doubt its validity, it still debated today because an intuitive, elementary explanation missing, and unique stand among symmetries physics. present Letter reports a new limit on probability that PEP violated by electrons, in search for anomalous Kα line copper: presence this soft X-ray copper fluorescence would signal transition ground state already occupied 2...
The kaonic (3)He and (4)He X-rays emitted in the [Formula: see text] transitions were measured SIDDHARTA experiment. widths of 2p states determined to be text], respectively. Both results are consistent with theoretical predictions. width is much smaller than value by experiments performed 70's 80's, while was for first time.
We have observed an intense high-energy component in inclusive He4(stopped K−,d) spectrum. For back-to-back Λd pairs a prominent event cluster has been found just below the m4He+mK−−mn mass threshold invariant spectrum of Λdn events, which is evidence for three-nucleon absorption process K− He4. In addition, appreciable strength revealed ~3220 MeV/c2. Well separated Σ0dn events show peak similar to case Λdn.Received 5 September 2007DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.76.068202©2007 American...
The spin–statistics connection, in particular the Pauli exclusion principle (PEP), plays a very important role our comprehension of matter and nature. Presently, PEP violation, possible within some theories, generates lively debate; it has given birth to few experiments looking for tiny effects. violation experiment put strong limit on probability by electrons, using method searching forbidden atomic transitions copper target. In this paper we present experiment, obtained results future...
