The goal of the DIRAC experiment at CERN (PS212) is to measure $\pi^+\pi^-$ atom lifetime with 10% precision. Such a measurement would yield precision 5% on value $S$-wave $\pi\pi$ scattering lengths combination $|a_0-a_2|$. Based part collected data we present first result lifetime, $\tau=[2.91 ^{+0.49}_{-0.62}]\times 10^{-15}$ s, and discuss major systematic errors. This corresponds $|a_0-a_2|=0.264 ^{+0.033}_{-0.020} m_{\pi}^{-1}$.

Differential evolution (DE) is an efficient algorithm to solve global optimization problems. It has a simple internal structure and uses few control parameters. In this paper we incorporate crossover based on adaptive correlation matrix into Asynchronous differential (ADE). Thanks the proposed novel automatically adapts landscape of optimized objective function. Combined with scheme for mutation scale factor automatic inflation population size results in quasi parameter-free from user's...

The transverse spin correlations ${A}_{x,x}$ and ${A}_{y,y}$ have been measured in the $\stackrel{P\vec}{d}\stackrel{P\vec}{p}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{p}_{\text{spec}}{{pp}}_{s}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ reaction at COSY-ANKE 353 MeV per nucleon. Here ${{pp}}_{s}$ denotes a proton-proton pair with low excitation energy, which is dominantly ${}^{1}{S}_{0}$ state. By measuring three protons final state it was possible to extract events where there spectator proton ${p}_{\text{spec}}$...

Particle identification is an important feature of the future SPD experiment at NICA collider. In particular, particles with momenta up to a few GeV/c by their time-of-flight will facilitate reconstruction events interest. High time-resolution modern TOF detectors dictates need obtain event collision time t0 comparable accuracy. While determination feasible through use signals supplemented track reconstruction, it proves be computationally expensive. this work we have developed dedicated...
