IRIDE: Interdisciplinary research infrastructure based on dual electron linacs and lasers
This paper describes the scientific aims and potentials as well as the preliminary technical design of RUDE, an innovative tool for multi-disciplinary investigations in a wide field of scientific, technological and industrial applications. IRIDE will be a high intensity "particles factory", based on a combination of high duty cycle radio-frequency superconducting electron linacs and of high energy lasers. Conceived to provide unique research possibilities for particle physics, for condensed matter physics, chemistry and material science, for structural biology and industrial applications, IRIDE will open completely new research possibilities and advance our knowledge in many branches of sci…
A proposal to measure the hadronic contribution to the g-2 in the space-like region
We propose a novel approach to determine the leading hadronic corrections to the muon g-2. It consists in a measurement of the effective electromagnetic coupling in the space-like region. This method may become feasible at flavor factories as well as with μ e scattering resulting in a determination potentially competitive with the dispersive approach via time-like data.
Theory for muon-electron scattering @ 10ppm: A report of the MUonE theory initiative
We review the current status of the theory predictions for elastic μ-e scattering, describing the recent activities and future plans of the theory initiative related to the proposed MUonE experiment.
Quest for precision in hadronic cross sections at low energy: Monte Carlo tools vs. experimental data
We present the achievements of the last years of the experimental and theoretical groups working on hadronic cross section measurements at the low-energy e (+) e (-) colliders in Beijing, Frascati, Ithaca, Novosibirsk, Stanford and Tsukuba and on tau decays. We sketch the prospects in these fields for the years to come. We emphasise the status and the precision of the Monte Carlo generators used to analyse the hadronic cross section measurements obtained as well with energy scans as with radiative return, to determine luminosities and tau decays. The radiative corrections fully or approximately implemented in the various codes and the contribution of the vacuum polarisation are discussed.
