Performance of the photon spectrometer TAPS for deep subthreshold pion detection
2005
Abstract We present in this paper the characteristics of the BaF 2 spectrometer, TAPS, which allow to detect rare electromagnetic events in a high hadronic background. The case of deep subthreshold pions produced in 36 Ar+ 197 Au collisions at 25A and 35A MeV, in which the pion signal is much weaker than the hadronic background and comparable to the cosmic ray background, is studied.
Multi-nucleon mechanism for subthreshold antiproton production in proton-nucleus reactions
1995
We study a many-body (multipion) mechanism for ¯p subthreshold production in proton-nucleus collisions. The incoming proton and the interacting nucleons in the target act as sources of pions that merge to produce a nucleon-antiproton pair. The calculation takes fully into account the initial state interaction and antiproton absorption in the final state. The cooperation of several nucleons in the initial state reduces the threshold for the reaction allowing for production rates that may account for 15–50% of the total ¯p production. We point out that this contribution should be added to the primary ¯p production mechanism due toΔ formation and rescattering, as found by other groups, and sho…
The binding energy of 184 476 X in the droplet model
1985
The positron spectrum emitted in the U-U-reaction at subthreshold energy could be interpreted in terms of the formation of a giant nucleus if the binding of the latter is 100 MeV stronger than predicted by the usual droplet model parametrisation. We analyse the extrapolation to giant nuclei by accounting properly for the error propagation when the parameters are fitted to measured binding energies and radii. The influence of higher order terms is discussed.
PIPERADE: A double Penning trap for mass separation and mass spectrometry at DESIR/SPIRAL2
2021
International audience; A double Penning trap is being commissioned at CENBG Bordeaux for the future DESIR/SPIRAL2 facility of GANIL. The setup is designed to perform both high-resolution mass separation of the ion beam for trap-assisted spectroscopy, and high-accuracy mass spectrometry of short-lived nuclides. In this paper, the technical details of the new device are described. First offline tests with the purification trap are also presented, showing a mass resolving power of about 105.
COLLINEAR LASER SPECTROSCOPY ON NEUTRON-RICH Mn ISOTOPES APPROACHING N = 40
2015
We have studied 51,53−64Mn (Z=25) via bunched-beam collinear laser spectroscopy at ISOLDE, CERN. Model-independent information on the ground- and isomeric state spins, as well as their g-factors is obtained from the measured hyperfine spectra. The spins are essential for further establishing the level schemes in the mass region, while the g-factors reveal the changing ground state wave functions in the Mn chain approaching N=40. ispartof: pages:699-702 ispartof: Acta Physica Polonica B vol:46 issue:3 pages:699-702 ispartof: location:Zakopane, Poland status: published
Direct limits on the interaction of antiprotons with axion-like dark matter
2019
Astrophysical observations indicate that there is roughly five times more dark matter in the Universe than ordinary baryonic matter, with an even larger amount of the Universe's energy content due to dark energy. So far, the microscopic properties of these dark components have remained shrouded in mystery. In addition, even the five percent of ordinary matter in our Universe has yet to be understood, since the Standard Model of particle physics lacks any consistent explanation for the predominance of matter over antimatter. Inspired by these central problems of modern physics, we present here a direct search for interactions of antimatter with dark matter, and place direct constraints on th…
g Factor of Lithiumlike Silicon: New Challenge to Bound-State QED
2019
The recently established agreement between experiment and theory for the $g$ factors of lithiumlike silicon and calcium ions manifests the most stringent test of the many-electron bound-state quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects in the presence of a magnetic field. In this Letter, we present a significant simultaneous improvement of both theoretical $g_\text{th} = 2.000\,889\,894\,4\,(34)$ and experimental $g_\text{exp} = 2.000\,889\,888\,45\,(14)$ values of the $g$ factor of lithiumlike silicon $^{28}$Si$^{11+}$. The theoretical precision now is limited by the many-electron two-loop contributions of the bound-state QED. The experimental value is accurate enough to test these contributions…
The Anti-de Sitter Gott Universe: A Rotating BTZ Wormhole
1999
Recently it has been shown that a 2+1 dimensional black hole can be created by a collapse of two colliding massless particles in otherwise empty anti-de Sitter space. Here we generalize this construction to the case of a non-zero impact parameter. The resulting spacetime, which may be regarded as a Gott universe in anti-de Sitter background, contains closed timelike curves. By treating these as singular we are able to interpret our solution as a rotating black hole, hence providing a link between the Gott universe and the BTZ black hole. When analyzing the spacetime we see how the full causal structure of the interior can be almost completely inferred just from considerations of the conform…
High-precision mass spectrometer for light ions
2020
The precise knowledge of the atomic masses of light atomic nuclei, e.g. the proton, deuteron, triton and helion, is of great importance for several fundamental tests in physics. However, the latest high-precision measurements of these masses carried out at different mass spectrometers indicate an inconsistency of five standard deviations. To determine the masses of the lightest ions with a relative precision of a few parts per trillion and investigate this mass problem a cryogenic multi-Penning trap setup, LIONTRAP (Light ION TRAP), was constructed. This allows an independent and more precise determination of the relevant atomic masses by measuring the cyclotron frequency of single trapped …
