Cover Story: Novel large-area silicon drift detectors (SDDs) for high-precision X-ray spectroscopy were developed and used by the SIDDHARTA Collaboration at the DAФNE collider to achieve the most precise measurement of kaonic hydrogen exotic atom transitions at the fundamental level, and to extract the shift and broadening of this level, induced by the presence of the strong interaction between the kaon and the proton, in addition to the electromagnetic level. In our article, we detail an extensive review of several X-ray detector systems, including SDDs, developed and employed for unprecedented precision kaonic atom measurements at DAФNE. View this paper.

  • Conrad Rizal and
  • Kamrun Nahar Shushama

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) materials have shown improved performance in terms of sensitivity, detection accuracy (DA), and quality factor (QF) over conventional biosensors. In this pape...

We consider quantum extensions of classical hydrodynamic lattice gas models. We find that the existence of local conserved quantities strongly constrains such extensions. We find the only extensions that retain local conserved quantities correspond t...

Orbital Symmetry and Orbital Excitations in High-Tc Superconductors

  • Andrzej M. Oleś,
  • Krzysztof Wohlfeld and
  • Giniyat Khaliullin

We discuss a few possibilities of high- T c superconductivity with more than one orbital symmetry contributing to the pairing. First, we show that the high energies of orbital excitations in various cuprates suggest a simplified model with a s...
