Improving the knowledge on how the strong interaction acts among hadrons is one of the frontiers in nuclear physics. A large amount of interactions among stable or unstable hadrons have not been measured yet and theoretical calculations with effective lagrangians and/or starting from first principles, with quarks and gluons as degrees of freedom, are still under development and in need of...
We have entered the era of multi-messenger nuclear astrophysics; bringing together a host of astrophysical observations and nuclear experimental data to measure the properties of neutron star matter and the nuclear force in neutron-rich systems. In order to combine disparate data sets with meaningful uncertainty quantification, over the past decade statistical inference techniques employing...
The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) is a balloon-borne experiment,
firstly optimized to identify low-energy (≲ 0.25 GeV/n) cosmic antinuclei from dark
matter annihilation or decay. With a novel detection approach that uses the uniquely
characterized atomic X-rays and charged particles from the decay of exotic atoms,
the GAPS program will deliver an unprecedented sensitivity to...
