Nuclear Excitation by Free Muon Capture

Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Simone Gargiulo

Efficient excitation of nuclei via exchange of a real or virtual photon has a fundamental importance for nuclear science and technology development. Here, we present a mechanism of nuclear excitation based on the capture of a free muon into the atomic orbi ...

A Novel Method for Detecting Unidentified Falling Object Loss Patterns in the LHC

Frédéric Blanc, Tatiana Pieloni, Davide Di Croce, Jorg Wenninger, Loïc Thomas Davies Coyle

Understanding and mitigating particle losses in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is essential for both machine safety and efficient operation. Abnormal loss distributions are tell- tale signs of abnormal beam behaviour or incorrect machine configuration. By ...
