This article reviews the present status of high energy gamma-ray astronomy at energies above 30 MeV. Observations in the past decade using both space- and ground-based experiments have been primarily responsible for giving a tremendous…
Great advances have been made in the study of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) in the past two decades. These include the discovery of the spectral cut-off near 5 x 10^19 eV and complex structure at lower energies, as well as…
We have measured the polarizations of $\jpsi$ and $\psiprime$ mesons as functions of their transverse momentum $\pt$ when they are produced promptly in the rapidity range $|y|<0.6$ with $\pt \geq 5 \pgev$. The analysis is performed using a…
Persistent homology is currently one of the more widely known tools from computational topology and topological data analysis. We present in this note a brief survey on the evolution of the subject. The goal is to highlight the main ideas,…
It is an ill-posed problem to recover the true scene colors from a color biased image by discounting the effects of scene illuminant and camera spectral sensitivity (CSS) at the same time. Most color constancy (CC) models have been designed…
Besides Standard Model measurements and other Beyond Standard Model studies, the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC will search for Supersymmetry, one of the most attractive explanation for dark matter. The SUSY discovery potential with…
A search is reported for structures near the $J/\psi$ $J/\psi$ mass threshold using a dataset of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} \: =13 \: \mathrm{TeV} $ recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated…
Interferometers are widely used in imaging technologies to achieve enhanced spatial resolution, but require that the incoming photons be indistinguishable. In previous work, we built and analyzed color erasure detectors which expand the…
I describe the surrounding landscape on the road to the CERN Large Hadron Collider. I revisit the milestones of hadron-collider physics, and from them draw lessons for the future. I recall the primary motivation for the journey -…
Three recent results from the ATLAS experiment at the LHC are presented. A new excited heavy meson state is observed through its hadronic transition to the ground state. The production cross-section of B+ mesons is measured as a function of…
Observations of the high-redshift Universe with the 21 cm hyperfine line of neutral hydrogen promise to open an entirely new window onto the early phases of cosmic structure formation. Here we review the physics of the 21 cm transition,…
Transition radiation is a fundamental process of light emission and occurs whenever a charged particle moves across an inhomogeneous region. One feature of transition radiation is that it can create light emission at arbitrary frequency…
The opportunity to observe color transparency (CT) is determined by how rapidly a small-sized hadronic wave packet expands. Here we use SU(2) lattice gauge theory with Wilson fermions in the quenched approximation to investigate the…
We calculate the cross section of J/psi inclusive production in lepton-nucleon deep-inelastic scattering via the weak charged current within the factorization formalism of nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics. The hadronic system produced…
Recent results on charmonia decays at BESII/BEPC are reported, including the observation of psi'-->K_S K_L, psi'--> Vector + Tensor and psi'--> Vector + Pseudoscalar for the measurement of the relative phase between the strong and…
A first result related to a CPT test in the decay of ortho-positronium based on data collected by means of the J-PET detector is already available, and a new test of CP symmetry is under investigation. Both results are based on the…
The on-off phenomena of opponent colors in center-surround may be the best-known facts of retinal processing of information. Apparently, however, no explicit model has been proposed that shows how neurons can be connected to produce the…
I discuss the most recently discovered open charm mesons, both with and without strangeness. By exploiting the heavy quark limit, strong decay widths of such mesons are computed. Comparison between theoretical predictions and experimental…
A huge amount of good quality data converges towards the picture of a spatially flat universe undergoing the today observed phase of accelerated expansion. This new observational trend is commonly addressed as Precision Cosmology. Despite…
The pipelines of digital cameras contain a part for computational color constancy, which aims to remove the influence of the illumination on the scene colors. One of the best known and most widely used benchmark datasets for this problem is…
