We report the observation of an exotic radiation (unconventional Smith-Purcell radiation) from a one-dimensional photonic crystal. The physical origin of the exotic radiation is direct excitation of the photonic bands by an…

The existence of etamesic nuclei has been speculated for a long time without firm experimental evidence. Much of the effort has taken place in final state interactions on production. One crucial factor in seeing a quasibound state is its…
The search for the origin of cosmic rays is as active as ever, mainly driven by new insights provided by recent pieces of observation. Much effort is being channelled in putting the so called supernova paradigm for the origin of galactic…
