Proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration allows the transfer of energy from a proton bunch to a trailing bunch of particles, the `witness' particles, via plasma electrons. The AWAKE experiment at CERN is pursuing a demonstration of this…
Muons are a fascinating probe to study nuclear properties. Muonic atoms can easily be formed by stopping negative muons inside a material. The muon is subsequently captured by the nucleus and, due to its much higher mass compared to the…
The consecutive microscopic solution is presented of the problem of tunneling of a particle through a potential barrier. The method is applied to the alpha and proton decay of compound systems formed in fusion reaction. Appearance of the…
To suppress the muon background arising from the Beam Delivery System (BDS) of the International Linear Collider (ILC), and to hinder it from reaching the interaction region, two different shielding scenarios are under discussion: five…
This short paper is an addendum to a recent publication on charged current neutrino-induced pion production (Phys.\ Rev.\ C96 (2017) no.1, 015503). It presents comparisons of pion production cross sections measured at the T2K near detector…
In the paper [1] the process of free muon capture with simultaneous excitation of a nuclear isomer has been suggested, claiming that ``the effect can be detectable for selected isotopes". Here, we argue that this claim can not be confirmed.…
Muography (or muon radiography) is an imaging technique that relies on the use of cosmogenic muons as a free and safe radiation source. It can be applied in various fields such as archaeology, civil engineering, geology, nuclear reactor…
