The energy emitted by active galactic nuclei (AGN) may provide a self-regulating process (AGN feedback) that shapes the evolution of galaxies. This is believed to operate along two modes: on galactic scales by clearing the interstellar…

He-Ne lasers have been one of the most widely employed optoelectronic elements, playing irreplaceable roles in various applications, including optical detections, spectroscopy, interferometry, laser processing, and so on. For broad…

A search is made for massive long-lived highly ionising particles with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, using 3.1 pb-1 of pp collision data taken at sqrt(s)=7 TeV. The signature of energy loss in the ATLAS inner detector…
