Nowadays the field of searching for a new physics became a very interesting subject in a light meson decays due to a recent results from KTeV collaboration which found the 3.3\sigma\ disagreement between Standard Model theory and their…
A new search for production of correlated e+e- pairs in the alpha decay of 241Am has been carried out deep underground at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory of the I.N.F.N. by using pairs of NaI(Tl) detectors of the DAMA/LIBRA set-up. The…
Based on the collected data on $J/\psi\to \gamma K_S^0K_S^0\eta'$, the BESIII experiment has conducted an analysis of the mass and spin parity of the $X(2370)$ particle. The findings are consistent with the characteristics expected of the…
