The $^{14}$O($\alpha$,$p$)$^{17}$F reaction is one of the key reactions involved in the breakout from the hot-CNO cycle to the rp-process in type I x-ray bursts (XRBs). The resonant properties in the compound nucleus $^{18}$Ne have been…
The $B$(E1;$1/2^+\to1/2^-$) strength for $^{11}$Be has been extracted from intermediate energy Coulomb excitation measurements, over a range of beam energies using a new reaction model, the extended continuum discretized coupled channels…
Using 13.5 fb^{-1} of e^+e^- annihilation data collected with the CLEO-II detector, we have observed a new narrow resonance in the D_s^*\pi^0 final state, with a mass near 2.46 GeV/c^2. The search for such a state was motivated by the…
Dielectron production in the $\pi N$ interaction at not large energies is studied. The dominant contribution of the $\Delta$-isobar creation in the intermediate state at incident pion momenta of about 0.3-0.4 GeV$/$c is shown. The…
We study the exclusive photoproduction of a photon-meson pair with a large invariant mass, working in the QCD factorisation framework. Explicitly, we consider a $ \rho $-meson or a charged $ \pi $ in the final state. This process gives…
We study the morphology of the 511 keV signal that could be produced by exciting dark matter (XDM) in the Milky Way. In this model, collisions between dark matter particles excite the dark matter to a state that can then decay back to the…
A double-$\Lambda$ hypernucleus, ${}_{\Lambda\Lambda}\mathrm{Be}$, was observed by the J-PARC E07 collaboration in nuclear emulsions tagged by the $(K^{-},K^{+})$ reaction. This event was interpreted as a production and decay of $…
The $X$(3872) formation and decay processes in the $B$-decay are investigated by a $c\bar c$-two-meson hybrid model. The two-meson state consists of the $D^0{\bar D}^*{}^0$, $D^+D^{*-}$, $J/\psi\rho$, and $J/\psi\omega$ channels. The…
New theoretical results from large-scale relativistic close coupling calculations reveal the precise effect of resonances in collisional excitation of x-ray lines of Ne-like Fe XVII. Employing the Breit-Pauli R-matrix method and a 89-level…
Angular particle correlations are a powerful tool to study collective effects and in-medium jet modification as well as their interplay in the hot and dense medium produced in central heavy-ion collisions. We present measurements of…
This poster presents recent experimental findings from the BESIII experiment, including two categories of studies. Firstly, it reports the studies on the hyperon pair production in the processes $e^+e^- \to \Lambda\bar\Lambda$,…
Unified recombination cross sections and rates are computed for (e + Fe XVIII) --> Fe XVII including non-resonant and resonant (radiative and di-electronic recombination, RR and DR) processes in an ab initio manner with relativistic fine…
We observe the radiative decay $D^{*}_{s0}(2317)^{+} \to D_{s}^{*+} \gamma$ for the first time, with a significance exceeding $10$ standard deviations. The signal is found in the continuum $e^+ e^- \to c\bar{c}$ process with the combined…
We analyze theoretically the $D^+\to \nu e^+ \rho \bar K$ and $D^+\to \nu e^+ \bar K^* \pi$ decays to see the feasibility to check the double pole nature of the axial-vector resonance $K_1(1270)$ predicted by the unitary extensions of…
We will present a review of the most interesting results on rare B decays from the B Factories, based on the data collected by the BaBar and Belle detectors at asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ colliders at the center of mass energy of the…
We present the first data on $e^+e^-$ pair production accompanied by nuclear breakup in ultra-peripheral gold-gold collisions at a center of mass energy of 200 GeV per nucleon pair. The nuclear breakup requirement selects events at small…
We search for dimuon decays of a low mass particle in the decays B0->K*0 X and B0->rho X using a data sample of 657x10^6 B Bbar events collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+ e^- collider. We find no evidence for…
We show that the compact star XTE J1814-338 can be explained as a strange star admixed with self-interacting bosonic dark matter (BDM), provided the dark matter fraction exceeds approximately 70\%. This interpretation leads to a robust…
Recently a 6.8$\sigma$ anomaly has been reported in the opening angle and invariant mass distributions of $e^+ e^-$ pairs produced in $^8\text{Be}$ nuclear transitions. The data are explained by a 17 MeV vector gauge boson $X$ that is…
Exotic $^8$Be and $^{12}$C decays from high-lying resonances in $^{24}$Mg are analyzed in terms of a cluster model. The calculated quantities agree well with the corresponding experimental data. It is found that the calculated decay widths…
