There are strong theoretical arguments in favour of the existence of very light scalar or pseudoscalar particles beyond the Standard Model which have, so far, remained undetected, due to their very weak coupling to ordinary matter. We point…
The compressed baryonic matter (CBM) experiment at the future FAIR accelerator facility near Darmstadt, Germany, aims at the investigation of baryonic matter at highest net baryon densities but moderate temperatures, by colliding heavy-ions…
