We describe development of hard x-ray focusing optics telescopes at the National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSTC).
Hadron spectroscopy, the driving force of high-energy physics in its early decades, has experienced a renaissance in interest over the past 20 years due to the discovery of scores of new, potentially "exotic states" (tetraquarks,…
This review focuses on the expected performance of the ATLAS and CMS detectors at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), together with some of the highlights of the global commissioning work done in 2008 with basically fully operational…
The High-Intensity Heavy-Ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF), currently under construction in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, China, is projected to be completed by 2025. This facility will be capable of producing proton and heavy-ion beams with…
We present here a new robotic telescope called TRAPPIST (TRAnsiting Planets and PlanetesImals Small Telescope). Equipped with a high-quality CCD camera mounted on a 0.6 meter light weight optical tube, TRAPPIST has been installed in April…
Low-background experiments with stable ion beams are an important tool for putting the model of stellar hydrogen, helium, and carbon burning on a solid experimental foundation. The pioneering work in this regard has been done by the LUNA…
The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB energy-asymmetric $e^+e^-$ collider is a substantial upgrade of the B factory facility at KEK in Tsukuba, Japan. It aims to record a factor of 50 times more data than its predecessor. The experiment…
The LHC accelerator complex will be upgraded between 2020-2022, to the High-Luminosity-LHC, to considerably increase statistics for the various physics analyses. To operate under these challenging new conditions, and maintain excellent…
This thesis summarises four years of research aiming at revealing the prospects for detection of long-lived particles at the LHC. It contains results of four projects, which have been published as independent articles. Each of the projects…
The JLC is a linear collider project pursued in Japan by researchers centered around KEK. The R&D status for the JLC project is presented, with emphasis on recent results from ATF concerning studies of production of ultra-low emittance…
[ABRIDGED] The new generation of wide field optical imaging like the Canada France Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey (CFHTLS) enables discoveries of all types of gravitational lenses present in the sky. The Strong Lensing Legacy Survey (SL2S)…
New facilities for particle and nuclear physics research, which will be available due to constructing the TESLA linear electron-positron collider tangentially to the HERA proton ring, are discussed.
To cope with the higher occupancy and radiation damage at the HL-LHC also the LHC experiments will be upgraded. The ATLAS Planar Pixel Sensor R&D Project (PPS) is an international collaboration of 17 institutions and more than 80…

The planned NASA Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) flagship mission aims to image and spectroscopically characterise 25 Earth-size planets in the habitable zones of their stars. However, one giant planet in the habitable zone can ruin your…
We describe the planned near-term and potential longer-term upgrades of the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB electron-positron collider in Tsukuba, Japan. These upgrades will allow increasingly sensitive searches for possible new physics…
The radio tracking apparatus of the New Horizons spacecraft, currently traveling to the Pluto system where its arrival is scheduled for July 2015, should be able to reach an accuracy of 10 m (range) and 0.1 mm s^-1 (range-rate) over…
High-performance fusion plasmas, requiring high pressure $\beta$, are not well-understood in stellarator-type experiments. Here, the effect of $\beta$ on ion-temperature-gradient-driven (ITG) turbulence is studied in Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X),…
In the past few years the field of hadron spectroscopy has seen renewed interest due to the pubblication, initially mostly from B-Factories, of evidences of states that do not match regular spectroscopy, but are rather candidates for bound…
This is a talk given at Ringberg Workshop:"New Trends in HERA Physics", 30 May - 4 June, 1999.In this talk we discuss how deeply the region of high parton densities has been studied experimentally at HERA. We show that the measurements of…
