Exotic atoms: fundamental aspects, applications and advances in radiation detectors
- Damir Bosnar (Faculty of Science)
Strange exotic atoms, in which a kaon (or a Sigma minus) replaces an
electron in orbit, offer a precision window into low-energy QCD,
high-precision QED and possible new physics studies.
Recent advances at DAΦNE (SIDDHARTA-2) and J-PARC are enabling
high-accuracy X-ray spectroscopy of kaonic atoms, such as hydrogen,
deuterium, and of many other light-to-heavy exotic atoms.

In the last two decades, great efforts have been made in the development of new-generation X-ray and gamma ray detection systems based on room temperature semiconductor detectors (RTSDs), allowing direct radiation detection and superb room temperature performance. Among RTSDs, cadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe or CZT) represents the leading detector material: the combination of high atomic number...
Kaonic atoms provide a unique window into studying the strong interaction at threshold, offering key constraints on low-energy QCD in the strangeness sector. In this talk, I will present the latest results from the SIDDHARTA-2 experiment at the DAΦNE collider, which employs high-performance spectroscopic Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs) to carry out precision X-ray spectroscopy of kaonic atoms....
Kaonic atom spectroscopy provides key observables for investigating low-energy strong interactions in strange systems. In this presentation, I present an overview of the SIDDHARTA-2 collaboration’s activities in the field of kaonic atoms, with a particular focus on the development of a new Cadmium-Zinc-Telluride (CZT) detector system for the study of intermediate-mass kaonic atoms.
