Antihydrogen is the simplest pure anti-atomic system and an excellent candidate to test the symmetry between matter and antimatter. In particular, a precise comparison of the spectrum of anytihydrogen with that of hydrogen would be an excellent test of Charge-Parity-Time symmetry. The ALPHA antihydrogen experiment is able to produce and confine antihydrogen atoms in an Ioffe-Pritchard type...

For the past two decades, two powerful heavy ion accelerators, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), have ushered in a new era of high energy nuclear physics. When the temperature reaches above 200 MeV/kB, quarks and gluons are no longer confined inside hadrons. Instead, they form a plasma state. This new state of nuclear matter, Quark-Gluon Plasma...

Signatures associated with collective behaviour has been observed in the hadronic measurements of high multiplicity proton+lead collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), as well as in (proton, deuteron, helium-3)+gold collisions at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC). To better understand the evolution dynamics and the strongly-coupled properties of the matter created in these...

In Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the elastic form factor of the charged pion is unique in that it can be rigorously calculated perturbatively in the limit of
asymptotically large momentum transfer. However, the lack of a "free pion"
target makes experimental studies of this quantity challenging, and one must
make measurements using the virtual pion cloud of the nucleon via...

Heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energies generate emission sources with a large distribution of excitation energies that can reach up to 10 MeV per nucleon. Evaporation models based on Weisskopf and Hauser-Feshback theories are used to de-excite these sources. Parameters used in evaporation models come from low energy experiments and must be extrapolated to de-excite high excitation...
