Dear colleagues,

I kindly remind you about today's seminar by Catalina Curceanu from  INFN
- Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (Italy). The title of her talk is:

A new era in the kaonic atoms experimental studies

Location: Department of Physics, F-201
Time: 13:00 on Tuesday, May 29th, 2018


----SEMINAR ABSTRACT--------------------------------------------------

I shall review the results obtained in recent years in the experimental
studies of exotic atoms, in particular in kaonic atoms, and present the
future perspectives.
I shall mostly focus on the studies of kaonic atoms performed at the DAFNE
collider of LNF-INFN and at KEK in Japan, which have produced a valuable
wealth of data which are used by theoreticians to better understand the
QCD in non-perturbative sector, with implications going from particle and
nuclear physics to astrophysics. I shall also discuss the development of
new X-ray detectors, such as Silicon Drift Detectors and Charge Coupled
Devices which allowed toperform precision measurements of kaonic hydrogen
and kaonic helium.
I shall present future perspectives, including ongoing programs, as
SIDDHARTA-2 at DAFNE and E57 and E62 at J-PARC, as well as plans to
measure sigmonic atoms transitions and to perform dedicated measurements
of selected kaonic atoms to solve the "charged kaon mass inconsistency".
Kaonic atoms studies represents a unique opportunity to unlock the secrets
of the QCD in the low-energy regime and to disentangle the role of
strangeness in astrophysics and cosmology.

Srdačno,
Mihael Makek
