The IRIS group at IFIC-Valencia has developed a second version of Compton camera prototype for hadron therapy treatment monitoring, with the aim improving performance respect to its predecessor. system is composed three Lanthanum (III) bromide (LaBr3) crystals coupled silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). detector energy resolution been improved 5.6% FWHM 511 keV and an angular 8.0° obtained. Image...

In the present work, $k_T$-factorization formalism is applied to compute exclusive dilepton production by timelike Compton scattering (TCS) in $eA$, $pA$ and $AA$ collisions. The nuclear effects are investigated considering heavy light ions. cross section terms of invariant mass rapidity distribution lepton pair shown. analysis done for electron-ion collisions at Large Hadron-Electron Collider ...

The impact of the form of the hadron potential at large distances on the behaviour of the hadron spin-flip amplitude at small angles is examined. The t-dependence of the spin-flip amplitude of high energy hadron elastic scattering is analyzed under different assumptions on the hadron interaction. It is shown that the long tail of the non-Gaussian form of the hadron potential of the hadron inter...

On-line verification of the delivered dose during proton and carbon ion radiotherapy is currently a very desirable goal for quality assurance of hadron therapy treatment plans. In-beam positron emission tomography (ibPET), which can provide an image of the β+ activity induced in the patient during irradiation, which in turn is correlated to the range of the ion beam, is one of the modalities fo...

We review recent progress in the description and understanding of disoriented chiral condensates. Certain important unsolved issues are underlined, and the preliminary results of our program of investigation of these issues in the framework of the classical linear sigma model are reported. We also briefly review a formalism which could be useful at the full non-equilibrium quantum field theory ...

In this talk, I focus on the quark-gluon structure of hadrons probed using high-energy hadron beams. I start with a brief review on recent major achievements in measuring parton distributions of the nucleon, pion, and kaon, with hadron facilities at CERN and FNAL. Then I discuss a number of outstanding questions and interesting physics issues in the field, and point out their intellectual impac...
