Měření anomálií v úhlové korelaci elektronu a pozitronu z vnitřní párové produkce v excitovaných jádrech 8Be a 4HeMeasurement of anomalies in angular correlation of electron and positron internally produced in excited 8Be and 4He

AbstraktAbstract

The workshop "Shedding light on X17" brings together scientists looking for the existence of a possible new light particle, often referred to as X17. This hypothetical particle can explain the resonant structure observed at similar to 17 MeV in the invariant mass of electron-positron pairs, produced after excitation of nuclei such as 8Be and 4He by means of proton beams at the Atomki Laboratory in Debrecen. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss implications of this anomaly, in particular theoretical interpretations as well as present and future experiments aiming at confirming the result and/or at providing experimental evidence for its interpretation.
