Strongly interacting dark sectors in the early Universe and at the LHC through a simplified portal by Elias Bernreuther, Felix Kahlhoefer, Michael Krämer, Patrick Tunney

“…Existing searches for di-jet resonances and for missing energy mostly probe the parameter regions where prompt decays are expected and constrain our model despite not being optimised for dark showers. We also estimate the sensitivity of dedicated analyses for semi-visible jets and emphasize the complementarity of different search strategies.…”

Nanoclustering in Silicon Induced by Oxygen Ions Implanted by D. Manno, A. Serra, E. Filippo, M. Rossi, G. Quarta, L. Maruccio, L. Calcagnile

“…Raman spectroscopy data allowed us to estimate an average cluster size of about 50 nm. Resistivity and Hall effect measurements evidenced that the electron transport in the implanted silicon samples is affected by the nanoclusters array and it could be explained by thermally activated hopping between localized states.…”
