Inelastic nuclear interaction probability of 400 GeV/c protons interacting with bent silicon crystals was investigated, in particular for both types of crystals installed at the CERN Large Hadron Collider for beam collimation purposes. In comparison to amorphous scattering interaction, in planar channeling this probability is for the quasi-mosaic type (planes (111)), and for the strip type (planes (110)). Moreover, the absolute inelastic nuclear interaction probability in the axial channeling orientation, along the axis, was estimated for the first time, finding a value of for a crystal 2 mm long along the beam direction, with a bending angle of 55 rad. This value is more than two times lower with respect to the planar channeling orientation of the same crystal, and increases with the vertical angular misalignment. Finally, the correlation between the inelastic nuclear interaction probability in the planar channeling and the silicon crystal curvature is reported.

Candidate Toroidal Electric Dipole Mode in the Spherical Nucleus ^{58}Ni.

Dipole toroidal modes appear in many fields of physics. In nuclei, such a mode was predicted more than 50 years ago, but clear experimental evidence was lacking so far. Using a combination of high-resolution inelastic scattering experiments with photons, electrons, and protons, we identify for the first time candidates for toroidal dipole excitations in the nucleus ^{58}Ni and demonstrate that transverse electron scattering form factors represent a relevant experimental observable to prove their nature.

Radiative corrections are crucial for modern high-precision physics experiments, and are an area of active research in the experimental and theoretical community. Here we provide an overview of the state of the field of radiative corrections with a focus on several topics: lepton-proton scattering, QED corrections in deep-inelastic scattering, and in radiative light-hadron decays. Particular emphasis is placed on the two-photon exchange, believed to be responsible for the proton form-factor discrepancy, and associated Monte-Carlo codes.

Article Synopsis
- Polarized semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS) plays a crucial role in understanding the proton spin puzzle.
- The study presents comprehensive results for polarized SIDIS at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in quantum chromodynamics, covering all relevant interactions.
- A numerical analysis highlights the importance of NNLO corrections and demonstrates reduced scale dependence, particularly for the kinematics relevant to future electron-ion collider experiments.

Understanding electron transport in self-assembled monolayers on metal nanoparticles (NPs) is crucial for developing NP-based nanodevices. This study investigates ultrafast electron transport through aromatic molecules on NP surfaces resonant Auger electron spectroscopy (RAES) with a core-hole-clock (CHC) approach. Aromatic molecule-coated Au NPs are deposited to form condensed NP films, and flat monolayers are prepared for comparison.

We demonstrate an approach successfully measuring very small nuclear isomeric excitation cross sections (on the order of 10 to 100 picobarns) via laser-cluster interaction. The interaction between an intense laser pulse and Kr atomic clusters generates a high-temperature and high-density plasma ball in which nuclear excitations are facilitated by inelastic electron scattering. The electron temperature reaches several hundred keV (corresponding to 10[Formula: see text] K), similar to a stellar environment.
