Project funded by Croatian Science Foundation (HRZZ) (Research Projects), grant IP-2022-10-3878. Participating organisations named by the source: Prirodoslovno-matematički fakultet, Zagreb. Funded amount: EUR 145,119, as stated by the source. Runs 2023-12-18 to 2027-12-17. Keywords: positron physics, quantum physics, hadron physics, neutron interactions, medical imaging, digitizers. Source: OpenAIRE Graph, from the funder's project data (collected by OpenAIRE on 2026-07-23); national funding data, not CORDIS; selected because its keywords name quantum. Abstract given by the source: The project comprises several very significant topics in subatomic physics and applications in medical imaging: 1) investigations of tentative and until now not observed CP and CPT symmetry breaking in leptonic sector by first measurement of specific asymmetry of gamma rays in ortho-positronium (o-PS) annihilation which will be performed at Department of Physics in Zagreb, 2) investigations of quantum correlations (entanglement) in three-party system of photons in MeV region by first measurement of distributions of polarizations of three entangled gamma rays from o-PS annihilation which will be performed at Department of Physics, 3) investigations of X-ray transitions in gaseous kaonic atoms at DAPHNE collider at Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati of interest for low energy QCD as well as X-ray transitions in kaonic atoms of heavier targets to precisely determine the charged kaon mass, 4) investigations of neutron induced reactions on nuclei at n_TOF facility at CERN of natC(n,p) and natC(n,d) type which are of medical and technological interest as well as (n,gamma) reactions which are of astrophysical significance and 5) study of utilization of polarization correlations of gamma-rays in time-of-flight PET to achieve more sensitive and cost-effective PET which will be performed at Department of Physics. A common feature of all proposed topics is application of novel, high-performance and compact digital electronics (digitizers), which either store complete signals from the detectors for the off-line analysis or/and have versatile signal processing capabilities. They have experienced very dynamic development in the last decade and nowadays provide opportunities for complex measurements which would be very difficult, if not impossible, with conventional analogue electronics. Accompanied with advanced data analysis techniques they enable execution of sophisticated, high-precision and state-of-the-art experiments in subatomic physics at small university departments.
