Open AccessPerformances of a new generation tracking detector: the MEG II cylindrical drift chamber
The cylindrical drift chamber is the most innovative part of the MEG II detector, the upgraded version of the MEG experiment. The MEG II chamber differs from the MEG one because it is a single volume cylindric...

Open AccessUnveiling SU(3) flux tubes at nonzero temperature: electric fields and magnetic currents
We report on the results of measuring the chromoelectric fields in a flux tube created by a static quark-antiquark pair in finite-temperature SU(3) gauge theory. Below the deconfinement temperature the field b...

Open AccessUnveiling confinement in pure gauge SU(3): flux tubes, fields, and magnetic currents
A characteristic signature of quark confinement is the concentration of the chromoelectric field between a static quark–antiquark pair in a flux tube. However, the structure of this flux tube, and hence of the...
