Potential of the J-PET detector for studies of discrete symmetries in decays of positronium atom: a purely leptonic system

P Moskal, D Alfs, T Bednarski, P Białas… - … Physica Polonica. B, 2016 - ruj.uj.edu.pl
If Nature was utterly symmetric, the matter would not exist. Thus, we owe our existence to the
asymmetry between matter and anti-matter which must have appeared at the early stage of …

Developing a novel positronium biomarker for cardiac myxoma imaging

P Moskal, E Kubicz, G Grudzień, E Czerwiński, K Dulski… - EJNMMI physics, 2023 - Springer
Purpose Cardiac myxoma (CM), the most common cardiac tumor in adults, accounts for 50–
