Nuclei having 4n number of nucleons are theorized to possess clusters of α particles (4He nucleus). The Oxygen nucleus ($^{16}$O) is a doubly magic nucleus, where the presence of an α-clustered nuclear structure grants additional nuclear stability. In this study, we exploit the anisotropic flow coefficients to discern the effects of an α-clustered nuclear geometry w.r.t. a Woods-Saxon nuclear...
The CMS trigger system is undergoing significant upgrades to prepare for the challenging conditions of the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), where extreme pileup and higher event rates will push the system to its limits. At Level-1 (L1), new hardware and advanced algorithms, including machine learning, are being deployed to process data at rates up to 750 kHz, approximately 7.5 times the current...
CMS selects interesting events using a two-tiered trigger system. The first level (L1), composed of custom hardware processors, uses information from the calorimeters and muon detectors to select events at a rate of around 110 kHz within a fixed latency of about 4\mus. The second level, the high-level trigger (HLT), consists of a farm of processors running a version of the full event...
HUN-REN Wigner RCP’s Regard gaseous tracking detector development team has been constructing particle detectors for almost two decades. Part of the development is a contribution to fundamental research, but there is also a growing emphasis on applied research, particularly in the field of muography. Since the pioneering measurements of the first field-use muon detector almost 15 years ago,...
Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) are specific ground-based optical telescopes with large reflective surfaces that enable the observation of high-energy cosmic gamma rays through the observation of Cherenkov light emitted by particles of Extensive Air Showers (EAS) generated by primary gamma photons in the atmosphere.
The Single-Mirror Small Size Telescope (SST-1M) is a...
The Pierre Auger Observatory is conceived to study ultra-high-energy
cosmic rays from about 10^17 eV to beyond 10^20 eV. It is a
multi-hybrid Observatory comprising 1660 surface detector stations
spread over an area of 3000 km^2 overlooked by 27 fluorescence
telescopes located at four sites at its periphery.
Phase I of data-taking spanned from its beginning in 2004 to the end
of 2022,...
A transition of nuclear matter to a state of deconfined quarks and gluons
(the Quark Gluon Plasma) occurs at sufficiently high-energy densities and temperatures. This is achieved in the laboratory by reaching these conditions with collisions of heavy nuclei in which an enhancement in the production of strange hadrons with respect to the small collision systems is observed.
Since the...
A firmware for the Central Trigger Processor (CTP) at ALICE experiment for LHC Run 3 is written in VHDL language. The most of the VHDL code was verified in a simulations using a simple procedures written also in VHDL or by writing data into file and then by checking of a data consistency in a software. In addition to the simulations also a real hardware tests were performed by a test scripts....
The PHENIX experiment at RHIC already published results on $\pi^0$ and $\eta$ production in $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$\,GeV Au+Au collisions based on data taken 2004, 2007 and 2010. In the 2014 and 2016 data taking periods large amount of new data were collected, about ten times the previous statistics. This allows both to extend the $p_T$-range of the measurements and improve on systematic...
