In order to study the hot hadronic matter created in heavy ion collisions it is important to compare particle production in such collisions with particle production in other, smaller systems, such as proton-proton (pp) and proton-lead (p--Pb) collisions. In particular, hyperon resonances with different lifetimes are good candidates to probe the interplay of particle re-scattering and...
The high collision energies reached at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) lead to significant production of light (anti-)(hyper-)nuclei in proton-proton (pp), proton-lead (p-Pb) and lead-lead (Pb-Pb) collisions.
The excellent particle identification (PID) capabilities of the ALICE detector are exploited to identify rarely produced particles such as deuterons, $\rm ^{3}{H}$, $\rm ^{3}{He}$,...
We report on the measurement of identified particle production at mid-rapidity in pp collisions at the highest centre-of-mass energy, $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV, ever reached in the laboratory. The measurements extend from pions to multi-strange hyperons and cover the range in $p_{\rm{T}}$ from 100
MeV/c to 20 GeV/c, depending on the species. The data are compared to models commonly employed at the...
Heavier resonances are continually being added to the hadronic spectrum from the Particle Data
Group [1]. The existence of additional states is predicted by relativistic quark models [2, 3]. It has
been suggested [4, 5] that further states might need to be included in the hadronic spectrum in order
to improve the agreement between the hadron resonance gas model predictions and lattice...
The observed suppression of particle production at high transverse momentum in nucleus-nucleus collisions at high energies is an effect of the energy loss of partons as they propagate through the hot and dense QCD medium. The measurement of transverse momentum spectra of primary charged particles in Pb-Pb collisions and the comparison to the measurement in pp collisions are important to...
sPHENIX is a new collaboration and future detector project at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). It seeks to answer fundamental questions on the nature of the quark gluon plasma (QGP), including its temperature dependence and coupling strength, by using a suite of precision jet and upsilon measurements that the probe different length scales of the QGP. ...
