schedule for first data in early 2023. Built around the excellent
BaBar superconducting solenoid, the central detector consists of a
silicon pixel vertexer adapted from the ALICE ITS design, a silicon
strip detector with single event timing resolution, a compact TPC,
novel EM calorimetry, and two layers of hadronic... -

The proposed high-luminosity high-energy Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will explore the proton/nuclear structure, search for gluon saturation and precisely determine the nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs) in a wide x-$Q^{2}$ phase space. Heavy flavor and jet measurements at the future EIC will allow us to better constrain the nPDFs within the poorly constrained high Bjorken-x region,...

The STAR Collaboration has performed several detector upgrades in the last few years, including the replacement of the inner chambers of the Time Projection Chamber (iTPC, with pseudorapidity $0 < |\eta| < 1.5$), the Event Plane Detector (EPD, $2.1 < |\eta| < 5.1$) and the Endcap Time of Flight (eTOF, $-1.5 < \eta < -1.0$) that are commissioned and fully operational since 2019. A full suite of...

In this talk, the prospects and the physics goals of a new fixed-target experiment, NA60+, which has been proposed for taking data with heavy-ion collisions at the CERN SPS in the next years, will be presented. The competitiveness and complementarity of the NA60+ physics program in the landscape of the experiments foreseen at other facilities in the next decade will also be discussed.
The...

Within the dipole picture for electron-nucleus ($eA$) deep inelastic scattering (DIS) at small Bjorken $x$, we consider special, ``aligned jet", configurations, which are very asymmetric: one of the quarks from the dipole fluctuation of the virtual photon carries most of the longitudinal momentum of its parent. We argue that such configurations correspond to relatively large dipole sizes and...

We will present the design and physics performance of a high-granularity Forward Calorimeter (FoCal) upgrade for ALICE. The main goal of the FoCal detector is to measure isolated direct photon production to constrain the low-x gluon density in the proton and nuclei and to look for deviations from linear QCD evolution in the high gluon-density regime. In addition, correlation measurements using...
