The ALICE experiment is preparing the ITS3, an upgrade of its Inner Tracking System for LHC Run 4. The three innermost layers will be replaced by wafer-scale, truly cylindrical, ultra-thin detector layers, made of Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors. This innovative technology will permit to lower the material budget even further and to improve the tracking and vertexing capabilities. We will...
Over the last few years, several discrepancies with respect to SM predictions have arisen in studies of exclusive $b\to s \ell^{+}\ell^{-}$ decays, where a b-hadron decays into a specific final state. The interpretation for a significant fraction of these discrepancies is clouded by hadronic uncertainties. Inclusive $b\to s \ell^{+}\ell^{-}$ decays are regarded to be under better theoretical...
A Future Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) would allow to collide an intense electron beam with a proton or ion beam from the High Luminosity–Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). Preliminary studies suggest that not only a rich physics program in the context of deep-inelastic scattering is possible, but also that several high precision Higgs coupling measurements could be performed. In...
Observation of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) by various satellites confirms the Big Bang evolution, inflation and provides important information regarding the early Universe and its evolution with excellent accuracy [1]. In little bangs, the produced fire-ball goes through a rapid evolution from partonic QGP phase to a hadronic phase, and finally freezes out. The physics of...
A novel approach to the experimental and theoretical study of the properties of QCD matter under the new extreme conditions is discussed. Our simulations demonstrate a possibility to reach the initial temperature over 300 MeV and baryonic charge density exceeding the ordinary nuclear density by a factor of three. Such conditions could be realized in the high luminosity (HL) experiments at LHC...
