Disentangling Sources of Momentum Fluctuations in Xe+Xe and Pb+Pb Collisions with the ATLAS Detector.

High-energy nuclear collisions create a quark-gluon plasma, whose initial condition and subsequent expansion vary from event to event, impacting the distribution of the eventwise average transverse momentum [P([p_{T}])]. Disentangling the contributions from fluctuations in the nuclear overlap size (geometrical component) and other sources at a fixed size (intrinsic component) remains a challenge. This problem is addressed by measuring the mean, variance, and skewness of P([p_{T}]) in ^{208}Pb+^{208}Pb and ^{129}Xe+^{129}Xe collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.

Experimental Infections of Pigs with Japanese Encephalitis Virus Genotype 4.

The emergence of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in eastern Australia in 2022 caused extensive reproductive disease in pigs and is a threat to public health. Groups of weaned piglets were experimentally infected with the Australian outbreak strain of JEV (genotype 4). All pigs challenged at 5 weeks of age were infected after an intradermal injection of 1 × 10 ( = 4) or 1 × 10 TCID/pig ( = 5).

Endothelial cell stiffness and type drive the formation of biomechanically-induced transcellular pores.

Formation of transcellular pores facilitates the transport of materials across endothelial barriers. In Schlemm's canal (SC) endothelium, impaired pore formation is associated with glaucoma. However, our understanding of the cellular processes responsible for pore formation is limited by lack of assays.

Search for the Exclusive W Boson Hadronic Decays W^{±}→π^{±}γ, W^{±}→K^{±}γ and W^{±}→ρ^{±}γ with the ATLAS Detector.

A search for the exclusive hadronic decays W^{±}→π^{±}γ, W^{±}→K^{±}γ, and W^{±}→ρ^{±}γ is performed using up to 140  fb^{-1} of proton-proton collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s]=13  TeV. If observed, these rare processes would provide a unique test bench for the quantum chromodynamics factorization formalism used to calculate cross sections at colliders. Additionally, at future colliders, these decays could offer a new way to measure the W boson mass through fully reconstructed decay products.
