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.

Mechanistic Investigation of the Pseudo-Halogen Effect in Enantioselective Aminocatalyzed [6 + 4] and [10 + 6] Cycloadditions: Enabling Unique Favorskii-Like Rearrangements.

A mechanistic investigation into the novel combination of the -halogen effect with enantioselective aminocatalysis unravels the mechanistic intricacies of [6 + 4] and [10 + 6] higher-order cycloadditions and the succeeding new Favorskii-like rearrangements. By introducing the OTf-group into the tropone framework, it can serve both as an activator for the cycloaddition and as a proficient leaving group within the corresponding cycloadduct, thus enabling unprecedented ring-contracting Favorskii-like rearrangements. Integrating the -OTf group creates an electron-deficient 6π-component leveraging the -halogen effect by enhancing the polarization and introducing new strategic interaction points.

Advances in the ecological validity of research on social cognition in schizophrenia: A systematic review of the literature.

Introduction: Ecologically valid assessments need to require tasks representative of real, everyday interactions between people in a social environment (i.e., verisimilitude) and to predict aspects of real-life performance in those same interactions (i.

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.
