The production of the ψ(2S) charmonium state was measured with ALICE in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02  TeV, in the dimuon decay channel. A significant signal was observed for the first time at LHC energies down to zero transverse momentum, at forward rapidity (2.

Article Synopsis
  • Understanding how parton mass and Casimir color factors affect heavy quark emissions is key to studying quantum chromodynamics (QCD).
  • This research presents the first experimental constraint on the charm-quark splitting function, obtained through measurements in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV.
  • Findings indicate that charm quarks show a steeper splitting function compared to gluons and light quarks, experiencing fewer emissions with a lower likelihood of large-angle emissions.

The most precise measurements to date of the _{Λ}^{3}H lifetime τ and Λ separation energy B_{Λ} are obtained using the data sample of Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02  TeV collected by ALICE at the LHC. The _{Λ}^{3}H is reconstructed via its charged two-body mesonic decay channel (_{Λ}^{3}H→^{3}He+π^{-} and the charge-conjugate process).

Article Synopsis
  • * A notable negative correlation between the production of antiprotons and antideuterons was found across various collision centralities.
  • * Comparisons with theoretical models show that while a coalescence calculation explains certain statistical features, it struggles with the specifics of antiproton-antideuteron correlations, whereas thermal-statistical models can align with observations but imply different correlation volumes.

The transverse-momentum (p_{T}) spectra and coalescence parameters B_{2} of (anti)deuterons are measured in p-p collisions at sqrt[s]=13  TeV for the first time in and out of jets. In this measurement, the direction of the leading particle with the highest p_{T} in the event (p_{T}^{lead}>5  GeV/c) is used as an approximation for the jet axis. The event is consequently divided into three azimuthal regions, and the jet signal is obtained as the difference between the toward region, that contains jet fragmentation products in addition to the underlying event (UE), and the transverse region, which is dominated by the UE.
