In the spring of 2017 an ER-2 aircraft campaign was undertaken over continental United States to observe energetic radiation from thunderstorms and lightning. The payload consisted of a suite of instruments designed to detect optical signals, electric fields, and gamma rays from lightning. Starting from Georgia, USA, 16 flights were performed, for a total of about 70 flight hours at a cruise altitude of 20 km.

- The study investigates how the number of charged particles produced in proton-lead collisions changes depending on how central the collision is, using data collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider.
- It focuses on measuring the mean charged-particle multiplicity across various pseudorapidity values and finds that the particle distribution demonstrates significant variation based on collision centrality, becoming more asymmetric as collisions become more central.
- Three models are used to estimate the number of nucleons involved in the collision, revealing differing outcomes for charged-particle multiplicities, which emphasizes the need to consider color fluctuations in these interactions for more accurate modeling.
Jet energy measurement and its systematic uncertainty in proton-proton collisions at [Formula: see text] TeV with the ATLAS detector.

The jet energy scale (JES) and its systematic uncertainty are determined for jets measured with the ATLAS detector using proton-proton collision data with a centre-of-mass energy of [Formula: see text] TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]. Jets are reconstructed from energy deposits forming topological clusters of calorimeter cells using the anti-[Formula: see text] algorithm with distance parameters [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text], and are calibrated using MC simulations. A residual JES correction is applied to account for differences between data and MC simulations.

The performance of these algorithms is measured in most cases with [Formula: see text] decays to tau leptons using the full 2012 dataset, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb[Formula: see text].
