At the end of March 2015 the onboard software configuration of the Astrorivelatore Gamma a Immagini Leggero (AGILE) satellite was modified in order to disable the veto signal of the anticoincidence shield for the minicalorimeter instrument. The motivation for such a change was the understanding that the dead time induced by the anticoincidence prevented the detection of a large fraction of Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes (TGFs). The configuration change was highly successful resulting in an increase of one order of magnitude in TGF detection rate.

- 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 fiducial cross section for this process is measured in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb^{-1}, collected by the ATLAS detector in 2012.
