Geological and lithological maps provide essential spatial data for various environmental assessments and studies. However, these maps lack detailed quantitative information on the geotechnical characteristics of rocks and soils, which limits their use for modelling purposes. This study addresses this gap by compiling a comprehensive database of over 2300 geotechnical parameter records searching the international literature.

Such a structure can be studied using high-energy photons produced in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions. The first measurement of the azimuthal angular correlations of exclusively produced events with two jets in photon-lead interactions at large momentum transfer is presented, a process that is considered to be sensitive to the underlying nuclear gluon polarization.

Measurements of the associated production of a W boson and a charm ( ) quark in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 are reported. The analysis uses a data sample corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 19.7 collected by the CMS detector at the LHC.
