Article Synopsis
- The ALICE detector measured the cross section for incoherent photonuclear production of J/ψ vector mesons, focusing on the Mandelstam |t| variable, during ultraperipheral collisions of Pb nuclei at a very high energy of 5.02 TeV.
- The measurement was conducted within a rapidity interval of |y|<0.8 and covers a specific range of Bjorken-x values.
- Analysis showed that models without quantum fluctuations in the gluon density predicted a much steeper |t|-dependence than observed, but including these fluctuations improved the models' alignment with the data.
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.

- Tacrine (THA) has been phased out due to safety concerns but is still used as a framework in drug development for its effectiveness against multiple targets, although its potential for liver toxicity is a major concern.
- Researchers developed 30 new derivatives focusing on minimizing hepatotoxicity while maintaining anticholinesterase properties and targeting specific NMDA receptor subtypes, leading to the identification of two promising candidates, I-52 and II-52.
- Compound I-52 was highlighted as a lead candidate, demonstrating minimal toxicity, favorable neuroprotective effects in behavioral tests, and lower hepatotoxicity compared to traditional THA-based drugs.
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).
