Scattering Studies with Low-Energy Kaon-Proton Femtoscopy in Proton-Proton Collisions at the LHC.

The study of the strength and behavior of the antikaon-nucleon (K[over ¯]N) interaction constitutes one of the key focuses of the strangeness sector in low-energy quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In this Letter a unique high-precision measurement of the strong interaction between kaons and protons, close and above the kinematic threshold, is presented. The femtoscopic measurements of the correlation function at low pair-frame relative momentum of (K^{+}p⊕K^{-}p[over ¯]) and (K^{-}p⊕K^{+}p[over ¯]) pairs measured in pp collisions at sqrt[s]=5, 7, and 13 TeV are reported.

Investigations of Anisotropic Flow Using Multiparticle Azimuthal Correlations in pp, p-Pb, Xe-Xe, and Pb-Pb Collisions at the LHC.

Measurements of anisotropic flow coefficients (v_{n}) and their cross-correlations using two- and multiparticle cumulant methods are reported in collisions of pp at sqrt[s]=13  TeV, p-Pb at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02  TeV, Xe-Xe at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.44  TeV, and Pb-Pb at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.

First Observation of an Attractive Interaction between a Proton and a Cascade Baryon.

This Letter presents the first experimental observation of the attractive strong interaction between a proton and a multistrange baryon (hyperon) Ξ^{-}. The result is extracted from two-particle correlations of combined p-Ξ^{-}⊕p[over ¯]-Ξ[over ¯]^{+} pairs measured in p-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02  TeV at the LHC with ALICE.

VUV Photodissociation Dynamics of Nitrous Oxide: The O((1)SJ=0) and O((3)PJ=2,1,0) Product Channels.

Vacuum ultraviolet photodissociation dynamics of nitrous oxide was investigated using the time-sliced velocity ion imaging technique. Images of the O((1)SJ=0) and the O((3)PJ=2,1,0) products were measured at nine photolysis wavelengths from 124.44 to 133.

[Optimization analysis based on wavelength bandwidth for multi-band pyrometry].

The present paper establishes the optimization criteria for achieving the optimum measurements in three-band pyrometry under the assumption of linear emissivity model and the sensor design with Gaussian distribution. By varying the FWHM of Gaussian distribution, the optimization analysis is investigated with the choice of the wavelength bandwidth in three-band pyrometry. For specific cases, the simulation results present the optimum bandwidth distribution.
