Femtoscopic correlations of identical charged pions and kaons in collisions at TeV with event-shape selection
Collective behavior has been observed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions for several decades. Collectivity is driven by the high particle multiplicities that are produced in these collisions. At the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), features of collectivity have also been seen in high-multiplicity proton-proton collisions that can attain particle multiplicities comparable to peripheral Pb-Pb collisions. One of the possible signatures of collective behavior is the decrease of femtoscopic radii extracted from pion and kaon pairs emitted from high-multiplicity collisions with increasing pair transverse momentum. This decrease can be described in terms of an approximate transverse mass scaling. In the present work, femtoscopic analyses are carried out by the ALICE Collaboration on charged pion and kaon pairs produced in p p collisions at s= 13 TeV from the LHC to study possible collectivity in p p collisions. The event-shape …

System-size dependence of the hadronic rescattering effect at energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
The first measurements of K*(892) 0 resonance production as a function of charged-particle multiplicity in Xe-Xe collisions at s N N= 5.44 TeV and p p collisions at s= 5.02 TeV using the ALICE detector are presented. The resonance is reconstructed at midrapidity (| y|< 0.5) using the hadronic decay channel K* 0→ K±π∓. Measurements of transverse-momentum integrated yield, mean transverse-momentum, nuclear modification factor of K* 0, and yield ratios of resonance to stable hadron (K* 0/K) are compared across different collision systems (p p, p-Pb, Xe-Xe, and Pb-Pb) at similar collision energies to investigate how the production of K* 0 resonances depends on the size of the system formed in these collisions. The hadronic rescattering effect is found to be independent of the size of colliding systems and mainly driven by the produced charged-particle multiplicity, which is a proxy of the volume of produced …

Measurements of , , p and spectra in collisions at 13A to 150A
The NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron studies the onset of deconfinement in strongly interacting matter through a beam energy scan of particle production in collisions of nuclei of varied sizes. This paper presents results on inclusive double-differential spectra, transverse momentum and rapidity distributions and mean multiplicities of , , p and produced in collisions at beam momenta of 13A, 19A, 30A, 40A, 75A and 150A . The analysis uses the 10% most central collisions, where the observed forward energy defines centrality. The energy dependence of the / ratios as well as of inverse slope parameters of the transverse mass distributions are placed in between those found in inelastic and central Pb + Pb collisions. The results obtained here establish a system-size dependence of hadron production properties that so far cannot be explained either …

First Measurement of the Dependence of Incoherent Photonuclear Production
The first measurement of the cross section for incoherent photonuclear production of J/ψ vector mesons as a function of the Mandelstam| t| variable is presented. The measurement was carried out with the ALICE detector at midrapidity,| y|< 0.8, using ultraperipheral collisions of Pb nuclei at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of s NN= 5.02 TeV. This rapidity interval corresponds to a Bjorken-x range (0.3–1.4)× 10− 3. Cross sections are given in five| t| intervals in the range 0.04<| t|< 1 GeV 2 and compared to the predictions by different models. Models that ignore quantum fluctuations of the gluon density in the colliding hadron predict a| t| dependence of the cross section much steeper than in data. The inclusion of such fluctuations in the same models provides a better description of the data.

Skewness and kurtosis of mean transverse momentum fluctuations at the LHC energies
The first measurements of skewness and kurtosis of mean transverse momentum (< p T>) fluctuations are reported in Pb–Pb collisions at s NN= 5.02 TeV, Xe–Xe collisions at s NN= 5.44 TeV and pp collisions at s= 5.02 TeV using the ALICE detector. The measurements are carried out as a function of system size< d N ch/d η>| η|< 0.5 1/3, using charged particles with transverse momentum (p T) and pseudorapidity (η), in the range 0.2< p T< 3.0 GeV/c and| η|< 0.8, respectively. In Pb–Pb and Xe–Xe collisions, positive skewness is observed in the fluctuations of< p T> for all centralities, which is significantly larger than what would be expected in the scenario of independent particle emission. This positive skewness is considered a crucial consequence of the hydrodynamic evolution of the hot and dense nuclear matter created in heavy-ion collisions. Furthermore, similar observations of positive skewness for minimum …

Measurement of the radius dependence of charged-particle jet suppression in Pb–Pb collisions at sNN= 5.02 TeV
The ALICE Collaboration reports a differential measurement of inclusive jet suppression using pp and Pb–Pb collision data at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon–nucleon collision s NN= 5.02 TeV. Charged-particle jets are reconstructed using the anti-k T algorithm with resolution parameters R= 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6 in pp collisions and R= 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 in central (0–10%), semi-central (30–50%), and peripheral (60–80%) Pb–Pb collisions. A novel approach based on machine learning is employed to mitigate the influence of jet background. This enables measurements of inclusive jet suppression in new regions of phase space, including down to the lowest jet p T≥ 40 GeV/c at R= 0.6 in central Pb–Pb collisions. This is an important step for discriminating different models of jet quenching in the quark–gluon plasma. The transverse momentum spectra, nuclear modification factors, derived cross section, and …

Measurement of the fraction of jet longitudinal momentum carried by baryons in collisions
Recent measurements of charm-baryon production in hadronic collisions have questioned the universality of charm-quark fragmentation across different collision systems. In this work the fragmentation of charm quarks into charm baryons is probed, by presenting the first measurement of the longitudinal jet momentum fraction carried by Λ c+ baryons, z∥ ch, in hadronic collisions. The results are obtained in proton-proton (p p) collisions at s= 13 TeV at the LHC, with Λ c+ baryons and charged (track-based) jets reconstructed in the transverse momentum intervals of 3≤ p T Λ c+< 15 GeV/c and 7≤ p T jet ch< 15 GeV/c, respectively. The z∥ ch distribution is compared to a measurement of D 0-tagged charged jets in p p collisions as well as to pythia 8 simulations. The data hints that the fragmentation of charm quarks into charm baryons is softer with respect to charm mesons, in the measured kinematic interval, as …

Systematic study of flow vector decorrelation in TeV Pb-Pb collisions
Measurements of the -dependent flow vector fluctuations in Pb-Pb collisions at using azimuthal correlations with the ALICE experiment at the LHC are presented. A four-particle correlation approach [1] is used to quantify the effects of flow angle and magnitude fluctuations separately. This paper extends previous studies to additional centrality intervals and provides measurements of the -dependent flow vector fluctuations at with two-particle correlations. Significant -dependent fluctuations of the flow vector in Pb-Pb collisions are found across different centrality ranges, with the largest fluctuations of up to 15% being present in the 5% most central collisions. In parallel, no evidence of significant -dependent fluctuations of or is found. Additionally, evidence of flow angle and magnitude fluctuations is observed with more than significance in central collisions. These observations in Pb-Pb collisions indicate where the classical picture of hydrodynamic modeling with a common symmetry plane breaks down. This has implications for hard probes at high , which might be biased by -dependent flow angle fluctuations of at least 23% in central collisions. Given the presented results, existing theoretical models should be re-examined to improve our understanding of initial conditions, quark--gluon plasma (QGP) properties, and the dynamic evolution of the created system.

Investigating the nature of the K state with K correlations at the LHC
The first measurements of femtoscopic correlations with the particle pair combinations K in pp collisions at TeV at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are reported by the ALICE experiment. Using the femtoscopic approach, it is shown that it is possible to study the elusive K particle that has been considered a tetraquark candidate for over forty years. Boson source parameters and final-state interaction parameters are extracted by fitting a model assuming a Gaussian source to the experimentally measured two-particle correlation functions. The final-state interaction is modeled through a resonant scattering amplitude, defined in terms of a mass and a coupling parameter, decaying into a K pair. The extracted mass and Breit-Wigner width, derived from the coupling parameter, of the final-state interaction are found to be consistent with previous measurements of the K. The small value and increasing behavior of the correlation strength with increasing source size support the hypothesis that the K is a four-quark state, i.e. a tetraquark state. This latter trend is also confirmed via a simple geometric model that assumes a tetraquark structure of the K resonance.

Measurement of the low-energy antitriton inelastic cross section
In this Letter, the first measurement of the inelastic cross section for antitriton–nucleus interactions is reported, covering the momentum range of 0.8≤ p< 2.4 GeV/c. The measurement is carried out using data recorded with the ALICE detector in pp and Pb–Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon of 13 TeV and 5.02 TeV, respectively. The detector material serves as an absorber for antitriton nuclei. The raw yield of (anti) triton nuclei measured with the ALICE apparatus is compared to the results from detailed ALICE simulations based on the Image 1 toolkit for the propagation of (anti) particles through matter, allowing one to quantify the inelastic interaction probability in the detector material. This analysis complements the measurement of the inelastic cross section of antinuclei up to A= 3 carried out by the ALICE Collaboration, and demonstrates the feasibility of the study of the isospin dependence of …

resonance production in Pb-Pb collisions at TeV
The production of K*(892)±meson resonance is measured at midrapidity (| y|< 0.5) in Pb− Pb collisions at s N N= 5.02 TeV using the ALICE detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The resonance is reconstructed via its hadronic decay channel K*(892)±→ K S 0 π±. The transverse momentum distributions are obtained for various centrality intervals in the p T range of 0.4− 16 GeV/c. Measurements of integrated yields, mean transverse momenta, and particle yield ratios are reported and found to be consistent with previous ALICE measurements for K*(892) 0 within uncertainties. The p T-integrated yield ratio 2 K*(892)±/(K++ K−) in central Pb− Pb collisions shows a significant suppression at a level of 9.3 σ relative to p p collisions. Thermal model calculations result in an overprediction of the particle yield ratio. Although both hadron resonance gas in partial chemical equilibrium (HRG-PCE) and music+ smash …

Longitudinal and transverse spin transfer to and hyperons in polarized collisions at
The longitudinal and transverse spin transfers to Λ (Λ) hyperons in polarized proton-proton collisions are expected to be sensitive to the helicity and transversity distributions, respectively, of (anti) strange quarks in the proton, and to the corresponding polarized fragmentation functions. We report improved measurements of the longitudinal spin transfer coefficient, D L L, and the transverse spin transfer coefficient, D T T, to Λ and Λin polarized proton-proton collisions at s= 200 GeV by the STAR experiment at RHIC. The dataset includes longitudinally polarized proton-proton collisions with an integrated luminosity of 52 pb− 1, and transversely polarized proton-proton collisions with a similar integrated luminosity. Both datasets have about twice the statistics of previous results and cover a kinematic range of| η Λ (Λ)|< 1.2 and transverse momentum p T, Λ (Λ) up to 8 GeV/c. We also report the first measurements of the …

Skewness and kurtosis of mean transverse momentum fluctuations at the LHC energies
The first measurements of skewness and kurtosis of mean transverse momentum (< p T>) fluctuations are reported in Pb–Pb collisions at s NN= 5.02 TeV, Xe–Xe collisions at s NN= 5.44 TeV and pp collisions at s= 5.02 TeV using the ALICE detector.

This positive skewness is considered a crucial consequence of the hydrodynamic evolution of the hot and dense nuclear matter created in heavy-ion collisions.

Exclusive four pion photoproduction in ultraperipheral Pb-Pb collisions at TeV
The intense photon fluxes from relativistic nuclei provide an opportunity to study photonuclear interactions in ultraperipheral collisions. The measurement of coherently photoproduced final states in ultraperipheral Pb-Pb collisions at TeV is presented for the first time. The cross section, d/d, times the branching ratio () is found to be mb in the rapidity interval . The invariant mass distribution is not well described with a single Breit-Wigner resonance. The production of two interfering resonances, and , provides a good description of the data. The values of the masses () and widths () of the resonances extracted from the fit are MeV/, MeV/, MeV/ and MeV/, respectively. The measured cross sections times the branching ratios are compared to recent theoretical predictions.
