Recent results from NA61/SHINE by Rybicki Andrzej

“…Particular attention is devoted to (1) the first-ever direct measurement of open charm production in nucleus-nucleus collisions at SPS energies (2) the difference observed between charged and neutral meson production in Ar+Sc reactions, up to now not understood by existing models, and (3) the importance of baseline effects in the search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter.…”

Nonlocal order parameter of pair superfluids by Nitya Cuzzuol, Luca Barbiero, Arianna Montorsi

“…Order parameters represent a fundamental resource to characterize quantum matter. We show that pair superfluids can be rigorously defined in terms of a nonlocal order parameter, named odd parity, which derivation is experimentally accessible by local density measurements. …”

Design principles for electrically driven Luttinger liquid-fed plasmonic nanoantennas by Jeon Eun Su, Ko YoonYeong, Yoo SeokJae

“…Electrons injected into one-dimensional (1D) metals are efficiently converted into infrared plasmons because the unique property of the Luttinger liquid, a strongly correlated electronic matter in one-dimensional (1D) metals, prohibits excitations of other quasiparticles. …”

Entropic Entanglement: Information Prison Break by Alexander Y. Yosifov, Lachezar G. Filipov

“…Hence, by treating gravity as a field theory and considering its coupling to the matter fields in the Minkowski vacuum, we derive the conjectured fluctuations of the background geometry of a black hole.…”

Biogram of the Lithuanian book in retrospective bibliography (until 1940) by Dalia Gargasaitė

“… Creation of biograms for the publications of retrospective bibliography is a rather complicated matter. A biogram is composed for the author, compiler, and translator, commencing with the appearance of the first Lithuanian book in 1547 and extending to the present, with the 3rd volume, including the publications of 1905-1917, now in preparation. …”
