Lévy walk of pions in heavy-ion collisions by Dániel Kincses, Márton Nagy, Máté Csanád

“…In this paper, we introduce a three-dimensional analysis of the spatial freeze-out distribution of pions (the most abundant particles in such collisions). Utilising Monte-Carlo simulations of high-energy collisions, we show that the chain of processes ending in a final state pion has a step length distribution leading to Lévy-stable distributions. …”

Tephra fallout hazard assessment for a hydrovolcanic eruptive scenario in Mayotte by Audrey Michaud-Dubuy, Jean-Christophe Komorowski, Tristan Lacombe, Lucia Gurioli

“…Even when considering the least impacting scenario, we show that ~ 30,000 people could be threatened by a future explosive eruption in the highly densely populated island of Petite-Terre. We then use a Monte Carlo approach to sample a series of eruptive scenarios and produce a probabilistic map allowing a long-term vision of the tephra fallout hazard in Mayotte. …”
