Production of Σ baryons as a function of multiplicity in pp collisions at the LHC with ALICE by Gordeev Pavel

“…Historically, the first one used the decay channel Σ+ → pπ0 with reconstruction of the proton with the tracking systems at mid-rapidity and the π0 in the electromagnetic calorimeter EMCAL or via the photon conversion method. The second technique used the decay channel ∑-± → n¯π± where charged pions are reconstructed with the tracking systems and the anti-neutron in the precise electromagnetic calorimeter PHOS. …”

Optical Coherence Tomography of Van Der Waals Heterostructures Using Extreme Ultraviolet Light by Felix Wiesner, Johann J. Abel, Muhammad Hussain, Vipin Krishna, Alisson R. Cadore, Juan P. G. Felipe, Ana M. Valencia, Martin Wünsche, Julius Reinhard, Marco Gruenewald, Caterina Cocchi, Gerhard G. Paulus, Giancarlo Soavi, Silvio Fuchs

“…The EUV coherence tomography contrast is estimated in a broad spectral range (photon energy 65 –100 eV). This work sets the basis for the development of a new spectroscopy tool that, thanks to the temporal profile of EUV light sources and the high axial resolution of coherence tomography, can become the ideal probe of ultrafast processes occurring in van der Waals heterostructures and buried nanoscale opto‐electronic devices.…”
