NA61/SHINE is a multipurpose fixed-target experiment located at CERN SPS. Its research program includes studies of strong interactions as well as reference measurements for neutrino and cosmic-ray physics.
One of its main goals is to study the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter.
For this purpose, a unique two-dimensional scan in beam momentum 13A-150(8)A GeV/c and the system size,...
A heavy quark-antiquark ($Q\bar Q$) pair can be produced in several pQCD processes, which impose different correlations between the $Q$ and $\bar Q$. Employing the recently advanced EPOS4HQ event generator, which contains these processes, we show that they explain the measured $D$$\bar D$ and $DD$ correlations and how they influence the $p_T$ distributions of open heavy flavor mesons in...
I will present our novel study of quarkonium-production at ultra-high transverse momentum at the LHC. We have performed a complete computation at NLO $(\alpha_s^3)$+ NLL $(\alpha_s^{n+1} \ln^n(p_T/m_H))$ using leading-power Fragmentation Functions (FFs). We have performed a thorough analysis of the theoretical uncertainties including those from the FF modelling, the scales...
The enhanced production of strange hadrons in heavy-ion collisions relative to that in pp collisions is historically considered one of the signatures of the formation of the quark-gluon plasma. At the LHC, the ALICE experiment observed that the yield ratios of strange to non-strange hadrons increase with the charged-particle multiplicity at midrapidity, evolving smoothly across all systems...
Recent measurements in pp and p-Pb collisions at the LHC showed that the production of light-flavour hadrons relative to pions increases with the charged particle multiplicity of the event already in small systems. This smooth evolution connects different collision systems almost independently of the collision energy. This extends to the strangeness sector, where the enhanced production of...
The Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) is the proposal to deliver electron-proton/nucleus collisions at CERN using the LHC hadron or nuclear beams and a 50 GeV electron beam from an Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) in racetrack configuration. While the 2021 update of its CDR [1] contemplated concurrent operation of electron-hadron and hadron-hadron collisions at the HL-LHC followed by standalone...
