Measurement of the production of high-pT electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV
2017
Electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays (charm and beauty) were measured with the ALICE detector in Pb–Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass of energy √sNN = 2.76 TeV. The transverse momentum (pT) differential production yields at mid-rapidity were used to calculate the nuclear modification factor RAA in the interval 3 < pT < 18 GeV/c. The RAA shows a strong suppression compared to binary scaling of pp collisions at the same energy (up to a factor of 4) in the 10% most central Pb–Pb collisions. There is a centrality trend of suppression, and a weaker suppression (down to a factor of 2) in semi-peripheral (50–80%) collisions is observed. The suppression of electrons in this broad pT interval …
Production of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays in p–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV
2017
The production of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays in p–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV was studied for 2 < pT < 16 GeV/c with the ALICE detector at the CERN LHC. The measurement was performed at forward (p-going direction) and backward (Pb-going direction) rapidity, in the ranges of rapidity in the centre-of-mass system (cms) 2.03 < ycms < 3.53 and −4.46 < ycms < −2.96, respectively. The production cross sections and nuclear modification factors are presented as a function of transverse momentum (pT). At forward rapidity, the nuclear modification factor is compatible with unity while at backward rapidity, in the interval 2.5 < pT < 3.5 GeV/c, it is above unity by more than 2σ. The r…
First measurement of the Sivers asymmetry for gluons using SIDIS data
2017
The Sivers function describes the correlation between the transverse spin of a nucleon and the transverse motion of its partons. It was extracted from measurements of the azimuthal asymmetry of hadrons produced in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering of leptons off transversely polarised nucleon targets, and it turned out to be non-zero for quarks. In this letter the evaluation of the Sivers asymmetry for gluons in the same process is presented. The analysis method is based on a Monte Carlo simulation that includes three hard processes: photon-gluon fusion, QCD Compton scattering and leading-order virtual-photon absorption process. The Sivers asymmetries of the three processes are simul…
Production of Σ(1385)± and Ξ(1530)0 in proton–proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV
2015
The production of the strange and double-strange baryon resonances ((1385)±, (1530)0) has been measured at mid-rapidity (|y|< 0.5) in proton–proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. Transverse momentum spectra for inelastic collisions are compared to QCD-inspired models, which in general underpredict the data. A search for the φ(1860) pentaquark, decaying in the π channel, has been carried out but no evidence is seen. peerReviewed
Measurement of emission-angle anisotropy via long-range angular correlations with high-pT hadrons in d+Au and p+p collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV
2018
We present measurements of two-particle angular correlations between high-transverse-momentum (2 < pT < 11 GeV/c) π0 observed at midrapidity (|η| < 0.35) and particles produced either at forward (3.1 <η< 3.9) or backward (−3.7 <η< −3.1) rapidity in d + Au and p + p collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV. The azimuthal angle correlations for particle pairs with this large rapidity gap in the Au-going direction exhibit a characteristic structure that persists up to pT ≈ 6 GeV/c and which strongly depends on collision centrality, which is a similar characteristic to the hydrodynamical particle flow in A + A collisions. The structure is absent in the d-going direction as well as in p + p collisions, in t…
Nuclear fission studies with the IGISOL method and JYFLTRAP
2015
there is no unique model or theory which describes all aspects of this phenomenon. Experimental measurements of nuclear fission product distributions still remains quite a challenging task for modern technologies. In the present work nuclear fission is studied from the radioactive ion beam production point of view. Some models suggest that the neutron-induced fission can be more favorable for production of neutron-rich nuclides than the proton-induced fission. The general idea of this thesis is to compare all aspects of both approaches in connection with the IGISOL method. A new technique to determine independent fission product yields was suggested for the comparison. This technique has be…
Measurement of J/ψ at forward and backward rapidity in p+p, p+Al, p+Au, and 3He+Au collisions at √sNN=200 GeV
2020
Charmonium is a valuable probe in heavy-ion collisions to study the properties of the quark gluon plasma, and is also an interesting probe in small collision systems to study cold nuclear matter effects, which are also present in large collision systems. With the recent observations of collective behavior of produced particles in small system collisions, measurements of the modification of charmonium in small systems have become increasingly relevant. We present the results of J/Psi measurements at forward and backward rapidity in various small collision systems, p + p, p + Al, p + Au, and He-3+Au, at root s(NN) = 200 GeV. The results are presented in the form of the observable RAB, the nuc…
