Measurements of Higher Order Flow Harmonics inAu+AuCollisions atsNN=200 GeV
2011
Flow coefficients nu(n) for n = 2, 3, 4, characterizing the anisotropic collective flow in Au + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV, are measured relative to event planes Psi(n), determined at large rapidity. We report nu(n) as a function of transverse momentum and collision centrality, and study the correlations among the event planes of different order n. The nu(n) are well described by hydrodynamic models which employ a Glauber Monte Carlo initial state geometry with fluctuations, providing additional constraining power on the interplay between initial conditions and the effects of viscosity as the system evolves. This new constraint can serve to improve the precision of the extracted …

Numerical evaluation of NLO multiparton processes
2013
We discuss an algorithm for the numerical evaluation of NLO multiparton processes. We focus hereby on the virtual part of the NLO calculation, i.e. on evaluating the one-loop integration numerically. We employ and extend the ideas of the subtraction method to the virtual part and we use subtraction terms for the soft, collinear and ultraviolet regions, which allows us to evaluate the loop integral numerically in four dimensions. A second ingredient is a method to deform the integration contour of the loop integration into the complex plane. The algorithm is derived on the level of the primitive amplitudes, where we utilise recursive relations to generate the corresponding one-loop off-shell…
Further Theoretical Analysis on the $K^{-} {}^{3} \text{He} \to \Lambda p n$ Reaction for the $\bar{K} N N$ Bound-State Search in the J-PARC E15 Expe…
2019
Based on the scenario that a $\bar{K} N N$ bound state is generated and it eventually decays into $\Lambda p$, we calculate the cross section of the $K^{-} {}^{3} \text{He} \to \Lambda p n$ reaction, which was recently measured in the J-PARC E15 experiment. We find that the behavior of the calculated differential cross section $d ^{2} \sigma / d M_{\Lambda p} d q_{\Lambda p}$, where $M_{\Lambda p}$ and $q_{\Lambda p}$ are the $\Lambda p$ invariant mass and momentum transfer in the $(K^{-} , \, n)$ reaction in the laboratory frame, respectively, is consistent with the experiment. Furthermore, we can reproduce almost quantitatively the experimental data of the $\Lambda p$ invariant mass spect…
Hydrodynamic Description of Very High Energy Heavy Ion Collisions
1999
In ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, \(\sqrt {^\delta NN}\) ≳ 20 GeV, a large number of particles is produced. At the early stage the system is very dense and the mean free path of particles is much less than the size of produced matter. The system must expand before the particles can propagate freely out from the interaction zone.
Results of the NA31 Experiment on K0Decays
1989
Decays of neutral kaons are of high interest in high energy physics. The discovery of CP violation1 opened up a field of new physics. Today, interest is concentrated on precision measurements of CP-violating parameters as well as on searches for rare decays that are suppressed or forbidden in the standard model.
EDM observables for τ production with polarized beams
2008
The Tau-lepton electric dipole moment (EDM) can be measured at Super B/Flavor factories operating with polarized electron beams at energies near and on top of the ¤ resonances. In particular, new CP-odd observables, independent from others already considered, will allow to put stringent bounds on the ? EDM.
The “Physics Beyond Colliders” Projects for the CERN M2 Beam
2019
Abstract Physics Beyond Colliders is an exploratory study aimed at exploiting the full scientific potential of CERN’s accelerator complex up to 2040 and its scientific infrastructure through projects complementary to the existing and possible future colliders. Within the Conventional Beam Working Group (CBWG), several projects for the M2 beam line in the CERN North Area were proposed, such as a successor for the COMPASS experiment, a muon programme for NA64 dark sector physics, and the MuonE proposal aiming at investigating the hadronic contribution to the vacuum polarisation. We present integration and beam optics studies for 100 – 160 GeV/c muon beams as well as an outlook for improvement…
Site selection for the new generation of giant neutrino detectors
2012
The main findings of the LAGUNA Design Study are briefly discussed. Construction of giant underground detectors is technically feasible at several sites. Physics factors will dominate in the site selection.
