Probing the Effects of Strong Electromagnetic Fields with Charge-Dependent Directed Flow in Pb-Pb Collisions at the LHC

Abstract: The first measurement at the LHC of charge-dependent directed flow (v1) relative to the spectator plane is presented for Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN p = 5.02 TeV. Results are reported for charged hadrons and D0 mesons for the transverse momentum intervals pT > 0.2 GeV=c and 3 < pT < 6 GeV=c in the 5%–40% and 10%–40% centrality classes, respectively. The difference between the positively and negatively charged hadron v1 has a positive slope as a function of pseudorapidity η, dΔv1=dη = [1.68 ± 0.49(stat) x 0.41(syst) × 10^−4. The same measurement for D^0 and D¯ ^0 mesons yields a positive value dΔv1/dη = [4.9 ± 1.7(stat) ± 0.6(syst) × 10^−1, which is about 3 orders of magnitude larger than the one of the charged hadrons. These measurements can provide new insights into the effects of the strong electromagnetic field and the initial tilt of matter created in noncentral heavy ion collisions on th e dynamics of light (u, d, and s) and heavy (c) quarks. The large difference between the observed Δv1 of charged hadrons and D0 mesons may reflect different sensitivity of the charm and light quarks to the early time dynamics of a heavy ion collision. These observations challenge some recent theoretical calculations, which predicted a negative and an order of magnitude smaller value of dΔv1=dη for both light flavor and charmed hadrons.

Aryl-substituted unsymmetrical benzothiadiazoles: synthesis, structure, and properties.

Abstract: A family of unsymmetrical donor–acceptor, ferrocenyl-substituted benzothiadiazoles of types D1–π–A−π–D2, D1–π–A1–π–A2, D1–A−π–D2, and D1–A1–A2–D2, bearing a variety of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups, were designed and synthesized. Their photophysical, electrochemical, and computational properties were explored, which show strong donor–acceptor interaction. The presence of electron-rich units anthracene (6f) and triphenylamine (6h), and an electron-deficient unit 1,1,4,4-tetracyanobuta-1,3-diene (TCBD) (9b) results in lowering of the band gap, which leads to a red shift of the absorption spectrum in these benzothiadiazole systems. The single crystal structures of 6c, 6g, 7a, and 7b are reported, which show marvelous supramolecular interactions.

Ferrocenyl BODIPYs: synthesis, structure and properties

Abstract: A set of donor–π-acceptor–π-donor type ferrocenyl substituted BODIPYs were designed and synthesized by the Sonogashira coupling reaction. These compounds exhibit red shifted absorption and poor fluorescence. The electrochemical properties of these compounds exhibit strong donor–acceptor interactions. The crystal structure of 3b exhibits an extensive hydrogen bonded 2-D network.
