Recent Progress and New Challenges in Isospin Physics with Heavy-Ion Reactions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the major progress achieved during the last decade in isospin physics with heavy ion reactions and discuss future challenges to the most important issues in this field.
Journal ArticleDOI

The phase diagram of dense QCD

TL;DR: The current status of theoretical studies on the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram at finite temperature and baryon chemical potential is reviewed with special emphasis on the origin of various phases and their symmetry breaking patterns as mentioned in this paper.

The ALICE TPC, a large 3-dimensional tracking device with fast readout for ultra-high multiplicity events

TL;DR: The ALICE Time-Projection Chamber (TPC) as discussed by the authors is the main device for pattern recognition, tracking, and identification of charged particles in the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC.

Heavy-flavour and quarkonium production in the LHC era: from proton–proton to heavy-ion collisions

Anton Andronic, +60 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the study of open heavy-flavour and quarkonium production in high-energy hadronic collisions, as tools to investigate fundamental aspects of Quantum Chromodynamics, from the proton and nucleus structure at high energy to deconfinement and the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma.

QCD and strongly coupled gauge theories: challenges and perspectives

Nora Brambilla, +53 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in theory and in experiment, are highlighted, highlighting how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a broad sweep of physical problems, in settings ranging from astrophysics and cosmology to strongly coupled, complex systems in particle and condensed-matter physics, as well as searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.

An Alternative to compactification

TL;DR: In this paper, a single 3-brane embedded in five dimensions was shown to reproduce four-dimensional Newtonian and general relativistic gravity to more than adequate precision, even without a gap in the Kaluza-Klein spectrum.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Hierarchy problem and new dimensions at a millimeter

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a new framework for solving the hierarchy problem which does not rely on either supersymmetry or technicolor, and they take as the only fundamental short distance scale in nature.
Journal ArticleDOI

New generation of parton distributions with uncertainties from global QCD analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, a new generation of parton distribution functions with increased precision and quantitative estimates of uncertainties is presented, using a recently developed eigenvector-basis approach to the hessian method, which provides the means to quickly estimate the uncertainties of a wide range of physical processes at these high-energy hadron colliders, based on current knowledge of the parton distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI

New dimensions at a millimeter to a Fermi and superstrings at a TeV

TL;DR: In this article, a new framework for solving the hierarchy problem has been proposed which does not rely on low energy supersymmetry or technicolor, and this framework can be embedded in string theory.
