TLDR
In this paper, the production of mesons containing strange quarks (KS, φ) and both singly and doubly strange baryons (,, and − + +) are measured at mid-rapidity in pp collisions at √ s = 0.9 TeV with the ALICE experiment at the LHC.

Parton-hadron matter in- and out-off equilibrium

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the shear and bulk viscosities of partonic and hadronic matter, as well as the electric conductivity as functions of temperature T within the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) off-shell transport approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

ALICE on Duty

TL;DR: The first ideas about a heavy-ion experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN were formed in the early nineties (in the last century). The motivation was to study strongly interacting matter at extreme conditions of high density and temperature, presumably in a new phase called quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in which quarks and gluons would be deconfined as mentioned in this paper.

Plans for Experiment Protection at the LHC

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the general experiment protection strategy against beam failures with some emphasis on silicon vertex detectors of the LHC experiments, and present a detailed analysis of the proposed experiment protection strategies.

Determination of the quark-gluon string parameters from the data on pp, pA and AA collisions at wide energy range using Bayesian Gaussian Process Optimization

TL;DR: In this paper, a Bayesian Gaussian Process Optimization (BGP) was applied to the Monte Carlo model with string fusion, and the parameters of the model were determined using experimental data on multiplicity and cross section of pp, pA and AA collisions at wide energy range.

Evolution of strange and multi-strange hadron production with relative transverse multiplicity activity in underlying event

TL;DR: In this article, the relative production of hadrons in low and high transverse activity regions was investigated using the relative Underlying Event (UE) transverse multiplicity activity classifier, which is used to disentangle these particles, which are originating from the soft and hard QCD processes.

GEANT Detector Description and Simulation Tool

TL;DR: GEANT as discussed by the authors is a system of detector description and simulation tools that help physicists in high energy particle physics experiments, and it can be used to design and optimise the detectors, develop and test the reconstruction and analysis programs, and interpret the experimental data.

Application of Kalman filtering to track and vertex fitting

TL;DR: In this article, the proper theoretical framework for these procedures is the theory of linear filtering, in particular the Kalman filter, and the results from filtering theory are confirmed and extend the previous results.

EPS09: A New Generation of NLO and LO Nuclear Parton Distribution Functions

TL;DR: In this paper, a next-to-leading order (NLO) analysis of nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs) and their uncertainties was carried out for the first time with three different types of experimental input, including Drell-Yan dilepton production in p+A collisions and inclusive pion production in d+Au and p+p collisions at RHIC.
