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.

Tuning Monte Carlo Generators: The Perugia Tunes

Peter Skands
- 20 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the p{sub perpendicular}-ordered shower and underlying event model in Pythia 6.4 is updated and supersede the older "S0" family, and a set of 8 related "Perugia variations" that attempt to systematically explore soft, hard, parton density, and color structure variations in the theoretical parameters.

EPOS LHC: Test of collective hadronization with data measured at the CERN Large Hadron Collider

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the changes required to the model to reproduce in detail the new data available from LHC and the consequences in the interpretation of these data, in particular the effect of the collective hadronization in p-p scattering.

The alice experiment at the CERN LHC

TL;DR: ALICE as discussed by the authors is a general-purpose heavy-ion detector designed to study the physics of strongly interacting matter and the quark-gluon plasma in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC at a center of mass energy of 5.5 TeV/nucleon.

Straggling in thin silicon detectors

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the convolution method to calculate straggling functions for thin silicon absorbers and compared the results with those obtained from other theories (Landau) for relativistic particles (e.g., electrons, mesons, protons, and their antiparticles).

Delayed disintegration of a heavy nuclear fragment: I

TL;DR: The delayed disintegration of a heavy nuclear fragment was first reported in this paper, where the authors considered the problem of a nuclear fragment being separated from its nuclear core by delaying its disintegration.

Low-mass dileptons at the CERN-SpS: evidence for chiral restoration?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculate pertinent dilepton production rates from hot and dense hadronic matter in Pb(158AGeV)+Au collisions, incorporating recent information on the hadro-chemical composition at CERN-SpS energies.

Dilepton radiation at the CERN super-proton synchrotron

TL;DR: In this article, a quantitative evaluation of dilepton sources in heavy-ion reactions is performed taking into account both thermal and non-thermal production mechanisms, and a convolution of the emission rates over a thermal fireball expansion results in good agreement with experiment in the low-mass spectra, confirming the predicted broadening of the ρ meson in hadronic matter in connection with the prevalence of baryon induced medium effects.

Track fitting with multiple scattering: A new method

TL;DR: In this paper, the points measured on the track are included backwards, one by one, in the fitting algorithm, and the scattering is handled locally at each step; the algorithm is very flexible and allows fast programmation; moreover the computation time is merely proportional to the number of measured points, contrary to the other optimal estimators.
