Exploring the nature of the proposed magic number N = 32
Magic numbers appear in nuclei in which protons or neutrons completely fill a shell. The existence of magic numbers to explain certain regularities observed in nuclei was discovered in 1949 independen...

Jet ν2 measurements with ALICE
High-energy scattering of partons (quarks and gluons) produces collimated cones of particles called jets, the production rate of which can be calculated using perturbative QCD techniques. In heavy-ion...

LHCb brings charm physics to the frontier of experimental knowledge
Owing to the large cross-section for charm production at the LHC, LHCb collected the world’s largest sample of charmed hadrons, allowing for stringent tests of the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–...
