The nonadditive entropy S q has been introduced in 1988 focusing on a generalization of
Boltzmann–Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics. The aim was to cover a (possibly wide) class of …

This manual describes the Pythia event generator, the most recent version of an evolving
physics tool used to answer fundamental questions in particle physics. The program is most …

We review the context, the motivations and the expected performances of a comprehensive
and ambitious fixed-target programme using the multi-TeV proton and ion LHC beams. We …

At sufficiently high temperature and energy density, nuclear matter undergoes a transition to
a phase in which quarks and gluons are not confined: the quark–gluon plasma (QGP). Such …

The production rates and the transverse momentum distribution of strange hadrons at mid-
rapidity (\(\left| y\right|< 0.5\)) are measured in proton-proton collisions at\(\sqrt {s}\)= 13 TeV …

One of the key challenges for nuclear physics today is to understand from first principles the
effective interaction between hadrons with different quark content. First successes have …

In this paper measurements are presented of π±, K±, p, and p¯ production at midrapidity (|
y|< 0.5), in Pb-Pb collisions at s NN= 2.76 TeV as a function of centrality. The measurement …

In this Letter, comprehensive results on π±, K±, KS 0, p (p¯) and Λ (Λ¯) production at mid-
rapidity (0< y CMS< 0.5) in p–Pb collisions at s NN= 5.02 TeV, measured by the ALICE …

The ALICE measurement of KS 0 and Λ production at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at s
NN= 2.76 TeV is presented. The transverse momentum (p T) spectra are shown for several …

The production of Ξ− and Ω− baryons and their anti-particles in Pb–Pb collisions at s NN=
2.76 TeV has been measured using the ALICE detector. The transverse momentum spectra …
