A search for Z bosons in the mu^+ mu^-decay channel has been performed in PbPb
collisions at a nucleon-nucleon centre of mass energy= 2.76 TeV with the CMS detector at …

Understanding the passage of particles through matter amounts to understanding properties
of the matter through which the particles pass. This is illustrated eg by the Bethe-Bloch …

We estimate the amount of collective “elliptic flow” expected at mid-rapidity in proton–proton
(p–p) collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), assuming that any possible …

We explore for the first time the possibilities to measure an intermediate-mass (m H= 115–
140 GeV/c 2) standard model Higgs boson in electromagnetic proton-lead (p Pb) …

We present performance studies of a full-length prototype for the CASTOR quartz-tungsten
sampling calorimeter, installed in the very forward region of the CMS experiment at the LHC …

We explore various aspects of the motion of heavy quarks in strongly-coupled gauge
theories, employing the AdS/CFT correspondence. Building on earlier work by Mikhailov, we …

Medium-induced gluon radiation is usually identified as the dominant dynamical mechanism
underling the jet quenching phenomenon observed in heavy-ion collisions. In its actual …

Jets produced in nucleus–nucleus collisions at the LHC are expected to be strongly
modified due to the interaction of the parton shower with the dense QCD matter. Here, we …

We determine the energy it takes to move a test quark along a circle of radius L with angular
frequency ω through the strongly coupled plasma of N=4 supersymmetric Yang–Mills (SYM) …

The LHC data on azimuthal anisotropy harmonics from PbPb collisions at center-of-mass
energy 2.76 TeV per nucleon pair are analyzed and interpreted in the framework of the …
