The Muon Puzzle in cosmic-ray induced air showers and its connection to the Large Hadron Collider

J Albrecht, L Cazon, H Dembinski, A Fedynitch… - Astrophysics and Space …, 2022 - Springer
High-energy cosmic rays are observed indirectly by detecting the extensive air showers
initiated in Earth's atmosphere. The interpretation of these observations relies on accurate …

Gluon saturation and initial conditions for relativistic heavy ion collisions

JL Albacete, C Marquet - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2014 - Elsevier

Tuning PYTHIA 8.1: the Monash 2013 tune

P Skands, S Carrazza, J Rojo - The European Physical Journal C, 2014 - Springer
We present an updated set of parameters for the PYTHIA 8 event generator. We reevaluate
the constraints imposed by LEP and SLD on hadronization, in particular with regard to heavy …

String formation beyond leading colour

JR Christiansen, PZ Skands - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2015 - Springer
A bstract We present a new model for the hadronisation of multi-parton systems, in which
colour correlations beyond leading NC are allowed to influence the formation of confining …

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

T Pierog, I Karpenko, JM Katzy, E Yatsenko, K Werner - Physical Review C, 2015 - APS
Epos is a Monte Carlo event generator for minimum bias hadronic interactions, used for both
heavy ion interactions and cosmic ray air shower simulations. Since the last public release …

Tuning Monte Carlo generators: the perugia tunes

PZ Skands - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2010 - APS
We present 9 new tunes of the p⊥-ordered shower and underlying-event model in Pythia
