PDF evolution in alternative factorisation schemes

Abstract Beyond leading order, parton distribution functions (PDFs) require a choice of factorisation scheme to be defined unambiguously. Different choices of factorisation scheme lead to PDFs that satisfy modified DGLAP evolution equations, relative to the conventional $$\overli...

Tunable Magnetotransport across Competing Magnetic Phases in the Distorted Kagome Antiferromagnet HoPtSn

Abstract Competing magnetic phases in frustrated systems provide a fertile ground for unusual magnetic and electronic responses owing to their sensitivity to external perturbations. The distorted kagome antiferromagnet HoPtSn is an example of such a system, exhibiting successive...

Five years of clinical application of independent Monte Carlo-based patient-specific quality assurance at Maastro Proton Therapy Center

Introduction At the Maastro Proton Therapy Center in Maastricht, patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) based on independent GPU-accelerated Monte Carlo (MC) dose calculations fully replaces conventional measurements. Measurement-based PSQA is time- and resource-intensive and...

Ternary Liquid-Crystalline Mixture Showing Broad Antiferroelectric Smectic CA* and Glassy Hexatic Smectic XA* Phases

Abstract A ternary liquid crystalline mixture was designed to obtain a tilted hexatic smectic phase in the glassy state. Structural, electro-optic, and dielectric properties of the mixture are investigated, and selected measurements are also performed for its pure components. In...

Les Houches study on inclusive jet production at NNLO+NNLL

Jet production at the LHC is a powerful probe of QCD, making it ideal for precision tests and determinations of QCD parameters such as parton distribution functions and the strong coupling constant. To make the most of the abundant jet production data collected at the LHC, precis...
