Measurements of the production of W$$^{\pm }$$ and Z$$^0$$ bosons in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 13$$ TeV

Abstract Measurements of the production of the W $$^{\pm }$$ ± and Z $$^0$$ 0 bosons at midrapidity in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 13$$ s = 13 TeV with ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are presented. The W $$^{\pm }$$ ± and Z $$^0$$ 0 bosons are detected via their (di)e...

Construction and characterisation of the DarkSide-20k veto silicon photo-multiplier tiles

Abstract Silicon photo-multipliers (SiPMs) are state-of-the-art sensors capable of detecting a single photoelectron under cryogenic conditions, with potentially lower radioactivity than widely used photomultiplier tubes. The DarkSide-20k experiment, designed to perform direct dar...

A multi-differential constraint map for quarkonium suppression mechanisms in high-multiplicity pp and pPb collisions

Abstract The multiplicity-dependent suppression of $$\Upsilon (nS)$$ Υ ( n S ) excited states in high-multiplicity pp and p Pb collisions is analysed using publicly available CMS and LHCb data; preliminary CMS Physics Analysis Summary results in p Pb and light-ion collisions are...

On gravitational collapse and integrable singularities

Abstract Schwarzschild black holes are expected to emerge as the end states of the classical gravitational collapse from non-singular configurations. After integrable curvature singularities appear, the interior geometry can be modelled to exhibit a transition, called “Minkowski...

Rate-Programmable Interfacial Resistive Switching with Tunable Volatility in CuCrP2S6

Metal thiophosphates are emerging as a multifunctional material platform for neuromorphic electronics due to their accessible polar phases and ion dynamics on biologically relevant timescales. While resistive switching in these materials is frequently attributed to ferroelectric...
