41. Studies of deconfined matter at the LHC with ALICE

Anton Andronic (GSI Darmstadt)

24/01/2018, 09:00

Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics

Overview Talk

Deconfined matter is produced in the laboratory at highest energy densities in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC. A selection of recent results from ALICE will be presented, spanning observables from the soft sector (bulk particle production and correlations) to hard probes (charmed hadrons and jets).

67. Physics with ultracold neutrons

Prof. Zimmer Oliver

Fundamental Interactions

Overview Talk

Ultracold neutrons (UCNs) can be confined and manipulated in traps and are an excellent probe to study fundamental symmetries and interactions. Storage lifetimes of several hundred seconds enable high-precision experiments with impact on astrophysics and cosmology, complementary to high-energy physics. Although longstanding, the search for a non-vanishing electric dipole moment of the neutron...

Nuclear Physics with Strangeness

37. Testing the conjecture of partial chiral symmetry restoration - meson-nucleus potentials and the search for meson-nucleus bound states

Prof. Volker Metag (II. Physikalisches Insititut)

24/01/2018, 11:40

Hadron Physics

Overview Talk

Chiral model calculations, assuming a partial restoration of chiral symmetry in a nuclear medium, predict modifications of meson properties within nuclei. An overview will be given on current experiments studying in-medium properties of mesons and the meson-nucleus interaction to extract meson-nucleus potentials. The real part of the meson nucleus potential describes whether the interaction is...

4. The Pierre Auger Observatory

Dr Darko Veberic (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)

24/01/2018, 12:10

Nuclear Structure and Astrophysics

Overview Talk

The Pierre Auger Observatory, located on a vast, high plain in western Argentina, is the world's largest cosmic ray observatory. The objectives of the Observatory are to probe the origin and characteristics of cosmic rays with energies above $10^{17}$ eV and to study the interactions of these most energetic particles observed in nature. The Observatory design features an array of 1660...
