Short Contribution
Charge symmetry of the strong interaction predicts that the Λp and Λn interaction and consequently their contribution to the binding energies of mirror hypernuclei are identical. In the system of A=4 hypernuclei, however, emulsion measurements found an exceptionally large difference of 0.35 ± 0.05 MeV for the ground state binding energies. Very recently gamma-ray measurements in Λ-He4 at...

Nuclear Structure and Astrophysics
Short Contribution
Classical macroscopic considerations indicate that the nuclear surface energy is too strong to allow shape vibrations of the nucleus low enough in energy to be found within the pairing gap. The experimental evidence for the need for configuration dependent pairing to explain low-lying ex-“β vibration” 0+ states in deformed nuclei will be reiterated. The low-lying Kπ=2+ ex-“γ vibration” states...

Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics
Short Contribution
SMASH is a new hadronic transport model designed to describe the non-equilibrium evolution of heavy-ion collisions. After a brief introduction to the model, it will be shown that SMASH correctly reproduces the cross sections and maintains detailed balance. First comparisons to pion rapidity spectra measured by FOPI and HADES will be presented, followed by predictions for strangeness production...

Elementary Particle Physics
Short Contribution
Measurements of the properties of charged particle production are presented from proton-proton collisions at different centre-of-mass energies with focus on the latest results from obtained in 13 TeV collisions in summer 2015. The results are compared to various Monte Carlo event generator models, which describe the data to different extend. Furthermore particle distributions sensitive to the...

Nuclear Structure and Astrophysics
Short Contribution
Recent advances in ab initio nuclear structure theory have led to groundbreaking predictions in the exotic medium-mass region, from the location of the neutron dripline to the emergence of new magic numbers far from stability. Playing a key role in this progress has been the development of sophisticated many-body techniques and chiral effective field theory, which provides a systematic basis...

Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics
Short Contribution
The statistical hadronization (or thermal) model was initially developed by Hagedorn for hadron collisions above 10 GeV/c primary laboratory momentum [1]. In relativistic heavy-ion physics, many authors have developed it further and compared to a large amount of data in particular for hadron production rates, e.g. [2,3,4], where it yields excellent results.
To decide whether the system is...
