One of the goals of ion-ion collision studies is to understand mechanism of particle production and reveal the properties of particle-emitting source. A quark-gluon matter, produced in collisions of relativistic heavy ions at high energies ($\sqrt{s_{NN}}\ge$62.4 GeV), undergoes a rapid transition to the hadronic matter known as crossover [1]. At lower collision energies it is expected that...

The temperature of the hot...
The first measurements of the transverse momentum (pT) spectra, integrated yields and mean pT of Σ0 and anti-Σ0 hyperons in pp collisions at s√=7 TeV at the LHC are presented.

Many models beyond the standard model predict new particles with long lifetimes, such that the position of their decay is measurably displaced from their production vertex. We present recent results of searches for long-lived particles obtained using data recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC
One of the key goals of the heavy-ion programs is to study the transport properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) forming in the collisions of two nuclei, such as the specific shear viscosity η/s as a function of temperature T and baryon chemical potential μB. The precise extraction of such parameters may present a certain difficulties. To strengthen the constraints for η/s(T,...

It is known that the global conservation of spatial parity is a well-established symmetry of strong interactions. So far, no pieces of evidence have been found for P- and CP-symmetry breaking in strong interactions.
However, QCD does not forbid local breaking of parity symmetry due to large topological fluctuations at high temperature with dynamical generation of configurations of nontrivial...

Studies of O–O collisions are foreseen in future experiments after the LHC upgrade [2] as a part of a program to scan the size of colliding systems. As follows from calculations [3,4], the admixture of the alpha-clustered states in C and O leads to a triangular modulation of elliptic flow from the...
