In this work, we present preliminary results from a measurement of the recently proposed observable, $v_0(p_T)$, in lead-lead (PbPb) collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76 \text{ TeV}$, using public data from the CMS Open Data portal. This…
The astrophysical rapid neutron capture nucleosynthesis process (r-process) remains an active area of research due to the fact that it occurs in extreme conditions and involves reactions with exotic nuclei that are difficult to study…
Background: Type I X-Ray bursts (XRBs) are energetic stellar explosions that occur on the surface of a neutron star in an accreting binary system with a low-mass H/He-rich companion. The rate of the $^{34}$Ar($\alpha,p$)$^{37}$K reaction…
The MexNICA Collaboration coordinates the activities of Mexican scientists, engineers, postdoctoral fellows and students in the Multi-Purpose Detector experiment at the Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility of the Joint Institute for…
Charged kaon--deuteron interactions offer a sensitive probe of the strangeness sector of QCD at low energy, particularly through their scattering parameters. Despite available theoretical predictions, experimental constraints remain absent,…
In the recent years, argon-based experiments looking for Dark Matter in the Universe have explored the non-standard scenario in which Dark Matter is made by low-mass Weakly Interacting Massive Particles, of mass in the range of 1-10 GeV…
The excitation functions of proton induced reactions on natMo targets are measured using the activation technique followed by off-line {\gamma}-ray spectroscopy with improved precision. The experiment was performed at the BARC-TIFR…
The nucleus of uranium-235 ($^{235}$U) possesses an exceptionally low-energy isomeric state, $^{235m}$U. Unlike most radioactive nuclides, whose nuclear-decay half-lives are constant, the half-life of $^{235m}$U varies with its chemical…
In a search for potential signals of neutron (n) to mirror-neutron (n') oscillations, a collaboration centered at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) investigated the remaining parameter space claimed by anomalies with a dedicated…
We present the first measurement of the production of the $\phi$ meson in 30 GeV proton-nucleus interactions on carbon and copper targets via the di-electron decay channel. The measurement was conducted at the high-momentum beamline of the…
A fixed-target program at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) would broaden the facility's scientific reach by providing key measurements for studies of cold nuclear matter (CNM), the QCD phase diagram, and nuclear reactions relevant for space…
Energetic quarks and gluons traversing a hot and dense quark-gluon plasma deposit energy and momentum into the medium before hadronizing to collimated sprays of particles, known as jets. This energy-momentum deposition is expected to…
Using the ZeroDegree multi-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrograph of the CRISMASS project at RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory, we performed high-precision mass measurements of proton-rich nuclei near the doubly magic nucleus…
The latest experimental studies related to the search for the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$ TeV recorded with the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are presented.…
This article presents the first measurement of the (anti)deuteron and antiproton transverse-momentum distributions, the deuteron coalescence parameter, and the ratio between the yields of deuteron and proton in and out of jets in p-Pb…
Per-trigger yields of $\pi^0$-hadron correlations were measured in semicentral Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$ TeV in ALICE at the LHC. The reconstructed $\pi^0 \rightarrow \gamma \gamma$, with a transverse momentum of $11 <…
The Canadian subatomic physics community establishes its scientific, and thus funding, priorities through periodic Long-Range Plans (LRP). The community is now putting together a new LRP, which will be in effect from 2027 through 2034, with…
High-energy partons lose energy while propagating through the hot, strongly interacting medium produced in ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions, leading to a suppression of particle production at high transverse momentum…
Lifetimes for the ${4}_1^+$ and ${6}_1^+$ states have been directly measured using $\gamma-\gamma$ fast timing technique for low lying states of $^{130}Xe$, populated from $\beta ^-$ decay of the parent $^{130}I$ produced through…
Direct searches for dark matter in the form of WIMPs with argon-based detectors require precise measurements of the ionization yield \Qy\ for nuclear recoils at low energies. Prior to this work, direct experimental data were available only…
