A measurement of dielectron production in proton-proton (pp) collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV, recorded with the ALICE detector at the CERN LHC, is presented in this Letter. The data set was recorded with a reduced magnetic solenoid field.…
Studies of charm and beauty production in ep collisions with a center-of-mass energy of 318 GeV are reported from the two HERA collaborations, H1 and ZEUS. The analyses make use of both the HERA-I data sample recorded between 1996 and 2000…
A new technique is developed to identify dielectrons (e$^+$e$^-$) with Lorentz boost $\gamma_\mathrm{L}$ $\gt$ 20 that produce one single merged cluster in the electromagnetic calorimeter of the CMS detector. The identification uses two…

We report measurements of ten custom-made high-homogeneity LYSO crystals. The investigation is motivated by the need for a compact, high-resolution, and fast electromagnetic calorimeter for a new rare pion decay experiment. Each $2.5\times…
Proton-proton total cross sections are measured with present day high energy colliders up to 2 TeV in the centre-of-mass of the system (10^{15}) eV in the laboratory). Several parameterizations, very succesful at low energies, can then be…
