Results are presented from the ATLAS collaboration from the 2010 LHC heavy ion run, during which nearly 10 inverse microbarns of luminosity were delivered. Soft physics results include final charged particle multiplicities and collective…
The physics of hadron-hadron collisions is very complex involving both perturbative and non-perturbative QCD. It is therefore imperative to study p-p collisions in as much detail as possible to provide a wide variety of data against which…
We argue that the observed antiproton production in heavy-ion collisions at CERN-SpS energies can be understood if (contrary to most sequential scattering approaches) the backward direction in the process $p\bar p \leftrightarrow…

The ALICE experiment at the LHC has collected wealthy data in proton-proton and lead-lead collisions. An overview of recent ALICE results is given in this paper. Hadron spectra measured in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=0.9$, 2.76 and 7 TeV are…
COMPASS is a fixed-target experiment at CERN SPS which investigates the structure and spectroscopy of hadrons. During nine weeks in 2008 and 2009, a 190 GeV/c proton beam impinging on a liquid hydrogen target was used in order to study the…
Current $\gamma$-ray telescopes suffer from a gap in sensitivity in the energy range between 100keV and 100MeV, and no polarisation measurement has ever been done on cosmic sources above 1MeV. Past and present e$^+$e$^-$ pair telescopes are…
