We present high-statistic data on charged pion emission from Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 2.4 GeV (corresponding to $E_{beam}$ = 1.23 A GeV) in four centrality classes in the range 0 - 40$\%$ of the most central collisions.…

In ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, correlations of particles with opposite quantum numbers provide insight into quark production mechanisms and time scales, collective motion, and re-scattering in the hadronic phase. The…
In this paper, we study the balance functions for pions, kaons, and protons in Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} = 2.76$ TeV using the PYTHIA 8.3 + Angantyr model. The balance function is evaluated through two-particle azimuthal…

We discuss the thermal behaviour of the pion vector form factors and calculate them in one-loop Chiral Perturbation Theory. The perturbative result is used to analyze the $T$-dependent electromagnetic pion charge radius, obtaining a rough…
Asymmetric peaks in the pion-proton correlation functions were observed. Such an asymmetry indicates a displacement between the sources of the two particle species.
The subtle differences between positive and negative pion spectra can used be used to study the nature of the nuclear interaction region in heavy-ion collisions. Several large acceptance heavy ion experiments at facilities ranging from SIS,…
