Exploring the nature of the proposed magic number N = 32
Magic numbers appear in nuclei in which protons or neutrons completely fill a shell. The existence of magic numbers to explain certain regularities observed in nuclei was discovered in 1949 independen...

Jet ν2 measurements with ALICE
High-energy scattering of partons (quarks and gluons) produces collimated cones of particles called jets, the production rate of which can be calculated using perturbative QCD techniques. In heavy-ion...

Fixed-target and heavy-ion physics with LHCb
Beyond its rich programme in flavour physics based on proton–proton collisions, LHCb opened the door in 2015 to a new domain of physics exploration related to cosmic-ray and heavy-ion physics. D...

A new chapter opens with more Pb–Pb collisions for a precision study of hot and dense QCD matter
After the restart of the LHC physics programme in June 2015 with world-record proton– proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV, nuclear beams reappeared in the LHC tunnel in Novembe...

LHCb measures the effective double parton scattering cross-section with unprecedented precision
In high-energy hadron–hadron collisions, each incoming hadron behaves as a loosely bound system of massless partons – quarks, antiquarks and gluons. The interaction of incoming hadrons is describe...

ATLAS observes long-range elliptic anisotropies in √s = 13 and 2.76 TeV pp collisions
Measurements of two-particle angular correlations in proton–proton (pp) collisions at the LHC have shown a feature commonly called the “ridge”: an enhancement in production of particle p...

CMS observes long-range correlations in pp collisions at 13 TeV
The CMS collaboration has published its first particle-correlation result from proton–proton (pp) collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The paper describes the observation of a phenomeno...
