The first measurement of prompt D+ meson spin alignment in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions with respect to the direction orthogonal to the reaction plane is presented. The spin alignment is quantified by measuring the element ρ00 of the diagonal spin-density matrix for prompt D+ mesons with 4<pT<30 GeV/c in two rapidity intervals, |y|<0.3 and 0.3<|y|<0.8, in central (0– 10%) and midcentral (30–50%) Pb–Pb collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV.

Multiplicity-dependent inclusive J/ψ production at forward rapidity in pp collisions at s=13 TeV / Acharya, Shreyasi (INFN, Bari) ; Agarwal, Apar (Calcutta, VECC) ; Aglieri Rinella, Gianluca (CERN) ; Aglietta, Luca (Turin U. ; INFN, Turin) ; Agnello, Michelangelo (Turin Polytechnic) ; Agrawal, Neelima (Bologna U. ; INFN, Bologna) ; Ahammed, Zubayer (Calcutta, VECC) ; Ahmad, Shakeel (Aligarh Muslim U.) ; Ahn, Sang Un (KISTI, Daejeon) ; Ahuja, Ishaan (Kosice U.) et al.
This paper presents a study of the inclusive forward J/ψ yield as a function of forward charged-particle multiplicity in pp collisions at s=13 TeV using data collected by the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC. The results are presented in terms of relative J/ψ yields and relative charged-particle multiplicities with respect to these quantities obtained in inelastic collisions having at least one charged particle in the pseudorapidity range |η|<1.

Correlations among conserved quantum numbers, such as the net-electric charge, the net-baryon, and the net-strangeness in heavy-ion collisions, are crucial for exploring the QCD phase diagram. In this letter, these correlations are investigated using net-proton number (as a proxy for the net-baryon), net-kaon number (for the net-strangeness), and net-charged particle number in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN = 5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector.

Evidence for J/ψ suppression in incoherent photonuclear production / Acharya, Shreyasi (INFN, Bari) ; Agarwal, Apar (Calcutta, VECC) ; Aglieri Rinella, Gianluca (CERN) ; Aglietta, Luca (Turin U. ; INFN, Turin) ; Agnello, Michelangelo (Turin Polytechnic) ; Agrawal, Neelima (Bologna U. ; INFN, Bologna) ; Ahammed, Zubayer (Calcutta, VECC) ; Ahmad, Shakeel (Aligarh Muslim U.) ; Ahn, Sang Un (KISTI, Daejeon) ; Ahuja, Ishaan (Kosice U.) et al.
According to quantum chromodynamics, at sufficiently high energy, the structure of hadrons reveals a dynamic equilibrium between gluon splitting and gluon recombination—a phenomenon known as saturation. The process of diffractive photonuclear production of a J/ψ vector meson provides a direct insight into the gluon composition of hadrons. [...]

We present the measurement of the pT-differential production cross section of ω mesons in pp and p-Pb collisions at sNN = 5.02 TeV at midrapidity by ALICE. In addition, the first measurement of the nuclear modification factor RpPb for ω mesons at LHC energies is presented, complementing the existing measurements of lighter neutral mesons such as the π0 and η.
