Recent results on strangeness enhancement in small collision systems with ALICE / Pucillo, Sara (Turin U.)
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) predicts that, at sufficiently high temperature and energy density, nuclear matter undergoes a phase transition from confined hadrons to a deconfined state of quarks and gluons known as the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). [...]

Long-range transverse momentum correlations and radial flow in Pb–Pb collisions at the LHC / ALICE Collaboration, CERN /ALICE
This Letter presents measurements of long-range transverse-momentum correlations using a new observable, v0(pT)v0(pT), which serves as a probe of radial flow and medium properties in heavy-ion collisions. Results are reported for inclusive charged particles, pions, kaons, and protons across various centrality intervals in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=5.02sNN=5.02 TeV, recorded by the ALICE detector. [...]

D00-meson-tagged jet axes difference in proton-proton collisions at s=5.02s=5.02 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.
Heavy-flavor quarks produced in proton–proton (pp) collisions provide a unique opportunity to investigate the evolution of quark-initiated parton showers from initial hard scatterings to final-state hadrons. By examining jets that contain heavy-flavor hadrons, this study explores the effects of both perturbative and non-perturbative QCD on jet formation and structure. [...]

Energy–energy correlators in charm-tagged jets in proton–proton collisions at s=13s=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. /ALICE
In this letter, we present the first measurement of the energy–energy correlator (EEC) in charm-tagged jets from proton–proton (pp) collisions at s=13s=13 TeV. EECs probe the structure of QCD radiation, providing a unique test of mass-dependent effects in parton showers involving a charm quark and offering a distinct view into non-perturbative phenomena, including the hadronization process [...]

Revealing the microscopic mechanism of deuteron formation at the LHC / 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. /ALICE
The formation of light (anti)nuclei with mass number A of few units (e.g., d, 33He, and 44He) in high-energy hadronic collisions presents a longstanding mystery in nuclear physics [1, 2]. It is not clear how nuclei bound by a few MeV can emerge in environments characterized by temperatures above 100 MeV [3–5], about 100,000 times hotter than the center of the Sun [...]

First observation of ultra-long-range azimuthal correlations in low multiplicity pp and p–Pb collisions at the LHC / 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. /ALICE
This study presents the first observation of ultra-long-range two-particle azimuthal correlations with pseudorapidity separation of |Δη|>5.0|Δη|>5.0 in proton–proton (pp) andf |Δη|>6.5|Δη|>6.5 in proton–lead (p–Pb) collisions at the LHC, down to and below the minimum-bias multiplicity. Two-particle correlation coefficients (V2ΔV2Δ) are measured after removing non-flow (jets and resonance decays) contributions using the template-fit method across various multiplicity classes, providing novel insights into the origin of long-range correlations in small systems [...]

Accessing the deuteron source with pion–deuteron femtoscopy in Pb–Pb collisions at sNN=5.02sNN=5.02 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.
Femtoscopy of non-identical particle pairs has been instrumental for precision measurements of both two-particle sources and the final-state interactions in high-energy elementary and heavy-ion collisions. The majority of measurements assessing the source properties are based on identical particle pairs, providing direct access to the characteristics of the single-particle source. [...]

Centrality dependence of charged-particle pseudorapidity density at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=5.36sNN=5.36 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.
The ALICE Collaboration reports its first LHC Run 3 measurements of charged-particle pseudorapidity density at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sNN=5.36sNN=5.36 TeV. Particle multiplicity in high-energy collisions characterises the system geometry, constrains particle-production mechanisms, and is used to estimate initial energy density. [...]
