Simulations of muon imaging with the LANL GMT detector for spent nuclear fuel cask content verification Open
Atmospheric muons are typically high energy, highly penetrating charged particles. They interact with matter primarily through multiple Coulomb scatterings. Muon scattering intensities can be used to characterize the density and atomic num…

Novel application of neutrinos to evaluate U.S. nuclear weapons performance Open
There is a growing realization that neutrinos can be used as a diagnostic tool to better understand the inner workings of a nuclear weapon. Robust estimates demonstrate that an Inverse Beta Decay (IBD) neutrino scintillation detector built…

Multiplicity dependent and production at forward and backward rapidity in collisions at Open
Recent measurements of J/ψ production as a function of event charged-particle multiplicity at the collision energies of both the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) show enhanced J/ψ production yields…

Experimental study of multiple-orientation muon tomography with image optimization in sparse data environments Open
Due to the high penetrating power of cosmic-ray muons, they can be used to probe very thick and dense objects. As muons are charged particles, they can be tracked by ionization detectors, determining the position and direction of the muons…

Azimuthal anisotropy of direct photons in Au$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV Open
The PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider measured the second Fourier component $v_2$ of the direct-photon azimuthal anisotropy at midrapidity in Au$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV. The results are presente…

Cosmic ray radiography of a human phantom Open
Cosmic ray muons that reach the earth's surface provide a natural source of radiation that is used for radiography. In this paper, we show that radiography using the cosmic radiation background provides a method that can be used to monitor…

Exotic hadron production in <i>pp</i> and <i>p</i> Pb collisions at LHCb Open
In the last decade, hadron spectroscopy has unveiled a wealth of states that do not have the properties expected of particles composed of two or three valence quarks. Foremost among these is the X(3872), which is thought to contain a cc pa…

Measurements at forward rapidity of elliptic flow of charged hadrons and open-heavy-flavor muons in Au$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV Open
We present the first forward-rapidity measurements of elliptic anisotropy of open-heavy-flavor muons at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The measurements are based on data samples of Au$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV…

The LHCb Collaboration measures production of the exotic hadron Χc1(3872) in proton-nucleus collisions for the first time. Comparison with the charmonium state ψ(2S) suggests that the exotic Χc1(3872) experiences different dynamics in the …

A demonstrator for a real-time AI-FPGA-based triggering system for sPHENIX at RHIC Open
The RHIC interaction rate at sPHENIX will reach around 3 MHz in pp collisions and requires the detector readout to reject events by a factor of over 200 to fit the DAQ bandwidth of 15 kHz. Some critical measurements, such as heavy flavor p…
