Probing fluctuating protons using forward neutrons in soft and hard inelastic proton-nucleus scattering

M. Alvioli, V. Guzey, M. Strikman

We present a model for the distribution of the number of forward neutrons emitted in soft (minimum bias) and hard inelastic proton-nucleus () scattering at the LHC. It is based…

Slicing Pomerons in ultraperipheral collisions using forward neutrons from nuclear breakup

M. Alvioli, V. Guzey, M. Strikman

We argue that measurements of forward neutrons from nuclear breakup in inclusive high energy photon-nucleus () scattering provide a novel way to study small- dynamics of QCD…

Hunting for an EMC-like effect for antiquarks

Massimiliano Alvioli, Mark Strikman

We argue that the Drell-Yan process in the kinematics recently studied at FNAL by the E906/SeaQuest experiment may allow to observe an analogous of the EMC effect fo…

Rockfall susceptibility and network-ranked susceptibility along the Italian railway

Massimiliano Alvioli, Michele Santangelo, Federica Fiorucci +6

Rockfalls pose a substantial threat to ground transportation, due to their rapidity, destructive potential and high probability of occurrence on steep topographies, found along roa…

Influence of the neutron-skin effect on nuclear isobar collisions at RHIC

Jan Hammelmann, Alba Soto-Ontoso, Massimiliano Alvioli +2

The unambiguous observation of a Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME)-driven charge separation is the core aim of the isobar program at RHIC consisting of Zr+Zr…

Revealing minijet dynamics via centrality dependence of the double parton interactions in proton-nucleus interactions

Massimiliano Alvioli, Maxim Azarkin, Boris Blok +1

One of the main challenges hampering an accurate measurement of the double parton scattering (DPS) cross sections is the difficulty in separating the DPS from the leading twist (LT…

Spin-isospin correlated configurations in complex nuclei and neutron skin effect in W production in high-energy proton-lead collisions

Massimiliano Alvioli, Mark Strikman

We extend our Monte Carlo generator of global configurations in nuclei to include different spatial distributions of protons and neutrons in heavy nuclei taking into account the di…

Global analysis of color fluctuation effects in proton- and deuteron-nucleus collisions at RHIC and the LHC

Massimiliano Alvioli, Leonid Frankfurt, Dennis Perepelitsa +1

We test the hypothesis that configurations of a proton with a large- parton, , have a smaller than average size. The QCD evolution equations suggest that…

Universality of nucleon-nucleon short-range correlations: the factorization property of the nuclear wave function, the relative and center-of-mass momentum distributions, and the nuclear contacts

Massimiliano Alvioli, Claudio Ciofi degli Atti, Hiko Morita

The two-nucleon momentum distributions have been calculated for nuclei up to A=40 and various values of the relative and center-of-mass momenta and angle between them. For complex…

Mapping color fluctuations in the photon in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider

M. Alvioli, L. Frankfurt, V. Guzey +2

We model effects of color fluctuations (CFs) in the light-cone photon wave function and for the first time make predictions for the distribution over the number of wounded nucleons…

Evidence for x-dependent proton color fluctuations in pA collisions at the LHC

Massimiliano Alvioli, Brian Cole, Leonid Frankfurt +2

We argue that the pattern of the deviation from the Glauber approximation prediction for the centrality dependence of the rate of forward jet production observed in pA collisions a…

Revealing nucleon and nucleus flickering in pA collisions at the LHC

M. Alvioli, L. Frankfurt, V. Guzey +1

We analyze interactions at ultra-high energies within the semiclassical approximation for high energy processes accounting for the diffractive processes and a rapid increase w…

Universality of nucleon-nucleon short-range correlations and nucleon momentum distributions

Massimiliano Alvioli, Claudio Ciofi degli Atti, Leonid P. Kaptari +2

By analyzing recent microscopic many-body calculations of few-nucleon systems and complex nuclei performed by different groups in terms of realistic nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactio…

Scaling Properties of Rainfall-Induced Landslides Predicted by a Physically Based Model

M. Alvioli, F. Guzzetti, M. Rossi

Natural landslides exhibit scaling properties revealed by power law relationships. These relationships include the frequency of the size (e.g., area, volume) of the landslides, and…

Improving predictive power of physically based rainfall-induced shallow landslide models: a probabilistic approach

S. Raia, M. Alvioli, M. Rossi +3

Distributed models to forecast the spatial and temporal occurrence of rainfall-induced shallow landslides are based on deterministic laws. These models extend spatially the static…

Color fluctuation effects in proton-nucleus collisions

M. Alvioli, M. Strikman

Color fluctuations in hadron-hadron collisions are responsible for the presence of inelastic diffraction and lead to distinctive differences between the Gribov picture of high ener…
