Evolution of the underlying event and non-extensive thermodynamics in pp collisions from RHIC to LHC energies
Suraj Prasad, Aditya Nath Mishra, Guy Paić +1
We investigate the geometrical and thermodynamical aspects of particle production in pp collisions over a broad center-of-mass energy, ranging from GeV to 13 TeV us…

Large-scale real-time signal processing in physics experiments: The ALICE TPC FPGA pipeline
J. Alme, T. Alt, C. Andrei +119
For LHC Run 3, the ALICE Time Projection Chamber was upgraded to operate in continuous readout mode. Interaction rates of up to 50 kHz in Pb-Pb collisions require real-time process…

Experiments at the CERN SPS: first signals of deconfinement
Federico Antinori, Marek Gazdzicki, Tapan K. Nayak +6
Heavy-ion experiments at the CERN SPS began in the mid-1980s to study nuclear matter at extreme temperatures and densities. The program started with light ions, such as oxygen and…
