Vector meson photoproduction on the nucleus and the extraction of the nuclear suppression factor using asymmetric beams
Ronan McNulty, Wolfgang Schafer
The cross-section for photoproduction of a vector meson on a nucleus is usually determined in nucleus-nucleus collisions, which introduces a two-fold ambiguity as to which nucleus…
Inclusive quarkonium photoproduction selection and the effect of pileup at the LHC
Jean-Philippe Lansberg, Kate Lynch, Ronan McNulty +1
Measurements of inclusive quarkonium photoproduction provide strong constraints on the quarkonium production mechanism; however, this process has not yet been measured at the LHC.…
Fast silicon detectors as proton therapy beam monitors
A. Bellora, L. Grzanka, R. McNulty +7
Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs) are fast silicon sensors with potential for high-resolution proton beam monitoring. In this work, we investigated their response in a 60 MeV pr…
Evidence for CP violation in decays
LHCb collaboration, R. Aaij, B. Adeva +698
Three-body and decays are studied using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 collected by…
Physics with high-luminosity proton-nucleus collisions at the LHC
D. d'Enterria, C. A. Flett, I. Grabowska-Bold +29
The physics case for the operation of high-luminosity proton-nucleus () collisions during Run 3 and 4 at the LHC is reviewed. The collection of (1-10 pb) of…
Exploring Baryon Resonances with Transition Generalized Parton Distributions: Status and Perspectives
Stefan Diehl, Kyungseon Joo, Kirill Semenov-Tian-Shansky +21
QCD gives rise to a rich spectrum of excited baryon states. Understanding their internal structure is important for many areas of nuclear physics, such as nuclear forces, dense mat…
