Bridging the gap between cutting-edge science and school: non-formal education in high-energy physics
Boris Tomasik, Julia Kekelakova, Ivan Melo +1
We report mainly on the global flagship outreach activity in particle physics: the International Particle Physics Masterclasses. It is illustrated on the example of Slovakia and th…
Higgs potential and fundamental physics
Ivan Melo
Physics associated with the Higgs field potential is rich and interesting and deserves a concise summary for a broader audience to appreciate the beauty and the challenges of this…
Kinetic freeze-out in central heavy-ion collisions between 7.7 and 2760 GeV per nucleon pair
Ivan Melo, Boris Tomasik
We fit the single-particle spectra of identified pions, kaons, and (anti)protons from central collisions of gold or lead nuclei at energies between 7.7 and 2760~GeV per nucle…
Benchmark values for the net proton number fluctuations
Boris Tomasik, Ivan Melo, Lukas Laffers +1
We formulate a baseline model for the net-proton number fluctuations in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. Our model includes total baryon number conservation, fluctuations of…
Bringing particle physics into classrooms
Ken Cecire, Ivan Melo, Boris Tomášik
Exciting scientific results such as the discovery of the Higgs boson offer a great opportunity to engage young people in particle physics. International Particle Physics Masterclas…
Generation of random deviates for relativistic quantum-statistical distributions
Boris Tomášik, Ivan Melo, Jakub Cimerman
We provide an algorithm for generation of momenta (or energies) of relativistic particles according to the relativistic Bose-Einstein or Fermi-Dirac distributions. The algorithm us…
