20. Exploring the quark-gluon plasma with ALICE

Measurements of two- and multi-particle azimuthal correlations provide valuable information on the properties of the system created in collisions of hadrons and nuclei at high energy. In this talk, the ALICE results for inclusive and identified particle azimuthal correlations are reported in different collision systems after a brief introduction of the concepts of a heavy-ion collision.

19. Double-beta decay: a window to physics beyond the SM

Double beta decay (DBD) is a currently hot research topic as it can offer a wide range of physics investigations beyond the Standard Model (BSM). These refer to fundamental neutrino properties, yet unknown (neutrino nature – is it a Dirac or a Majorana particle, the neutrino absolute mass and mass hierarchy, number of neutrino flavors, etc.), conservation of the lepton number and validity of...

12. Ultra high energy cosmic rays induced air showers: from nuclear interactions of particles in the air to detection techniques on the ground

Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are the most energetic, rare and mysterious particles in the Universe. Although they are known to be of extragalactic origin, their actual sources remain a subject of debate yet. Modern large-scale experiments are indirectly observing them on the ground, and are further expanded to increase data statistics with improved mass-sensitive measurements of...
