Abstract:

In this talk, we examine the connection between the integrated Polyakov anomaly and the bulk renormalized volume with the recently proposed generalized Liouville action, as discussed in arXiv:2310.17536 [hep-th], on orbifold Riemann surfaces.

Abstract:

The proton-radius puzzle refers to the discrepancy observed in measurements of the proton's charge radius when using different methods. This inconsistency has prompted extensive research and debate within the physics community, as it challenges the understanding of quantum electrodynamics and the fundamental properties of protons. In the present study, we determine the charge and magnetic radii of the proton and neutron through a global analysis of the generalized parton distributions (GPDs) at zero skewness for the first time. Our results challenge the measurements or analyses in which the nucleon's radii are extracted considering just a particular experiment or observable, or using only data points covering particular kinematic regions. We emphasize that simultaneous analysis of all available experimental data related to the radii of the nucleons would be preferable to determine their exact values.
The final results obtained from our analysis by this way are: rpE=0.8558±0.0135 fm, rpM=0.8268±0.0533 fm, =−0.1181±0.0270 fm2, and rnM=0.8367±0.0845 fm.

Abstract:

In the CMS Phase-2 Upgrade of the RPC Link System, the legacy electronics will be replaced with advanced systems designed to enhance data acquisition from RPC detectors. This upgrade will improve the timing resolution for data taking from 25 ns to an impressive 1.5 ns. However, with the anticipated significant increase in luminosity during the next run in 2028, the interactions of high-energy particles with the link system's electronics are expected to rise dramatically. This surge in luminosity will result in more collisions and, consequently, a substantial increase in the volume of generated data. To address these challenges, both new hardware and effective strategies to mitigate the impact of these collisions—particularly in FPGAs, which serve as the core processing units—are essential. In this presentation, we will introduce the new data acquisition system within the CMS project and provide an overview of key components of the firmware implemented in the FPGA to achieve these objectives.

Abstract:

The main purpose of heavy-ion collision (HIC) is to create a liberated state of quark and gluon to study the macroscopic state of QCD matter. This includes the transport coefficient of the produced plasma as well as mapping the configuration of QCD degrees of freedom in various phases. To achieve this goal, it is crucial to model different stages after the collision, from the formation of the initial state to the final state and hadronization at freeze-out. In this context, the nuclear structure plays an important role in determining the initial conditions of the collision. Understanding the spatial distribution of nucleons and the correlations between them provides essential input to the evolution of the quark-gluon plasma. Particularly, features such as the nuclear deformation, fluctuations in the initial geometry, and two-body correlations influence the final observables, such as collective flow.
In this talk, I will explain, in an ultra-central symmetric collisions and for the particular case of large nuclei, after using certain scale invariance in the process of entropy production, we are able to study the initial state of heavy-ion collision in a model-independent way. This approach enables us to study nuclear structure and extract key information about nuclear geometry, two-body correlation, fluctuations, skin thickness, and etc.

Abstract:

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to detect and analyze high-energy proton-proton collisions. The CMS detector is one of the largest and most complex particle detectors ever constructed, composed of multiple subsystems that work together to identify and measure the properties of particles produced in collisions. The data-taking process in CMS involves several key components, including the Data Acquisition (DAQ) system, trigger system, Data Quality Monitoring (DQM), Detector Control System (DCS), and the Tier-0 computing center. Additionally, the experiment employs advanced data formats and utilizes Monte Carlo simulations to calibrate the detector and compare theoretical predictions with real data. This paper provides a detailed overview of the CMS detector structure and the entire data-taking process, including forward detectors like CTPPS and TOTEM, which enhance CMS's ability to study rare forward proton interactions and diffractive physics. This review also integrates recent updates, including Phase-2 upgrades to the DAQ system for Run 3.
