Highlights from the PHENIX Collaboration

PHENIX presented several new results at Quark Matter 2019 in 7 parallel talks and 7 posters. These proceedings highlight a sampling of the measurements presented during the conference. PHENIX results on flow in small systems, published in Nature Physics, indicate that the flow in small systems is driven by the initial state geometry. Additional measurements exploring QGP effects in small systems have also been explored. Two-particle correlations in d+Au and 3He+Au suggest potential modification compared to those in p+p collisions. PHENIX has also measured J/Ψ in the forward and backward rapidity regions in d+Au and 3He+Au collisions. Thermal photon measurements are also consistent with QGP formation in small systems. A new measurement of thermal photons using the Au+Au data set collected by PHENIX in 2014 verifies the scaling relationship previously observed for thermal photons. New results for a variety of hadron species with increasing precsion are now available and provide both insight into hadronization as well as crucial information for energy loss models that use RAA to tune their parameters. Jet modification is also studied via a new observable extracted from π0-hadron correlations in Au+Au collisions.

The Use of Collaboration Distance in Scheduling Conference Talks

Several bibliographic databases offer a free tool that enables one to determine the collaboration distance or co-authorship distance between researchers. This paper addresses a real-life application of the collaboration distance. It concerns somewhat unusual clustering; namely clustering in which the the average distances in each cluster need to be maximised. We briefly consider a pair of clusterings in which two cluster partitions are uniform and orthogonal in the sense that in each partition all clusters are of the same size and that no pair of elements belongs to the same cluster in both partitions. We consider different objective functions when calculating the score of the pair of orthogonal partitions. The one used on the Wiener index (a graph invariant, known in chemical graph theory) is used. The main application of our work is an algorithm for scheduling a series of parallel talks in a major conference.

Overview of results from the PHENIX Collaboration

At the Quark Matter 2018 conference, the PHENIX Collaboration gave 10 parallel talks and 19 posters on a wide variety of topics in small and large systems. In these proceedings we discuss a few key results shown at the conference.

Highlights from the ATLAS experiment

This report provides an overview of the new results obtained by the ATLAS Collaboration at the LHC, which were presented at the Quark Matter 2018 conference. These measurements were covered in 12 parallel talks, one flash talk and 11 posters. In this document, a discussion of results is grouped into four areas: electromagnetic interactions, jet quenching, quarkonia and heavy-flavour production, and collectivity in small and larger systems. Measurements from the xenon-xenon collisions based on a short run collected in October 2017 are reported for the first time.

Heavy Ion Results from ATLAS

These proceedings provide an overview of the new results obtained with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, which were presented in the Quark Matter 2017 conference. These results were covered by twelve parallel talks, one flash talk and eleven posters. These proceedings group these results into five areas: initial state, jet quenching, quarkonium production, longitudinal flow dynamics, and collectivity in small systems.

Overview of recent ALICE results

The ALICE experiment explores the properties of strongly interacting QCD matter at extremely high temperatures created in Pb-Pb collisions at LHC and provides further insight into small-system physics in (high-multiplicity) pp and p-Pb collisions. The ALICE collaboration presented 27 parallel talks, 50 posters, and 1 flash talk at Quark Matter 2015 and covered various topics including collective dynamics, correlations and fluctuations, heavy flavors, quarkonia, jets and high pT hadrons, electromagnetic probes, small system physics, and the upgrade program. This paper highlights some of the selected results.

XIV International Conference on Topics in Astroparticle and Underground Physics (TAUP 2015)

PrefaceThe 14th edition of the International Conference on Topics in Astroparticle and Underground Physics (TAUP 2015) was held 7–11 September 2015 in Torino, Italy. It was organized and sponsored by: University of Torino, Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF), Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI), Accademia delle Scienze di Torino, Consorzio Interuniversitario di Fisica Spaziale (CIFS), and it was held under the auspices of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP). The conference venue was the Congress Center of Unione Industriale di Torino.The meeting attracted 490 participants from 38 countries (327 participants came from outside the host country), the largest participation ever. The topics covered by the conference were Cosmology, Dark Matter, Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics, Gravitational Waves and High-Energy Astrophysics and Cosmic Rays, including the various interfaces between these areas. The scientific sessions consisted of five mornings of plenary talks, four afternoons with 6 parallel sessions each day, and an evening poster session. The program was complemented by a parallel session on Outreach and Education, two public events dedicated to general audience and a one-day course for physics students on science communication. Overall, 32 plenary talks, 284 parallel talks and 55 posters were presented.We wish to congratulate Prof. Takaaki Kajita and Prof. Arthur McDonald for the award of the Nobel Prize in Physics 2015 “for their key contributions to the experiments which demonstrated that neutrinos change identities. This metamorphosis requires that neutrinos have mass. The discovery has changed our understanding of the innermost workings of matter and can prove crucial to our view of the universe.” Prof. Kajita is member of the Steering Committee of the TAUP Conference Series and Prof. McDonald has been member of the International Advisory Committee of many TAUP Conferences, including the TAUP 2015 edition. It has been a pleasure to meet them in Torino and to have them chairing the Gravitational Wave and Neutrino Physics Session on the last day of the Conference.We thank all speakers, conveners and participants as well as the members of the Organizing, Steering and International Advisory Committees for making this a very successful and memorable meeting.Nicolao Fornengo, Marco Regis, Hannes-S.

The Multilateral Context of the Project of China-Japan-Republic of Korea Trilateral Free Trade Agreement

The China–Japan–Republic of Korea trilateral free trade agreement may become a critical pillar of Asian regionalism, determining future trade and political regime in the global scale. Undoubtedly, this trilateral political dialogue is to be accompanied by parallel talks over competitive, trans-regional projects involving Asia–Pacific partners, with special regard to the Transpacific Partnership (TPP) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). However, given the common challenges of the three analysed countries, in particular the unfavourable demographics, reindustrialization, and inefficient domestic demand, it should be noted that the said trilateral dialogue is facing very serious obstacles resulting from, among others, their historical ballast and territorial claims, as well as the intra-regional competition for leadership between Beijing and Tokyo. The aim of the article is to study both multilateral determinants and implications of the future China–Japan–Republic of Korea FTA.

Integrating High and Low Politics: Lessons from the Israeli-Jordanian Water Regime'

ABSTRACT So far, debate over resolution of water disputes in protracted conflict settings tended to emphasize either the “functionalist” argument that cooperation in technical matters might serve as a vehicle/or achieving peace, or the “realist” rationale according to which cooperation in water utilization only succeeds after resolution of political conflict. The empirical example treated is the Jordan River Basin, with on emphasis on the bilateral relations between Israel and the Kingdom of Jordan. By depicting the complementary role of bilateral political negotiations and multilateral talks on technical matters in the Arab-Israeli peace process the article argues that the two approaches do not necessarily exclude each other but should rather be integrated. The author argues that, while substantial cooperation in such a sensitive field as water requires the previous settlement of visceral political concerns, parallel talks on technical aspects of water management proved to be a helpful complement to the traditional diplomatic approach. In the Israeli-Jordanian case they both eased compromises over the issue of water distribution and improved the psychopolitical setting for resolution of the larger political struggle. Adapted to local conditions, this formula may become a model of procedure for resolution of riparian disputes within protracted conflict settings in other parts of the world.
