A search for narrow vector resonances decaying into quark-antiquark pairs is presented. The analysis is based on data collected in proton-proton collisions at √{s}=13 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb-1. The hypothetical resonance is produced with sufficiently high transverse momentum that

Solar spectro-polarimetry is a powerful tool to investigate the physical processes occurring in the solar atmosphere. The different states of polarization and wavelengths have in fact encoded the information about the thermodynamic state of the solar plasma and the interacting magnetic field. In particular, the radiative transfer theory allows us

We discuss the evolution of the ratio in number of recombinations due to 2 s two photon escape and due to the escape of Lyman- α photons from the resonance during the epoch of cosmological recombination, within the width of the last scattering surface and near its boundaries. We discuss how this ratio evolves in time, and how it defines the profile

Aims: In the present study we investigate the nature of the magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor instability appearing at a tangential discontinuity in a partially ionised plasma when the effect of magnetic shear is taken into account. Methods: The partially ionised character of the plasma is described by the ambipolar diffusion in the induction equation. The

The pseudorapidity distributions of charged hadrons in proton-lead collisions at nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energies √{s_{NN}}=5.02 and 8.16 TeV are presented. The measurements are based on data samples collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The number of primary charged hadrons produced in non-single-diffractive proton-lead collisions is

The SPICA mid- and far-infrared telescope will address fundamental issues in our understanding of star formation and ISM physics in galaxies. A particular hallmark of SPICA is the outstanding sensitivity enabled by the cold telescope, optimised detectors, and wide instantaneous bandwidth throughout the mid- and far-infrared. The spectroscopic
