To know overcome of the difficulties of speed reading. Theoretically, is regarding to the reading area, especially in the reading comprehension by using speed reading technique. Practically, the researcher will analyze of speed reading in one of Senior High School at Majalengka which has benefit for teacher to know students’ ability in school. The research finding and discussion told about the teaching and learning process of speed reading at intermediate level. There are three activities of speed reading techniques. (1) Preparation Activity: teacher begins with greetings, deliver material and prepare students by warming up to focuss in learning process. (2) Core Activity: teacher teaches all the materials of speed reading. (3) Follow-up Activity: teacher gives exercise as the activity to know students score of speed reading test. The result of the analysis shows there are 5 students’ attitude towards teaching and learning speed reading. then, the finding shows that (1). Students’ feeling towards teaching and learning using speed reading in general: students like speed reading then also comfortable. (2). Students’ feeling towards the process of teaching and learning speed reading: they get comprehension of this technique. (3). Students’ difficulties in learning using speed reading: there are unfamiliar word on athe text. (4). Students’ feeling towards their comprehension in learning using speed reading: they get purpose in speed reading learning. (5). Students’ motivation in learning using speed reading: they can read books in fast time. It was found the overcome of difficulties of speed reading technique they are the process of the teaching speed reading and response the students’ response towards it, difficulties, disadvantages and teaching using speed reading technique and the result, usefulness, critics, and suggestions of teaching using speed reading technique. From the research that has been done, it can be concluded that there is way to apply speed reading by using steps of speed reading. From this technique will increase students’ ability in reading process. It can help students to read fast and efficient time. Keywords: Reading Comprehension, Speed Reading, Intermediate Leve

Charged-particle multiplicity distributions over a wide pseudorapidity range in proton-proton collisions at √s = 0.9, 7, and 8 TeV

We present the charged-particle multiplicity distributions over a wide pseudorapidity range (−3.4<η<5.0 ) for pp collisions at √s=0.9,7 , and 8 TeV at the LHC. Results are based on information from the Silicon Pixel Detector and the Forward Multiplicity Detector of ALICE, extending the pseudorapidity coverage of the earlier publications and the high-multiplicity reach. The measurements are compared to results from the CMS experiment and to PYTHIA, PHOJET and EPOS LHC event generators, as well as IP-Glasma calculations.publishedVersio

The new Inner Tracking System of the ALICE experiment

The ALICE experiment will undergo a major upgrade during the next LHC Long Shutdown scheduled in 2019&ndash;20 that will enable a detailed study of the properties of the QGP, exploiting the increased Pb-Pb luminosity expected during Run 3 and Run 4. The replacement of the existing Inner Tracking System with a completely new ultra-light, high-resolution detector is one of the cornerstones within this upgrade program. The main motivation of the ITS upgrade is to provide ALICE with an improved tracking capability and impact parameter resolution at very low transverse momentum, as well as to enable a substantial increase of the readout rate. The new ITS will consist of seven layers of innovative Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors with the innermost layer sitting at only 23 mm from the interaction point. This talk will focus on the design and the physics performance of the new ITS, as well as the technology choices adopted. The status of the project and the results from the prototypes characterization will also be presented.publishedVersio

Neutral meson production and correlation with charged hadrons in pp and Pb-Pb collisions with the ALICE experiment at the LHC

Among the probes used to investigate the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma, the measurement of the energy loss of high-energy partons can be used to put constraints on energy-loss models and to ultimately access medium characteristics, such as the energy density or the temperature. The study of two-particle correlations allows us to obtain very different constraints compared to the nuclear modification factor. In particular, the correlation of charged hadrons with high energy $\pi^{0}$ or direct photons is believed to give a measurement of the parton energy loss and insights into the medium-induced modification of the fragmentation process. High energy neutral pions are reconstructed using the ALICE electromagnetic calorimeters EMCal and PHOS, and the charged particles are detected by the main tracking detectors ITS and TPC. In these proceedings, the measurement of neutral mesons at \sqrt{s} = \(2.76 TeV in pp collisions are presented, as well as the measurements of azimuthal \(\pi^{0}.hadron correlations in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}} = 2.76$ TeV, and the extracted per-trigger yield modification factor $I_{AA}$ . Comparisons with theoretical model calculations are also added.publishedVersio

ALICE measurement of the J/ψJ/\psi nuclear modification factor at mid-rapidity in Pb–Pb collisions at sNN=\sqrt{{s}_{NN}}= 5.02 TeV

ALICE at the LHC provides unique capabilities to study charmonium production at low transverse momenta ( p T ). At central rapidity, ( |y|<0.8 ), ALICE can reconstruct J/ ψ via their decay into two electrons down to zero p T . Results at mid-rapidity on the inclusive J/ ψ nuclear modification factor RAA as a function of centrality in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV and comparisons to lower energies and models are shown. In addition, the yield of the J/ ψ produced with very low p T in the most peripheral collisions and the J/ ψ elliptic flow ( v2 ) are also presented

Investigating the role of coherence effects on jet quenching in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV using jet substructure

We report measurements of two jet shapes, the ratio of 2-Subjettiness to 1-Subjettiness (τ2/τ1) and the opening angle between the two axes of the 2-Subjettiness jet shape, which is obtained by reclustering the jet with the exclusive-kT algorithm [1] and undoing the final clustering step. The aim of this measurement is to explore a possible change in the rate of 2-pronged objects in Pb-Pb compared to pp due to colour coherence. Coherence effects [2] relate to the ability of the medium to resolve a jet’s substructure, which has an impact on the energy loss magnitude and mechanism of the traversing jet. In both collision systems charged jets are found with the anti-kT algorithm [3], a resolution parameter of R =0.4 and a constituent cut off of 0.15 GeV. This analysis uses hadron-jet coincidence techniques in Pb-Pb collisions to reject the combinatorial background and corrects further for background effects by employing various jet shape subtraction techniques and two dimensional unfolding. Measurements of the Nsubjettiness for jet momenta of 40 – 60 GeV/c in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV and pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV will be presented and compared to PYTHIA simulations

D-meson nuclear modification factor and elliptic flow measurements in Pb–Pb collisions at sNN\sqrt {s_{NN}} = 5.02TeV with ALICE at the LHC

ALICE measured the nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$ and elliptic flow $\nu_{2}$ of D mesons $D^{0}$. $D^{+}$. $D^{⁎+}$ and $D^{s+}$ in semi-central Pb–Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} =5.02$ TeV. The increased amount of data in semi-central Pb–Pb events obtained with the LHC Run 2 provides access to more precise measurements for the $R_{AA}$ and the non-strange D-meson $\nu_{2}$ with respect to Run 1 results, as well as to the first measurement of the $D_{s}$ -meson $\nu_{2}$ at LHC energies. The first application of the Event Shape Engineering technique in the analysis of the $\nu_{2}$ coefficient of $D^{0}$ and $D^{+}$ mesons is also illustrated
