    We report measurements of the inclusive J/ψ yield and average transverse momentum as a function of charged-particle pseudorapidity density dNch/dη in p–Pb collisions at sNN=5.02TeV with ALICE at the LHC. The observables are normalised to their corresponding averages in non-single diffractive events. An increase of the normalised J/ψ yield with normalised dNch/dη, measured at mid-rapidity, is observed at mid-rapidity and backward rapidity. At forward rapidity, a saturation of the relative yield is observed for high charged-particle multiplicities. The normalised average transverse momentum at forward and backward rapidities increases with multiplicity at low multiplicities and saturates beyond moderate multiplicities. In addition, the forward-to-backward nuclear modification factor ratio is also reported, showing an increasing suppression of J/ψ production at forward rapidity with respect to backward rapidity for increasing charged-particle multiplicity

    Modeling of the Compression Process for Refrigerants R134a and R1234yf of a Variable Speed Reciprocating Compressor

    No full text
    This paper presents a robust computational model to predict the behavior of a variable speed reciprocating compressor, incorporating infinitesimal displacements to calculate state by state according to the piston movement. The philosophy of the model is to consider eight sub internal processes: heat transfer on the suction and discharge internal lines, pressure drop across the suction and discharge valves, expansion, suction, compression and discharge. The input variables are: pressure and temperature on the suction (before starting the compression process), discharge pressure (after the compression process completed) and rotation speed, with this the model is able to compute the output parameters like: mass flow rate, power consumption and discharge temperature. With the development of the model, the behaviors of R1234yf and R134a are analyzed. Then the model is validated with experimental data using these both refrigerants, concluding that the model predict with an error of ±10% for the mass flow rate and power consumption, and with an error of ±1 K for the discharge temperature. In the validation, differences in energy behavior for the two refrigerants are discussed; the compressor with R1234yf as working fluid increases its power consumption and delivers greater mass flow rate with low temperature compared when the working fluid on the compressor is R134a

D0^0, D+^+ and D+^{*+} mesons are reconstructed via their hadronic decay channels in the centre-of-mass rapidity range 0.96<ycms<0.04-0.96< y_{\mathrm{cms}}<0.04 and transverse momentum interval 1<pT<241<p_{\rm T}<24 GeV/cc. The multiplicity dependence of D-meson production is examined by either comparing yields in p-Pb collisions in different event classes, selected based on the multiplicity of produced particles or zero-degree energy, with those in pp collisions, scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions (nuclear modification factor); as well as by evaluating the per-event yields in p-Pb collisions in different multiplicity intervals normalised to the multiplicity-integrated ones (relative yields). The nuclear modification factors for D0^0, D+^+ and D+^{*+} are consistent with one another. The D-meson nuclear modification factors as a function of the zero-degree energy are consistent with unity within uncertainties in the measured pTp_{\rm T} regions and event classes. The relative D-meson yields, calculated in various pTp_{\rm T} intervals, increase as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity. The results are compared with the equivalent pp measurements at s=7\sqrt{s}=7 TeV as well as with EPOS~3 calculations

    Multiplicity dependence of the average transverse momentum in pp, p-Pb, and Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC

    No full text
    The average transverse momentum 〈pT〉 versus the charged-particle multiplicity Nch was measured in p-Pb collisions at a collision energy per nucleon-nucleon pair sNN=5.02TeV and in pp collisions at collision energies of s=0.9,2.76, and 7TeV in the kinematic range 0.15&amp;lt;pT&amp;lt;10.0GeV/c and |η|&amp;lt;0.3 with the ALICE apparatus at the LHC. These data are compared to results in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=2.76TeV at similar charged-particle multiplicities. In pp and p-Pb collisions, a strong increase of 〈pT〉 with Nch is observed, which is much stronger than that measured in Pb-Pb collisions. For pp collisions, this could be attributed, within a model of hadronizing strings, to multiple-parton interactions and to a final-state color reconnection mechanism. The data in p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions cannot be described by an incoherent superposition of nucleon-nucleon collisions and pose a challenge to most of the event generators. © 2013 CERN

    Multi-strange baryon production in p-Pb collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV

    No full text
    The multi-strange baryon yields in Pb-Pb collisions have been shown to exhibit an enhancement relative to pp reactions. In this work, Ξ and Ω production rates have been measured with the ALICE experiment as a function of transverse momentum, pT, in p-Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sNN=5.02 TeV. The results cover the kinematic ranges 0.6 GeV/c&amp;lt;pT&amp;lt;7.2 GeV/c and 0.8 GeV/c&amp;lt;pT&amp;lt;5 GeV/c, for Ξ and Ω respectively, in the common rapidity interval −0.5&amp;lt;yCMS&amp;lt;0. Multi-strange baryons have been identified by reconstructing their weak decays into charged particles. The pT spectra are analysed as a function of event charged-particle multiplicity, which in p-Pb collisions ranges over one order of magnitude and lies between those observed in pp and Pb-Pb collisions. The measured pT distributions are compared to the expectations from a Blast-Wave model. The parameters which describe the production of lighter hadron species also describe the hyperon spectra in high multiplicity p-Pb collisions. The yield of hyperons relative to charged pions is studied and compared with results from pp and Pb-Pb collisions. A continuous increase in the yield ratios as a function of multiplicity is observed in p-Pb data, the values of which range from those measured in minimum bias pp to the ones in Pb-Pb collisions. A statistical model qualitatively describes this multiplicity dependence using a canonical suppression mechanism, in which the small volume causes a relative reduction of hadron production dependent on the strangeness content of the hyperon. © 2016 The Author(s
