O Memorial de Imigração Polonesa em Curitiba: dinâmicas culturais e interesses políticos no âmbito memoralista

Neste artigo, analisa-se o conceito de memorial, considerando as atuais definições de Museu propostas pelo Conselho Internacional de Museus e pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Museus, tendo como objeto de investigação o Memorial de Imigração Polonesa de Curitiba. Evidenciam-se a importância e a complexidade no trato com o patrimônio e as dificuldades de pensá-lo a partir dos sujeitos e das referências culturais de determinado grupo em contraponto aos interesses políticos e econômicos; no caso em questão, voltadas às necessidades da política de city marketing como estratégia de construção da imagem da cidade. Para tanto, foram considerados os perfis de atuação dos memoriais em diferentes partes do mundo, na tentativa de delimitação conceitual, exemplificando-se a pluralidade de temas e formatos dessas instituições no âmbito nacional e global. As discussões levantadas permitem pensar que os Museus Memoriais desempenham as atividades de um memorial no âmbito museológico, confirmando a ambivalência dessas duas instituições e sua interface privilegiada com o poder político.This article analyzes the memorial concept, considering the Museum definition presented by the International Council of Museums and the Brazilian Institute of Museums. The aim of this study was the Curitiba Polish Immigration Memorial. It highlights the importance and complexity in dealing with the heritage and the difficulties of thinking it from the individuals and the cultural references of certain groups as opposed to political and economic interests; in this case the needs of the city marketing policy as city image building strategy. Therefore, the memorials performance profiles in different parts of the world in an attempt to conceptual definition, exemplifying the diversity of themes and formats of these institutions at the national and global levels. The discussions show that it is possible to consider that the Memorials Museums perform the same activities of a memorial within the museological context, confirming the ambivalence of these two institutions and prime interface with political power

Production of He-4 and (4) in Pb-Pb collisions at root(NN)-N-S=2.76 TeV at the LHC

Results on the production of He-4 and (4) nuclei in Pb-Pb collisions at root(NN)-N-S = 2.76 TeV in the rapidity range vertical bar y vertical bar <1, using the ALICE detector, are presented in this paper. The rapidity densities corresponding to 0-10% central events are found to be dN/dy4(He) = (0.8 +/- 0.4 (stat) +/- 0.3 (syst)) x 10(-6) and dN/dy4 = (1.1 +/- 0.4 (stat) +/- 0.2 (syst)) x 10(-6), respectively. This is in agreement with the statistical thermal model expectation assuming the same chemical freeze-out temperature (T-chem = 156 MeV) as for light hadrons. The measured ratio of (4)/He-4 is 1.4 +/- 0.8 (stat) +/- 0.5 (syst). (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier B.V.Peer reviewe

Multiplicity dependence of light (anti-)nuclei production in p–Pb collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV

The measurement of the deuteron and anti-deuteron production in the rapidity range −1 < y < 0 as a function of transverse momentum and event multiplicity in p–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV is presented. (Anti-)deuterons are identified via their specific energy loss dE/dx and via their time-of- flight. Their production in p–Pb collisions is compared to pp and Pb–Pb collisions and is discussed within the context of thermal and coalescence models. The ratio of integrated yields of deuterons to protons (d/p) shows a significant increase as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity of the event starting from values similar to those observed in pp collisions at low multiplicities and approaching those observed in Pb–Pb collisions at high multiplicities. The mean transverse particle momenta are extracted from the deuteron spectra and the values are similar to those obtained for p and particles. Thus, deuteron spectra do not follow mass ordering. This behaviour is in contrast to the trend observed for non-composite particles in p–Pb collisions. In addition, the production of the rare 3He and 3He nuclei has been studied. The spectrum corresponding to all non-single diffractive p-Pb collisions is obtained in the rapidity window −1 < y < 0 and the pT-integrated yield dN/dy is extracted. It is found that the yields of protons, deuterons, and 3He, normalised by the spin degeneracy factor, follow an exponential decrease with mass number

Make EU trade with Brazil sustainable

Brazil, home to one of the planet's last great forests, is currently in trade negotiations with its second largest trading partner, the European Union (EU). We urge the EU to seize this critical opportunity to ensure that Brazil protects human rights and the environment

Measurements of the groomed and ungroomed jet angularities in pp collisions at s \sqrt{s} = 5.02 TeV

International audienceThe jet angularities are a class of jet substructure observables which characterize the angular and momentum distribution of particles within jets. These observables are sensitive to momentum scales ranging from perturbative hard scatterings to nonperturbative fragmentation into final-state hadrons. We report measurements of several groomed and ungroomed jet angularities in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector. Jets are reconstructed using charged particle tracks at midrapidity (|η| < 0.9). The anti-k$_{T}$ algorithm is used with jet resolution parameters R = 0.2 and R = 0.4 for several transverse momentum {p}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{ch}} ^{jet} intervals in the 20–100 GeV/c range. Using the jet grooming algorithm Soft Drop, the sensitivity to softer, wide-angle processes, as well as the underlying event, can be reduced in a way which is well-controlled in theoretical calculations. We report the ungroomed jet angularities, λ$_{α}$, and groomed jet angularities, λ$_{α,g}$, to investigate the interplay between perturbative and nonperturbative effects at low jet momenta. Various angular exponent parameters α = 1, 1.5, 2, and 3 are used to systematically vary the sensitivity of the observable to collinear and soft radiation. Results are compared to analytical predictions at next-to-leading-logarithmic accuracy, which provide a generally good description of the data in the perturbative regime but exhibit discrepancies in the nonperturbative regime. Moreover, these measurements serve as a baseline for future ones in heavy-ion collisions by providing new insight into the interplay between perturbative and nonperturbative effects in the angular and momentum substructure of jets. They supply crucial guidance on the selection of jet resolution parameter, jet transverse momentum, and angular scaling variable for jet quenching studies.[graphic not available: see fulltext

Inclusive quarkonium production in pp collisions at s=5.02\sqrt{s} = 5.02 TeV

This article reports on the inclusive production cross section of several quarkonium states, $\mathrm{J}/\psi$, $\psi {\rm (2S)}$, $\Upsilon\rm(1S)$, $\Upsilon\rm(2S)$, and $\Upsilon\rm(3S)$, measured with the ALICE detector at the LHC, in \pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 5.02$ TeV. The analysis is performed in the dimuon decay channel at forward rapidity ($2.5 < y < 4$). The measured cross sections, assuming unpolarized quarkonia, are: $\sigma_{\mathrm{J}/\psi} = 5.88 \pm 0.03 \pm 0.34\ \mu$b, $\sigma_{\psi {\rm (2S)}} = 0.87 \pm 0.06 \pm 0.10\ \mu$b, $\sigma_{\Upsilon\rm(1S)} = 45.5 \pm 3.9 \pm 3.5$ nb, $\sigma_{\Upsilon\rm(2S)} = 22.4 \pm 3.2 \pm 2.7$ nb, and $\sigma_{\Upsilon\rm(3S)} = 4.9 \pm 2.2 \pm 1.0$ nb, where the first (second) uncertainty is the statistical (systematic) one. The transverse-momentum ($p_{\rm T}$) and rapidity ($y$) differential cross sections for $\mathrm{J}/\psi$, $\psi {\rm (2S)}$, $\Upsilon\rm(1S)$, and the $\psi {\rm (2S)}$-to-$\mathrm{J}/\psi$ cross section ratios are presented. For the first time, the cross sections of the three $\Upsilon$ states, as well as the $\psi {\rm (2S)}$ one as a function of $p_{\rm T}$ and $y$, are measured at $\sqrt{s} = 5.02$ TeV at forward rapidity. These measurements also significantly extend the $\mathrm{J}/\psi$$p_{\rm T}$ reach with respect to previously published results. A comparison with ALICE measurements in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 2.76$, 7, 8, and 13 TeV is presented and the energy dependence of quarkonium production cross sections is discussed. Finally, the results are compared with the predictions from several production models

Measurement of the Cross Sections of Ξc0\Xi^0_{c} and Ξc+\Xi^+_{c} Baryons and of the Branching-Fraction Ratio BR(Ξc0→Ξ−e+νe\Xi^0_{c} \rightarrow \Xi^-{e}^+\nu_{ e})/BR(Ξc0→Ξ−π+\Xi^0_{c} \rightarrow \Xi^-\pi^+) in pp collisions at 13 TeV

The $p_T$-differential cross sections of prompt charm-strange baryons Ξ$_c^0$ and Ξ$_c^+$ were measured at midrapidity (|y|<0.5) in proton-proton (pp) collisions at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The Ξ$_c^0$ baryon was reconstructed via both the semileptonic decay (Ξ$^-$e$^+$ν$_e$) and the hadronic decay (Ξ$^-$π$^+$) channels. The Ξ$_c^+$ baryon was reconstructed via the hadronic decay (Ξ$^-$π$^+$π$^+$) channel. The branching-fraction ratio BR(Ξ$_c^0$→Ξ$^-$e$^+$ν$_e$)/BR(Ξ$_c^0$→Ξ$^-$π$^+$) = 1.38±0.14(stat)±0.22(syst) was measured with a total uncertainty reduced by a factor of about 3 with respect to the current world average reported by the Particle Data Group. The transverse momentum ($p_T$) dependence of the Ξ$_c^0-$ and Ξ$_c^+$-baryon production relative to the D$^0$ meson and to the Σ$_c^{0,+,++}$- and Λ$_c^+$-baryon production are reported. The baryon-to-meson ratio increases toward low $p_T$ up to a value of approximately 0.3. The measurements are compared with various models that take different hadronization mechanisms into consideration. The results provide stringent constraints to these theoretical calculations and additional evidence that different processes are involved in charm hadronization in electron-positron (e$^+$e$^-$) and hadronic collisions

Finally, the results are compared with the predictions from several production models

Neutral to charged kaon yield fluctuations in Pb – Pb collisions at sNN\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 2.76 TeV

We present the first measurement of event-by-event fluctuations in the kaon sector in Pb – Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The robust fluctuation correlator ν$_{dyn}$ is used to evaluate the magnitude of fluctuations of the relative yields of neutral and charged kaons, as well as the relative yields of charged kaons, as a function of collision centrality and selected kinematic ranges. While the correlator ν$_{dyn}$[K$^+$,K$^−$] exhibits a scaling approximately in inverse proportion of the charged particle multiplicity, ν$_{dyn}$[K$_S^0$,K$^\pm$] features a significant deviation from such scaling. Within uncertainties, the value of ν$_{dyn}$[K$_S^0$,K$^\pm$] is independent of the selected transverse momentum interval, while it exhibits a pseudorapidity dependence. The results are compared with HIJING, AMPT and EPOS–LHC predictions, and are further discussed in the context of the possible production of disoriented chiral condensates in central Pb – Pb collisions
