Production of {\pi}+ and K+ mesons in argon-nucleus interactions at 3.2 AGeV

First physics results of the BM@N experiment at the Nuclotron/NICA complex are presented on {\pi}+ and K+ meson production in interactions of an argon beam with fixed targets of C, Al, Cu, Sn and Pb at 3.2 AGeV. Transverse momentum distributions, rapidity spectra and multiplicities of {\pi}+ and K+ mesons are measured. The results are compared with predictions of theoretical models and with other measurements at lower energies.Comment: 29 pages, 20 figure

ВНУТРИПУЗЫРНАЯ ТЕРАПИЯ РАКА МОЧЕВОГО ПУЗЫРЯ: СОВРЕМЕННОЕ СОСТОЯНИЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ

Intravesical chemo/immunotherapy is a constituent of combination treatment for bladder cancer and widely used after transurethral resection of the tumor. The goal of intravesical therapy is to reduce the risk of a recurrence and progression of the disease, by exerting a direct cytotoxic effect on malignancy. The unique properties of the bladder make it possible to constantly improve the existing local therapy options and to develop novel ones, such as intravesical electrophoresis, local hyperthermia, gene therapy, and the use of penetrants and magnetic particles. The given review combines the physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties of drugs, the histoarchitectonic features of the bladder, the present and future of intravesical therapy.Внутрипузырная химио-/иммунотерапия является составной частью комплексного лечения рака мочевого пузыря и широко применяется после трансуретральной резекции опухоли. Цель интравезикальной терапии состоит в снижении риска развития рецидива и прогрессии заболевания за счет прямого цитотоксического воздействия на злокачественное новообразование. Уникальные свойства мочевого пузыря позволяют постоянно совершенствовать существующие и создавать новые методы местного лечения, такие как внутрипузырный электрофорез, локальная гипертермия, генная терапия, применение веществ-пенетрантов и магнитных частиц. Представленный обзор объединяет физико-химические свойства и фармакокинетическую характеристику лекарств, особенности гистоархитектоники мочевого пузыря, настоящее и будущее внутрипузырной терапии

Spectra and mean multiplicities of π−\pi^{-} in central 40Ar+45Sc^{40}Ar+^{45} Sc collisions at 13A, 19A, 30A, 40A, 75A and 150A Ge V/c beam momenta measured by the NA61/SHINE spectrometer at the CERN SPS

International audienceThe physics goal of the strong interaction program of the NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) is to study the phase diagram of hadronic matter by a scan of particle production in collisions of nuclei with various sizes at a set of energies covering the SPS energy range. This paper presents differential inclusive spectra of transverse momentum, transverse mass and rapidity of $\pi ^{-}$ mesons produced in central${}^{40}$Ar+${}^{45}$Sc collisions at beam momenta of 13A, 19A, 30A, 40A, 75A and 150$A\,\text{ Ge }\text{ V }\!/\!\textit{c}$. Energy and system size dependence of parameters of these distributions – mean transverse mass, the inverse slope parameter of transverse mass spectra, width of the rapidity distribution and mean multiplicity – are presented and discussed. Furthermore, the dependence of the ratio of the mean number of produced pions to the mean number of wounded nucleons on the collision energy was derived. The results are compared to predictions of several models

Light (anti)nuclei production cross section studies in pp+C collisions at the NA61/SHINE experiment

NA61/SHINE is a large-acceptance fixed-target experiment located at the CERN SPS, which studies final hadronic states in interactions of various particles and nuclei. It is unique in terms of providing data on a variety of collision systems at different collision energies. This allows for wide deuteron, antiproton and antideuteron production cross-section studies. The latter are currently considered a possible dark matter interaction signal with exceptionally small background. The measurements on carbon target are important to reduce systematic experimental effects due to experiment-internal antideuteron production, as the most abundant element in the path of an incoming particle for the AMS-02 experiment is carbon. My talk will focus on analysis of NA61/SHINE data on $p$+C thin target collisions in context of light (anti)nuclei production. I will present a preliminary analysis of experimental data and discuss quality cuts and the particle identification method as well as present deuteron and antideuteron yields

The NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) studies the onset of deconfinement in hadron matter by a scan of particle production in collisions of nuclei with various sizes at a set of energies covering the SPS energy range.

The energy dependence of the K ± K± /π ± π± ratios as well as of inverse slope parameters of the K ± K± transverse mass distributions are close to those found in inelastic p+p reactions. The new results are compared to the world data on p+p and Pb+Pb collisions as well as to predictions of the Epos, Urqmd, Ampt, Phsd and Smash models

Proton-proton interactions and onset of deconfinement

The experiment of the NA61/SHINE Collaboration at the CERN SPS is performing a unique study of the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter by varying collision energy and nuclear mass number of colliding nuclei. In central Pb+Pb collisions, the experiment of the NA49 Collaboration found structures in the energy dependence of several observables in the energy range of the CERN SPS that had been predicted for the transition to a deconfined phase. New measurements of the NA61/SHINE Collaboration find intriguing similarities in p+p interactions for which no deconfinement transition is expected at the energies of the SPS. Possible implications will be discussed
