Heavy Ion Physics with ALICE

ALICE will study the physics of the strongly interacting matter produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC where the formation of the Quark Gluon Plasma is expected. The experimental setup, the capabilities of the detector, and a few selected heavy-ion topics are presented and discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures.

Matemáticas y arte con dos años

Propuesta interdisciplinar que integra arte y matemáticas en un aula de 2 años. Basándose en el cuadro “Estudio del color con cuadros y círculos concéntricos” de Kandinsky, se desarrolla la propuesta a través de la exploración y descripción de la obra, en la que se destacan elementos relacionados con la geometría y el color. Finalmente, los niños realizan producciones artísticas inspiradas por la obra, utilizando la estampación y el modelado

New genus, three new species and new records of Herpyllobiidae Hansen, 1892 (Crustacea, Copepoda) parasites of polychaetes from Antarctica

During the Antarctic Polarstern cruises ANT XIX/3 (ANDEEP-I), XIX/5 (LAMPOS), and XXI/2 (BENDEX) new material of symbiotic copepods associated with polynoid polychaetes was collected. Here the authors present results for the highly modified family Herpyllobiidae Hansen, 1892. New records of Herpyllobius antarcticus Vanhöffen, 1913 and Herpyllobius polarsterni López-González, Bresciani and Conradi, 2000 are provided from the eastern Weddell Sea and Bouvet Island respectively. A new species of the genus Eurysilenium Sars, 1870, E. australis, is described from specimens collected at the eastern Weddell Sea. A new genus, Gottoniella gen. nov., is proposed to include two species, G. antarctica sp. nov. and G. andeepi sp. nov., described from material collected from the Weddell Sea and Scotia Arc
