Forward production of beauty baryons in pp collisions at LHC

The production of charmed and beauty baryons in proton-proton collisions at high energies is analyzed within the modified quark-gluon string model. We present some predictions for the experiments on the forward beauty baryon production in pp collisions at LHC energies. This analysis allows us to find useful information on the Regge trajectories of the heavy (b barb) mesons and the sea beauty quark distributions in the proton.Comment: 14 pages, 12 figure

Making Sense of the War (The Netherlands)

This article deals with the collective narratives Dutch intellectuals drew upon to make sense of the Great War as well as to explain the role and identity of the Netherlands as a neutral nation. These different narratives, which changed over time, co-existed and partially conflicted with one another. But mainly, they need to be understood in an international context, as their construction was, to a large degree, in response to international debates and foreign cultural propaganda activities, as well as to the changing image of Dutch neutrality in the belligerent states

Caucasus Front

The Caucasus Front was the area where combat operations between the Russian and Ottoman Empires were conducted from October 1914 until December 1917 as part of the Caucasus Campaign, one of the military campaigns in the Middle Eastern theatre of war and the front line where Russian advanced units were deployed to engage opposing Ottoman units

Labour Battalions (Ottoman Empire/Middle East)

Ottoman labour battalions were a form of forced labour in lieu of regular military service. The conscription into these units during and after the war has come to be identified with removal from active units, disarmament, internal displacement, and outright murder of Ottoman Armenian and Greek soldiers
